Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2846688, member: 1026"] That’s good historical detail. I’m a casual fan and don’t remember anything bubbling up to the surface other than Billy Jean (vaguely) and Martina, both of whom I was biased against at the time because they were lesbian. I just think this is the same shot. It’s way over now for the Open, USTA & women’s tennis have admitted a wrong, looking in to rule or policy changes. But defenders of the white male old school establishment are still ranting at Serena. To me seems to be solely protecting turf. The fact that Serena was losing and lost more easily should make it logistically less offensive. Yet I think it enrages more than if Serena had rallied & won (I.e the pro Serena reaction makes that plausibly, WE MUST SQUASH this now), possibly subliminally motivated to make certain the minority’s can’t rise up.
