The sexism is that men say much worse to the umpire and get away with it. The thing that Serena doesn’t realise is that the men may say worse but they let it go after a game or change of ends, they say their bit and then stop. Serena didnt stop she just kept on going.
Calling an umpire a liar and a thief is about as bad and low as it gets. Any comment from John McEnroe on the whole furore?
Not that i have seen.
That’s not necessarily correct. Male players have said worse but some have been sanctioned correctly. The Italian player Fabio Fognini was thrown out of the US Open last year for calling a female umpire a whore and a cocksucker. He got fined about $100,000 as well. Mind you that outburst from Fognini was the most shameful and disgusting that I can ever recall.
Serena has the right to behave as obnoxious and as badly as the worst male tennis player because she is a woman. It’s her right innit?
McEnroe shouted a lot 30 years ago or something which gives her the right to throw a tantrum and publicly abuse a man for doing his job.
Do women get paid the same as men in tennis? They work far less do they not?
Dont forget she is a mother now as well, so she can do what she likes.

Yes, they’ve been paid the same as the men for a few years now but only have to play 3 sets in the Grand Slams.
Some people don’t understand caricatures
The umpires are striking back. Serena will have to call her own matches. 
Why don’t they use female umpires for women’s games?
Wimbledon to introduce a tie break in the final set when the score reaches 12-12 in 2019.
That’s giraffes for you.
