i don t believe it is a good idea to apply a standard that if men can get away with it women should be able to, too. rather, i think the question we have to ask ourselves is this. what is the right way to behave to honor our sport and to respect our opponents? i think i agree with both at least to some degree. when i say that i mean this. you can believe that serena misbehaved and crossed a line and went too far. you can definitely believe that. you can also believe that there is a double standard, that serena was held to a different standard than the many men in tennis who have berated chair umpires. some of the names are legendary. even names like james blake who said he has done worse and has not been penalized.
standard than the many men in tennis who have berated chair umpires. some of the names are legendary. even names like james blake who said he has done worse and has not been penalized. you can have both thoughts. i think it is a great national conversation to have about what kind of demands we re placing on our female athletes. do we want them to be feminine? what is about this chair umpire? obviously, he is the one person on earth who is not speaking about this. is it because serena is a woman? because she is an african-american woman? no doubt, he was calling, for example the coaching penalty that started the entire cascade of events. he was penalizing serena and the coach for coaching, apparently according to everyone in tennis no one calls that penalty. yet this man actually called
ramos instead of escalating the situation should have let it go. two different chances where he could have taken a different path, used discretion and he made himself the story in this and you never absolutely the last thing you want to be doing the day after a final is talking about the chair ump. she has been fined $17,000. what happens to him? according to the rule book he did nothing wrong, he followed the rules, it s just that chair umpires don t do that, and even the commentators at espn were like we have never seen this in a grand slam final, but ramos did not do anything wrong. and it was heartbreaking, even for the winner. yeah, she was wronged as well. millions of people along the east coast are on high alert as hurricane florence gains stre
there. what is different in this case? you told us you ve seen men do worse, but what exactly could or should the ump have done? so the chair umpire has incredible latitude and discretion. most chair umpires issue a warning. so, coaching is almost never called. i think in the entire u.s. open tournament this year, maybe it was called three times with it s a real minor infraction. it s something that her coach did, not the player. it clearly didn t affect the play on the court. and so most chair umpires would issue a warning and say your coach is trying to signal you. that needs to stop. instead, he assessed her a code violation. in the second instance, she broke her racket. he had to do something, no question about it. it s pretty cut and dry there. the problem is that he had already assessed her the first code violation for really a terribly minor infraction. so now he has her on the edge of the precipious.
