Same goes for internet fodder posted on here by using a link that certain people have a habit of doing.

At least photographing wildlife is a challenge & gets us out & about rather than sitting on our arses looking at a computer screen all day.

And now back to the tennis. biggrinbiggrin

Easy solution.

If YOU do not like it, do not watch it.

Lots obviously do.

Ditto.

Don't watch it but unfortunately if you want to watch the news the highlights regularly show the "Grossly overpaid, inflated egos, grunting look at me racquet smashing adults, behaving like spoiled brats. Ugh!"

 We don't watch it, only on the sports segment of the evening news program. That's more than enough.

Can't say it would bother me if Cindy put it on the same list as religion and politics.

I agree, don't see much point to this type of post from grumpy old buggers.confuse

As a matter of interest I enjoy the tennis, underlines the fact that it takes all types.wink

What poor form by Serena Williams with that petulant, childish outburst. When that didn't work, out came the old discrimination card. That poor Japanese girl had the biggest moment of her sporting life (to date) totally ruined by that ignorant oaf.

I see she needs just one more grand slam to equal Margaret Court's record. As far as sportsmanship goes, she could win another ten and still not be worthy to carry Margaret Court's bags.

Well said  DMaxer

It was a pleasure to watch a big sook get what was coming to her.  A great tennis player but a poor looser.blankstareblankstareblankstareblankstareblankstareblankstareblankstare

Since women get the same pay as men they should be playing the best of 5 sets as per men.

When sex robots become more realistic and economically priced women are going to have the greatest shock their gender has ever experienced.

Women are doing themselves a great disservice by pretending to be gender biased against every time something happens they don't like.

'Twill be most interesting to watch the "gender issue" over the next 20 years. Williams played the wrong card.

Apparently Mark Knight has been crucified for this cartoon. Apparently it's racist & sexist.

Can't see how its racist or sexist. he has depicted a black woman throwing a tantrum as a black woman throwing a tantrum. Very accurate I would of thought.
