The great Serena Williams

In a tense match point at the US Open, an unwise line judge called a foot fault on Serena Williams. Honestly, this judge can not have been thinking clearly, but that's neither here nor there. Williams lost her temper, the judge scampered over to the tournament ref, and Williams was disqualified from the tournament. And so now more people are watching the US Open on youtube than would have watched otherwise. It's great coverage for the other player, too, what's her name.

But don't criticize Williams. It's her fire that makes her great.

I personally am kind of tired of the obsession this country has with sports. Trillions spent (and made) every year to watch scores of angry meathead duke it out. Entertainment in this country has become waay out of hand. I have met too many zomboids to refute that. Fight after fight after fight. If it bleeds it leads. There also seems to be no point in playing any kind of sport unless you make a fortune doing so. There is the argument many have nothing else to set their sites on. I find this a cop-out on their and society's part.
Yet, until we can quell the hate even just a little, this is how it will continue.
I like bowling. One of the few sports where women wear pantyhose.
