I don’t know. Cartoons are supposed to be a parody, he was not kind to Serena though.

What I can't deal with is the virtue signaling of all the male tennis players whom are trying to be woke. This umpire has given Nadal infractions. He's got a reputation for a quick whistle. The difference here is Nadal stopped with the one code violation, Serena broke her racket and then called him a thief. She's a brat. Sports Media out there not calling her out is a bit annoying.

Dylan Hartley received an 11-Week ban for calling Wayne Barnes a cheat in a match. Her lack of respect for officials is idiotic.

@Ooh-Rah's title captured it. She is poor loser. Period.

Attempts to frame this as anything else (ie. sexism, racism, etc) are asinine. Nothing wrong with the cartoon either. She threw a bitch fit and broke stuff. The cartoon captures that perfectly. What's worse is Serena has stolen Osaka's moment through her antics. So, fuck her. I see stories like this and it just reinforces my belief that our society has lost all personal accountability.

Caricatures are rarely kind. I'd say he's gone light on compared to the treatment most of our politicians get in the cartoons.

That nuance thing people no longer get (or appreciate).
Everyone is too busy getting offended or outraged.

I was told early in my Marine life by a 1st Sgt. that if you aren't cheating you don't care.

Umpires are obviously sexist towards men.

I wonder what that looks like when you weigh it for the volume of tennis Men play v Women, 5 set games v 3 set games?

I was wondering the same thing. Raw numbers almost never accurately reflect the circumstances.
At the end of the day, she wasn't penalized for calling the ump a thief; she was penalized for repeatedly talking shit to him.
