Originally posted by Invasionmix That's probably the most drama in drama in tennis history. Costing a U.S. Open semi-finals. And threatening to kill the line person. I hope she gets kicked out of the Women's Tennis Association along with a hefty fine. If they let her off with just a fine what does it show for the sport itself letting someone threaten an official and get off that easily. I'm sure if it was someone that wasn't as big Serena she would get kicked out. Sean Avery got kicked out of the NHL for saying something less offensive.

Are you kidding bud???

Why don't you goto you tube and type in John McEnroe...

If stuff like this happened in every tennis match I might pick watching tennis over watching paint dry.

yeah, seriously, i would like to know what McEnroe has to say about this.

he's stayed out of it. Originally on the telecast he was upset that it was called, but after he began to see the scale in which this would be interpreted he kept quiet. Of course, the other people on air jabbed at him a little bit and he took it with good humour.

Yah because it wasn't him...

But if it was, believe me there would be rackets broken and A LOT more swearing...

lol I remember they were actually thinking of broadcasting matches with him with a delay so they could censor his swearing

the difference between the two is that he just swore and broke rackets....he never threatened the life of line person.

I copied this from another board for truth...

quote:

I don't think the point is whether Serena "threatened" anyone less we are to believe she intended on following through, which is ridiculous to say the least, it's the behavior, and the behavior was similar to McEnroe. McEnroe constantly got off light, whereas people are calling for Serena's head.

Regardless, one can be arrested for threatening someone...regardless of intent to follow through. If I was the line judge I would have made sure she was arrested and I would file a hefty civil lawsuit against her.

dude by your logic people should be arrested for every verbal "threat"? that's a bit extreme, dontcha think?

Just because some law enforcement officals don't enforce the law doesn't mean it shouldn't be. To threaten someone's life is a serious offence. If someone you didn't know threatened you, wouldn't you be just a little scared?

I think Serena was let off easy, no matter what fines she gets. I would be filing a multi million dollar lawsuit against her.

a lot of the times things are said at the heat of the moment and for most part don't mean anything
if I was sued every time I yelled "I want to ring his/her neck!", I'd be in a poor house already..

she behaved in a disgraceful manor and obviously has extremetly poor self control... but lets not all turn into big pussies about it....I think her fine was appropriate punishment.

It's this sort of chicken shit mentality that is clogging court systems the world over with frivolous law suits. Ridiculous. Threatening should be met with a fine & no right to do anything after that fine unless there's a repeat occurance.

I think so too
next time she'll probably bite her tongue before saying crap like that on live TV

no...its people filling court rooms to fight speeding tickets and parking tickets that clog the system.

A "good" lawyer with "good" doctors can make this case worth millions for the psychological trauma this lady will suffer from for the rest of her life....hell she may never be able to work again because of the trauma (I know a few psychologists who I could get to say that). Something like this would never see the inside of a court room and would be settled outside of court.

Any psychologist who comes up with bullshit like that should be charged with conspiracy to commit fraud, along with the doctors, lawyers, and the plaintiff. It is absolutely pathetic that in this day & age people can get away with trumped up lies because someone yelled at them, regardless of what was yelled.

To anyone that ever acts in a manner such as this, perhaps you should just commit suicide, because you are clearly a waste of food, water, oxygen, and space.

It's time to stop molly-coddling the pansies of the world. If you can't take a verbal barrage, don't become an official in a multi-million dollar sport, and stay the hell away from positions in life where confrontation is to be expected.
