Agreed.

Just a massive difference in attitudes towards exercise in the different countries (lifting weights especially) Lots of American high schools have gyms better than the best paid for gyms in the UK. Where as over here lifting weights while still in school is still somewhat frowned upon (lifting will stunt your growth is still something I hear regularly)

Rugby is one of the bigger sports in France. Their domestic league is one of the best in the world.

Except this is completely false. Players get warnings for their coaches actions a lot. It's not a rare thing. Yes it's the coaches fault and not Serena's but her taking the punishment is completely normal.

Of course! There is a dog room

Thanks! and no more commuting. Nice 10 minute walk with the dogs from my front door to the gym.

I spend about 3 and a half hours a day travelling at the moment and it suckksss. I do not recommend it.

It seems like you don't really know how the rules work. Of course it cost them less as it wasn't a 3rd violation. Serena Williams is literally my favourite tennis player of all time also. So I am not viewing it from an I hate Serena lens which you seem to think a lot are doing.

How the hell did he keep making it worse?! I'm starting to wonder if we watched the same thing. He had ZERO choice with the violations for the racquet smash and the abuse,

Of course the coach said that.

You keep repeating that first sentence as if it's fact. It's your opinion. People get warnings for coaching ALL THE TIME. (I believe it happened two other times just in this one tournament) This is not some one off that has just happened to Serena.

I don't really expect her to be composed. I would probably have lost my shit also. I would also expect to be punished for doing that.

I disagree. If he didn't punish Williams for her tirade he would definitely have been criticised.

I don't think people are ignoring it. They just don't agree with you.

No you usually do argue in good faith BUT until you show one example of a male player acting like Serena did and getting away with it then your argument here simply has no merit. You keep saying there are so many examples, so just pick one. I sympathise with Serena, I am also a massive fan but to say that if a man had done the same things as her they wouldn't have been punished is just nonsense.
