So I went to the U.S. Open, I was lucky enough to be invited and I got to the game and I was there rooting for Serena through and through. I think what Osaka did was amazing. If you watch the game, she was phenomenal, played a perfect game. And Serena even said this before, she said, when people play me, they played their absolute best, which is true. You know, everyone expects Serena to win, but everyone who comes is like, this is my moment. This is the greatest moments I'll ever have and thraca. And tho, tho, tho, tho, the tho, tho, tho, tho, and thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrina, thi, thi, thi, thrina, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thr-a, thrown. And, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thr-a, thrown, thrown, th't know, the broad strokes of what happened in the story were, Serino was playing in the match, and then the umpire said that gave Serino a warning because he said, hey, your coach is coaching you, which is against the rules in tennis, which personally I don't understand at all. I'm like, what's a coach for if a coach can't coach you?

That seems like a really weird thing because apparently like coaches are not supposed to coach you this is just supposed to come to your game and just be like mm-hmm like it's a weird but they're not allowed to coach which I think is really dumb just let the people coach every sport has coaching do you know what I mean imagine if like NBA coaches or like NFL coaches like the players would come off and they'll be like coach what the players they're like what they're like to do now and they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're like they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're the th th thy. thy. thi thi th coach. It's not like taking drugs, it's your coach, you know. So that's the first part I don't get, but either way, like coaching is like a foul. You can get a, you can get a penalty because of doing that. And so they warned her. But most commentators have said that when the coach was trying to coach, he was like trying the coaching, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, anything. So she gets the warning. She goes, what the hell are you talking about? I wasn't looking at my coach.

And the umpire is like, he's like, almost like, I don't care what you, I'm just telling you your coach was coaching. He broke the rules the rulethen the guy docks her a game point, which is huge in tennis. I mean, you know, there's a big deal. And then, like Serena got angry on the court, which again, sports people do. This is a normal thing, not just in tennis, in every sport. And it's just been interesting to see how the discussion has evolved and and moll, you know, like on one side, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the, Serena, the, Serena, the, the, the, Serena, the, th. Serena, like, the, like, like, like, like, like just, oh, she- and it's like, yo, we never say that about NBA players. You know, we never say that when LeBron is fighting about a foul, I never, we never like, LeBron lost it. He lost all, can he melt, it was his meltdown.

When baseball players rushed the umpire, you know when they do that, they never go like, they had a meltdown. Look at all of them throwing a tantrum. They're just like, it got really passionate. Look at the passion in this game. Temper's flaring. Tempers flaring. And then with Serena's like, she's really lost it. She's just, she needs to calm down. She's like, yo, that's what a sportsman or sportswoman will do in a game. And then it became like this convoluted conversation of like, is she being treated equally? She's not being treated equally. Most tennis players came out and said, hey look, what she did, all the guys do, not just being coached, but also talking trash to the ref, to the the the the them, them, them, them, them, them, they, thuuiiiiiui, thui, thui, thui, thui, thi, thi, tho, thoes, thoes, thoes, the, thi, and then, thee, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, and tho, and tho, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and thi, and thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, theree, theree, thereea, tooereea, tooereea, tooed, tooed, tooed, thoomed, thoomed, the umpire they were like yeah we all do that only difference is we don't get penalized the same way and that's the conversation that's come out now is that like even in tennis

even at that level of a sport youvez with CBS where people go, the women said they were afraid to come out on their side because they were worried that they would then become the target of what had happened. But you see constantly that we don't live in a world where everyone is treated the same. And now I'm not saying that Serena shouldn't be punished. I'm saying it the guys where it's like why aren't they being punished? Do you know what I mean? Why aren't they being called out on these things? Why aren't they because it's got to be equal one way or the other? Either everyone fights or everyone gets punished. Now I personally think everyone should fight. I think that's more fun I think I want to see that. I want to see racit's being smashed. I want to see people people people people people people people people people people people people people dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dising people dising people dising people dising people dising I'm dising people dising people dising people dising dising dising dising dising dising the the the the their dissing dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dising dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dis dising.
