Serena wins, racists make comments.

I was too nervous to watch the 3rd set of the match with Vika ahead at 5-3.  So I shut the TV and did some errands.  Later when I checked the website, the final score of the 3rd set was 5-7 with Serena winning the match.  Serena managed to dig deep and win the next 3 games.  Good job and congratulations for the 15th Grand Slam title.

I am obviously a Serena Williams fan and I admire her tenacity and athletic abilities in tennis.  She is not the prettiest in the tour but she is the best.  In fact she has a lot of muscle but not completely mannish cause she also has a lot of curves.  Like any public figure, there are fans and there are people who hates her.   What I find repulsive is how some people criticize her for her looks rather than for her playing flaws or unbecoming behaviors.  And I think that is just super shallow of these people that hides behind the anonymity of the cyber space.  Here are some example of comments on the Yahoo article of Serena's latest US Open win.  A lot of the comments I copied and paste here are just plain ignorant and racist.  These people would not dare make comments like that in person where people can see their face and scorn at them for their redneck ignorant comments.  They want to keep their racism to themselves but not in the cyber world where they can be anonymous.  Cowards!

i think she has a tree trunk under that skirt
SHE IS A MAN. She should be banned. She might have small #$%$
The african male silverback gorilla wielding a racket beats the #1 female player in the world. Roids, XY chromosomes & testosterone always give an unfair advantage over an XX-chromosomed female. Sir eena got lucky this time; he should be required to play in the men's tour.....
- Typical monkey pose. Mouth open ready to feed.
- Wonder when they are ging to get the chimps back in their pens? Zoo parade goes on.
