Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, June 29, 2003

The Williams sisters are rolling through Wimbledon.

Their mom recently told George Vecsey that she thinks the French Open fans gave Serena a tough time because of her race. Eric at Off Wing has this take on the situation.

Although I think it's fair to say that the Williams have in the past had to fight extra battles due to their skin color, I have to agree with Eric about this one. I love Serena, but she was really stupid when she did that interview making fun of French people in the fake accent. No one should have been surprised that Rolland Garros fans were hard on her after that.
