S. Williams/Direct TV commercial--am I the only person who finds it ironic?

Serena's having a hard time concentrating on her serve because there's monsters screaming on the court...

(no, I don't think Serena's a monster, but she's one of the loudest screamers in women's tennis)

I find it difficult to watch unless I mute the TV.

That being besides the point... do you think the commercial was meant to come off this way?

I find it ironic in part because she once lost a game in a US Open Final because she yelled while her opponent (Sam Stosur) was hitting, known as a hindrance.
