1. don't give a crap about over-paid athletes
male-female-any color-any age

primadonna sports figures are sadly, just another symptom of our sick society.

3. From "Polythene Pam":
"She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
Yes you could say she was attractively built
Yeah yeah yeah"

she is and what sport she plays. To answer your question I like Serena.

6. Both.
She's a pampered, arrogant, spoiled primadonna who also happens to be brilliant at her game and as hot as the sun itself.

10. Serena and Venus are the living Goddesses of tennis.
No athlete has ever dominated their sport like these two.

11. She's nice
But I think out of the two, Samatha Stevens was better looking.

12. That old double standard
Why wasn't John McInroe fined after his temper tandrums?.Could it be there are double standards in tennis,or is it just pure and simple racism,a few year ago something similar happened to Serena,could it be that she is tired of the bad calls against her?.

15. He was ...

McEnroe was fined multiple times, suspended on at least one occasion I can personally remember, fined then threatened with suspension and being thrown out of the US Open for one of his outbursts, denied a traditional membership in the All England Club for a year, was hounded in the press, booed by fans ... need I go on?

You can thank Nike for creating a "bad boy I can love" image.

Serena will survive this, just like every other mega-popular superstar athlete who acts like an ass.
