Steve Shaw BS: Silly Official Requirements (46) RE: BS: Silly Official Requirements 10 Sep 18


She was losing anyway, Thomson. The winner was weeping because of Serena's rotten behaviour, which, in different circumstances, could have been seen as a deliberate attempt to rattle her opponent. I have every sympathy with Serena's sentiment. My sole focus here is that she should not have let rip on court. I see from the media and Woman's Hour, etc., that I'm in a minority. But the point is that there is far too much questioning and barracking of referees and umpires going on in sport. There should be zero tolerance of that whether it's a man or a woman, rich or poor. I agree with you completely about the clothing issue. But if you have a grievance, act sportingly on court and take it outside afterwards. Poor or inconsistent refs and umpires are everywhere in sport. You have the right to complain, but just remember that millions of people who tuned in to be entertained are watching you. Paying you, actually.
