Yep, big sisters take care of business- mine didn't even like me, but she'd kick A if someone else started in on me.

Nasty bastards? why? because they asked some questions that the sisters were uncomfortable to answer? the journalist was not at all agressive, he spoke in a very calm way with no intention of ofend anyone or being agressive. Venus was the agressive one, in this case pasive-agressive, and playing the victim card. Not suprised though.

She knew the tricks he was trying to play and undercut them masterfully. Any other eay and he probably would've tried to make a scene out of it.

Yes!

Why do emotions bother you so much? Why do ppl need to be quiet when checking someone? Maybe a cultural thing?

@@vm1ccc Venus didn't have to be quiet when "checking" him. However, she chose to keep her composure when responding, thus robbing him and other reporters of a chance to spin this encounter into the angry black woman trope. She used her intelligence and incredible media savvy to take that power away from him. Checkmate!

@@vm1ccc im american and i noticed in youtube comments sections people say stuff like that a lot. i personally dont understand it. i dont like how people feel the need to try and box others into some weird inauthentic expressionless mode. like why do we have to use hushed tones to make the more nervous personality types feel more comfortable? if I'm checking someone, not showing emotion doesnt make me classy. the person who is out of line in the first place needs to be looked at for they behave more because they're the one trying to purposely antagonize the other.

oh the way she cleared!!!!

@@nathanjuste6778 LISTEN. I watched that specific part way more than I should have lmao

That's why we love her.👊🏼☺

Facts!

Big sister Venus is tougher than folks give her credit for being. Love her! Love them both!

Well said - I can see what Naomi Osaka said she doesn't want to face them.

I don’t even get why they have to do them. Are the people asking the questions ex players who know how playing feels or ppl who haven’t experienced sh*t and could never understand their situation? I just don’t get the point of all this picking apart. If I were an athlete I’d want to discuss it with my coach/team to see how I could do better and that’s it. No thanks to being picked apart like this after some of your lowest moments. ✋

It's part of the contract they willingly signed to walk out with a couple-million-dollars check after winning 5 or 6 tennis matches. Put in perspective, not even as hard as to face with your sales manager every month (if you work in sales, that is), eat whatever sh*t he's got in mind to throw at you, and walk out with the same pay. Give sales people, delivery ppl, table waiting ppl, cashiers, etc a rough press conference every now and then adding a $1K to their weekly income and see how smiley/happy they'll all repeatedly answer any "rough" questions the press may come up with. And even then these everyday workers wouldn't come close to grasping the kind of privileges tennis players get.

@@cricketmonday1469 The og comment was about how press conferences seem like more of a negative than a positive and you wrote a speech about how privileged they are to have this negative as long as they get a fat check. Regardless of the amount of 0s, I'm sure a cashier would get tired of people picking them apart after a long shift just the same as any high paid athlete.

@@spottedjellyfish5490 I agree with you Jelly. Yup. And I never missed the point of negative vs positive of press conference. But still they SHOULD do it regardless without a complaint -even if tired, down because of loss, or if they don't like the kind of repetitive questions being asked- for they signed a contract "in exchange" for that fat check; just as cashier signs a similar one yet for min wage.

Same forever and ever amen

@@eldrickt.w.3525 it was classier than the reporter was and he did become aggressive. He raised his voice and his tone was curt and rude .

They truly did try to continuously bait them with their coded language and condescending questioning to portray them as "overly aggressive angry black girls/women" actually grotesque

Even if I don't know the score ! I enjoy those techniques and, skills the Williams can manifest perfection. This sports person with 24 grands, wants Serena to admire her. Serena doesn't have to admire anyone.

All over the Caucasian world you have people of colour told to work twice as hard just to even get seen.Also feel they have to be TWICE as nice or even three times as nice to get appreciated by people who themselves can be minus 3x's as horrible. All shown in the case of the Williams sisters and how they've been seen as an intrution by the ............? Good observation Jojo

@Sixth Compactor crip walking over your reply

It’s not bc their skin color. It’s the difference between how women and men are usually treated. Famous or not. MAJOR double standard just like so many other double standards between the two sexes.

Part of the job

Your wrong Walt. It's top-10 players who are treated like gods ('cause they sell tickets!) even when their behaviour is less than poor. At the end of the day EACH ONE (player/journalist) is doing his job... but players get away with the "way" they release frustration.

​@@metamorphicme9378, they ask dumb questions across the racial spectrum AND the rate of dumb and demeaning questions is higher for certain racial groups and also for women. That's been studied so you'll have to find better racism denier metrics than "vibes".

@G.D, so then you don't read peer-reviewed scholarly journals that study racist behavior and bias. And, you have no idea how much research I have conducted. I do find it quite fascinating when people jump in with a knee jerk denial of racism when they have no idea what the research actually says.

I think they all got equally grilled

@G.D, apparently you do need to be told what racism is because you incorrectly objected to my merely pointing out the well documented fact that black people are more likely to be asked demeaning questions. You fit nicely into another area of research. That is, people who deny racism exists are more likely to quickly claim racism has not occurred when they have nothing but their own immediate fragility and discomfort to use as data.

She deserves our respect and as a women and a person she has the whole spectrum of human emotions. She needs to be kind to herself allow her self to have emotions and also allow herself the opportunity to grow from each life experience. R E S P E C T !!!!
