Venus won this morning earning her seventh Grand Slam championship and fifth Wimbledon title.
This was Venus' first Grand Slam win over her sister since the 2001 U.S. Open. This was the third time the two were matched up in a Wimbledon title with Serena leading now 2-1.
Might I add how difficult it was to watch this match having to hear the commentators compare Venus' athletic ability to condors and horses. Why must black people always be compared to animals? There are enough words in the English language to describe greatness. That really gets on my nerves. I really hate when Black male athletes with tremendous ability are always referred to as beasts. Lebron James is a beast, and so on. I know its slang, but if we want to do with the n-word, we need to do away with even more derogatory slang that is degrading as well like dog, beasts, and anything else that we are not.
I really hate watching tennis because I swear everytime Venus and Serena plays its like watching the Haters Ball. These people really hate that these women have more going on outside of the game and can still come in and win championships and make it look easy. I never hear the same negativity during other games especially in relation to endorsements and business ventures. Saying a player should stick to just their sport, when they're excelling in both arenas, is just hatin at its worst.
