Mixed emotions

Serena Williams lost her semi-final match at the French Open and, as the Telegraph reports, was "loudly booed off court by an outrageously partisan French crowd."

Now, normally I'd be stomping my size 11 boots all over the cheese-eating surrender monkeys. But last month, Serena's loudmouth father said the following things to a French magazine as reported by ESPN:

In an interview with the French magazine L'Equipe on Saturday, Williams blasted the tennis world for racism, claimed no one will ever defeat his daughters all while saying he thought his daughters should take some time off from tennis.

and

"So women's tennis is getting boring. And you know why? Because two lovely black women dominate it.
"They're better than the white girls and that's intolerable. It's downgrading, lamentable," he said.
Williams said his daughters were the victims of racist prejudice from within the tennis world.

and

Williams also said he will never salute the flag because of racism in America.
"It has no meaning for me," he said.

Yes, America has been awful to Richard Williams. Maybe it's time for a Reebok boycott.
