two sisters from the inner cities (Compton and Lynwood, I was born in Lynwood and spent MANY summers in Compton) of LA doing VERY well for themselves.

Of course I a speaking of the UNBEATABLE doubles play of Serena and Venus Williams when they GOT THE GOLD!!!!! Not really a surprise, what was surprising was that they didn't get any gold (or silver) for the individual matches. Oh well, maybe in four years, we'll see

so these people CAN'T vote because of their religion??? 

I never knew this!  WHY?? 

Sharapova is the actual spelling but that Russian tennis bitch SHRIEKS on every serve and every time she hits the freaking ball. It’s distracting and unsportsmanlike, cheating in my book, but they allow it. Even the commentators mentioned her “shrieking” yesterday. That was a first from what I’ve seen. It’s become worse too. It’s like something right out of a horror movie the way she sounds.

Then, yesterday at the French Open she’s playing Patty Schnyder (pronounced Schneeder), a fine young French gal who had her first shot at the title. The match is down to the final set and it’s Schnyder on top, SHRIEKapova serves and as she tosses the ball in the air a spectator yells something. Schnyder holds her hand up in the air signifying that she concedes there was a problem so the serve should not count and be redone. The asshole judge though gives SHRIEKAPOVA the point, unearned! Schnyder loses the point, then the next one or two (clearly due to having been wronged and due to even LOUDER SHRIEKING by SHRIEKapova) and then loses the match and her chances at the title.

I don’t understand why judges in tennis or referees in other games seem to take any chance they get to play God. They make mistakes. In tennis, they have a most sophisticated computerized system with many cameras that shows precisely where the ball falls, on the line or inside or over the line. It’s called Hawkeye. The French Open refuses to use it. They’re snobs and there’s no other explaination for it. Virtually every other world class tournament uses it. They use instant playbacks in football too. Sports refs and judges need to get down off of their high horse once in a while and admit they’re human. Don’t even get me started on the imbiciles who dare call themselves judges in the Olympics with all their politics skewing the ratings they give those hard working athletes.
