Nothing wrong with Serena standing up for her rights as a Women..

She`s probably the greatest Women`s tennis player of all time... But what she done last night was terrible and very disrespectful to Naomi

The reality is that she robbed Naomi Osaka her moment of celebration, not the umpire...

And it wouldn't be the first time she has responded in this manner when staring defeat in the face...

Political correctness has people so gripped by fear that very few people of prominence are calling out Serena for fear of the backlash that would come their way and so people have become sycophants drumming out the same platitudes to soothe fragile egos...

A world gone mad...

The wrong thread but I am going to bring to Clanners attention that a couple in their 80's were attacked in their home, 3 doors from my parents' home in Tongaat (KZN North Coast), on Saturday afternoon.

The uncle was killed from that stab wounds inflicted (funeral tomorrow) and the aunt was so badly injured that she had to have her eye removed today so don't know if she will be able to attend funeral of person she spent 50+ years of her life with (I'm from that generation that called everyone older than me and unrelated "uncle" and "aunt"). I was in the same class as their son from pre-school to Matric, we played league and representative sport together and so knew the parents very well and it is sickening that this is what happened to them in the winter of their lives when they could do nothing to defend themselves...much the same happened to the wife's grandaunt (86 year old) +-2 years...

There is an anger that is fermenting in the community and many innocents are going to be on the wrong end of it...
