The thing with Serena over the US Open Finals triggered a slew of emotions from not only the sports world, but everyone else who has an opinion on what is appropriate or what is acceptable.
I want to meet Serena Williams and give her a great big hug. I admire her even more. I am a multi-sport athlete and I love to win. More importantly, I am a proud woman with enough success to justify defending myself when my character and/or integrity is attacked. Serena was attacked and she appropriately defended herself.
Whether accidentally or on purpose, people want winners to lose. And when in a position to control an outcome, people take advantage. But why do we want those on top to lose? Jealous? Doesn’t have to be a bad word.
Go Serena!!!
