  • WuShuGuShuPORK, on 08/19/2008, -1/+5Jhamal, every comment you've made on this site is overtly racist and ignorant... with bad grammar and spelling to boot.
    "its funny how desperate white ppl r getting. u dont control amerika no more get over it you fat retards (its not my fault ur woman prefur black dik lol)"
    "wut r u gunna do about it? bow ur head down and avoid eye contact with black men like a good white boy rofl"
    "is it just me or do white ppl only compete in limpdick sports while blacks dominate the real events? lol"
    "lol srry 4 stealing all ur white pussy u can have the fat ones i guess lol btw i doubt u have the balls 2 spew ur racism 2 a black mans face u would get ur white ass beat and u know it rofl"
    "carefull ur racism is showing crawl back into ur trailor plz the meth lab needs supervision"
    You're a fool. Go to a Black Panther rally, where you're wanted, you ignorant piece of *****. I really hope you're a troll; you're a disgrace to your race if you're not.
  • spireax, on 08/19/2008, -2/+6What a crock of ***** they haven't dominated tennis since 2003! They're 4th and 8th in the world. Venus has only ever won 2/4 grand slam events. And serena has only one one grand slam in the last 3 years! They've now downgraded to playing doubles. You people know nothing about sport.
  • bigcynic, on 08/18/2008, -2/+6Don't feel bad, white folks. You still own lacrosse and horseshoes.
  • spidoman, on 08/19/2008, -5/+9And slaves.

    (Don't kill me, it's a racism joke for a racism joke)
  • Linkin4, on 08/18/2008, -2/+5jesus run on sentence christ
  • analreceiver, on 08/19/2008, -1/+4America stopped caring about tennis when Sampras and Agassi stopped being the top players...... what's funny is that with the Federer - Nadal rivalry, the tennis level is higher than ever, and America is missing it because of arrogance.
  • inactive, on 08/19/2008, -1/+4who gives a *****? some millionaire athletes won a piece of metal from a corrupt commercial organization constructed for the single purpose of selling your dumbass coke, tampax and name brand douche bags.
  • zoomassrocks, on 08/19/2008, -2/+5"But it's tennis, and the world yawns."
    No....it should be "But it's tennis and America yawns". Not all the world looks at tennis as a boring sport.
  • ZenMojo, on 08/19/2008, -1/+3Downgraded to winning doubles.
  • nikeboy32, on 08/18/2008, -3/+5Go United States!!!
  • inactive, on 08/18/2008, -3/+5Nice to see a tennis article making the front page.

    Congrats to the Williams sisters. Now if only they wouldn't grunt so dramatically, I might be able to watch them play.
  • tropwnin, on 08/19/2008, -2/+3and you can't spell very well at all.
  • inactive, on 08/18/2008, -3/+4I'm so excited! Now I have to see their pictures up for another day!
  • JonyMill, on 08/18/2008, -1/+2Its a photo template, and inside is a "tiger lilly"
  • SimmaDownNow, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1Our country will never, ever be what the framers intended. Hell, it wasn't then either.
  • Iztikeit, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1Black people and white people are my brothers. We are all brothers and sisters. How can this not be so?
  • frakir, on 08/19/2008, -1/+2Olympics is supposed to be a competition of non proffessionals. Can not swallow that from Williams sisters, sori
  • WuShuGuShuPORK, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1And hockey.

  • HHP2K, on 08/19/2008, -1/+2...The Sailor Scouts are playing in the Olympics?
  • compgeek, on 08/18/2008, -1/+1Congrats to the Williams sisters. I'll be honest though with their dominance in the tennis world there was never any doubt they would win imo. God help me I've followed tennis since I was about 10 lol
  • gquaglia, on 08/19/2008, -1/+1I agree, the Olympics should be for amateurs. When professionals baboons like these two compete, it cheapens the games. I don't care if they win a case of medals, its *****.
  • vannessave, on 08/19/2008, -0/+0Congratulations to them and all winners
  • ilistenisee, on 08/19/2008, -2/+2They just dominate tennis like Phelps does with swimming...
  • ZeeZee2k, on 08/18/2008, -1/+1Calm down, dude, he meant swimming. Cullen Jones won a gold medal in 4x100 m freestyle.
  • tjdegroat, on 08/18/2008, -2/+2... except that Venus lacks both the French and the Australian.
  • kovac9478, on 08/18/2008, -3/+2Woof
  • Turpitude, on 08/19/2008, -1/+0It's not, dummy. If it was, the governing body would not allow professionals to compete (I know I know - China gymnasts - but really). And L2Swallow nub. Especially from the Williams sisters. Simultaneously (preferably).
  • inactive, on 08/19/2008, -2/+1They're about as beautiful as an alpha male silverback's girlfriend.
  • AJoseph, on 08/19/2008, -1/+0photoshopped
