Except to misinterpret someone is not a crime, it's just human error. A gesture like kneeling is likely to invite misinterpretation due to its ambiguity.

Rape IS a crime.

I'm mostly amused at how conservatives are so fucking outraged about one of the tamest protest movements I have ever seen.
It looks like what they have done has worked far better than anyone expected.

Anyway, it sounds like Republicans are buying Nikes to cut them up or burn them. Their sales have gone up by 31%. Their current market cap at 133B is an all-time high.

So in a game where your expected to act in a proper civilized manner (much like life in general), she's the worst offender of all time, and she expects people to listen to her? That's like saying the worst most vile criminal in the world is fighting for human rights, so we should all listen to them with our undivided attention. The villain obviously knows best.

If your looking to point out how unfair things are, being the best at being the worst is not how you go about it. Complaining about those white men who get away with everything, all 9 of them, makes waaaay too much sense when she's number 1.  LOL

Where are the blue eyes in that cartoon? Naomi also has a blonde ponytail in real life, Serena is huge and she also has big lips (These little facts that you ignore show me your bias immediately)

That cartoon is a caricature, all features are exaggerated, your deliberately blowing this out to suit your agenda, which will only backfire on race relations, everyone should be fair game for satire, I find you very disingenuous and will not engage with you further  

Some of his other art, one of Amanda Vanstone an Australian politician, he has done our past Prime Minister of Australia  with huge ears to exaggerate his features, no one blinked an eye, he has many more examples, even of Australian tennis players with hugely exaggerated features   

Don't just assume your way through life  

Potential for misunderstanding is everywhere hence the need for thorough clarity.

I'm not sure it's Republicans who are buying Nikes and I don't think Nike is foolish enough to not understand who their market is.

"Remember that "don't protest like that" picture I posted?  Here you are telling them how to protest."

>I disagree but for the sake of argument, let's say I did just tell them how to protest. Was there something wrong with the way I told them how to protest? Did I deny them six different ways to voice their grievances like in the picture you posted?

"But when they do protest like that, they still get told not to do that."

>I suggest they learn to ignore unreasonable demands or better yet, learn how to respond to unreasonable demands much like Dr. King learned to ignore/respond to some of his detractors.

"First several entries in a Google search for "Protest blocking streets" are all about "don't protest that way"."

>That makes some sense. What if an ambulance, police car, or fire truck is trying to get through to an emergency situation but traffic caused by protestors blocking streets hold them up?

"That same year as your Dr. King picture above, the police water cannoned the protestors as he led them in the streets in Montgomery, Alabama."

>And I recall it winning the protestors support from the public.

"Y'all won't be happy unless they protest in a way that isn't seen or heard."

>Y'all? I'm only one person, who is this "y'all"?

I don't know if she's the worst offender, just that the list has her at number 1. Perhaps her getting penalized recently had nothing to do with her being a woman or being black and just had to do with her being Serena Williams?..

I don't know, honestly. I don't follow tennis...

WTF, the cartoon doesn't even closely resemble Serena. How dare they draw such a hideous looking spectacle and try and pass it off as a caricature. They literally set out to make it as grotesque as possible and completely failed at conveying the point. "Oh the caricature has big lips, therefore it represents Serena" Are you KIDDING me?!?! 

Is this a joke? Yes it does resemble her in caricature, her behaviour at the tennis was grotesque and the cartoon conveys that grotesque spoilt brat behaviour beautifully, btw Serena does have big lips, white washing that fact really just shows your bias    

Amanda Vanstone's tiny lips are also displayed here, not sure anyone spat the dummy over that :)

Amanda Vanstone's caricature face actually resembles her REAL face albeit enlarged. Not sure if you're suffering from an extreme astigmatism, or if it's willful ignorance, but Serena's caricature looks nothing like her. They honestly tried to make her look beastly, which is disgusting. Sure she could've behaved better deing the US Open final, but to dehumanize her is way over the top. 

Your splitting hairs to suit your viewpoint, go and check Mark Knights work yourself if you can be bothered 

I see it as recognisably Serena at her worst, her behaviour was dehumanising and over the top, ever seen a 3 year old have a tantrum, it's not pretty, I guess the caricature captured that, she doesn't deserve any sympathy after her dreadful display, the Umpire and Naomi on the other hand do  

Also the Booing crowd was a disgrace and very upsetting for Naomi, all supporting Serena's bad behaviour, it was like watch a pack of dogs attacking something, all jumping in to defend the pack leader, hope your not one of those   

Serena at her worst? The hyperbole is so intense this week it's causing amnesia. What about the 2009 debacle? That was exponentially worse as evidenced by her $92,000 fine by the USTA in 2009 vs the $17,000 for Saturday's events.

Anyhoo, it's quite comical that one group of people can be offended by Serena's meltdown this past Saturday yet can easily turn a blind eye to equally offensive illustrations at her expense. Multiple parties are guilty of outrage culture, not just leftists, feminists, civil rights activists, etc;
