Serena Williams meltdown

Did you watch the whole thing? Most of the time when Williams was abusing him the umpire just nodded and took it on the chin. He did nothing to inflame the situation. But she wouldn't leave it alone. She kept turning back to him and starting up again, not just complaining about the penalties but repeatedly demanding an apology. I don't believe there's anything more the umpire could have done when she was behaving so appallingly.
Yep; this is the wrong incident for women and feminists to pick if they are seeking to highlight sexism in sport. It is a real issue but Williams attempt to conflate her tantrim with sexism is disgraceful.
