Russian official banned for one year from Tennis
« on: October 19, 2014, 10:32:57 AM »
In yet another example of the gap between Russia and the rest of the World a Russian official was banned from the sport of tennis after insulting the Williams sisters and saying they looked like the "Williams brothers".  He claims that he does not understand the ban (obtuse -- annoyingly insensitive and witless).  What a surprise.

Serena Williams fires back and states that she feels the ban is correct, as his comments were "bullying; sexist and racist".

I agree.  If Russians want to be a part of the fraternal group of nations they have a long way to go.
