I saw this picture and was floored! I actually think Venus has on a brown jump suit underneath this but this is NOT a good look for black women at this tournament.

The U.S. Open Administrator ruled today that Serena Williams would be fined $82,500 for blowing up and getting angry over a call with a line judge at The U.S. Open. She could also face being banned from that tournament if she has any type of outburst like that over the course of the next two years. The fine is the largest fine in U.S. Open history and double that of the next largest fine.
This comes on the heels of Serena Williams launching her book and winning Woman Of The Year Awards by Glamour Magazine. If Serena has another major offense in any Grand Slam tournament, she will be fined $175,000. Serena Williams is an 11 Time Grand Slam singles tournament winner.

I’m so glad Serena’s sponsors still believe in her and did not judge her over this U.S. Open debacle and argument with the line judge. Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe the judge didn’t see something and maybe Serena had a bad day.
Awesome news! United States African American tennis star Serena Williams inks a huge deal to appear in ads for Tampax. Procter and Gamble is the corporation behind the ad and they are featuring Serena Williams in a number of video and print ads where Serena will be depicting beating Mother Nature in a game of tennis.
Business mogul Serena Williams
I’m so glad Serena’s sponsors still believe in her and did not judge her over this U.S. Open debacle and argument with the line judge. Everyone makes mistakes. Maybe the judge didn’t see something and maybe Serena had a bad day. There’s a lot of tension playing in high level tournaments such as the U.S. Open and emotions are on fire. Back in the day, John McEnroe was on fire and used to routinely yell at judges like he owned them. He rarely got penalized especially when match point and the game was on the line.
Serena has not lost any endorsement deals from her other sponsors that include Nike and Kraft and they publicly supported her position on the line judge matter. We all know people get mad and say things in anger that they didn’t mean. In no way would Serena shove a ball down the line judge’s throat. I’m glad to see she can put this behind her and move on. She’s great for Tampax and Procter and Gamble is an excellent sponsor to have. It also helps that Ms. Williams is also on the home shopping channel selling product and is visible not only in tennis but in business as well. Serena has captured the essence of what this blog is all about: passive income. Black business enterprises and black athletes must continue to harness passive income and not be reduced to being broke and losing all monies after the playing days are done.
