I just love how these people giving out death threats feel that they are perfectly within their rights to act that way but the person they are making the threats to are the ones that are in the wrong. What a warped way of looking at the World.

I didn’t see any racist overtones, just putting sown a spoilt brat who should know better. It’s not the first time she has outraged people on the court when she is playing badly.

I don’t see the racist about it but maybe I am naive

I didn’t think it had anything about racism, it was about a professional player having a hissy fit. Bet if it was of any other player, I reckon she would have laughed about it herself.

I am not a fan of this cartoon.

Serena through a tantrum on court she is a professional tennis player and knows better. Also it was out of character for her to behave that way. When I saw the cartoon I didn’t see a racial tone. The cartoonist drew her in what Serena usually wears, her tantrum and her color skin.

All I see is a grown woman having a hissy fit

If you saw the other player, she looks half n half, part Japanese and part white person. And she did have a blonde pony tail, maybe not this blonde, but still blonde

Wasn’t the other player Japanese? Why is she blonde and Western looking?

Absolutely not! Caricatures by nature highlight certain aspects of a person. Serena Williams is a strong black American woman. That should not be considered racist. How else was he supposed to depict her? The outrage has been ridiculous. Her behaviour was apalling, as is Nick Kyrigos’ and others and it is always called out, as it should be. Serena is a superhuman awesome athlete. That does not override bad behaviour. The outrage is horrendous and off-putting. It’s the PC brigade at it again. I’m so glad Mark Knight’s employers stood up for him and showed their support. Clearly the US do not understand caricatures or cartoons. Interesting when that’s where they originated from.

Death treats are never ok.
Cartoonists often pull things out of proportion, joking and ridiculing a situation with a hint of truth in it, it what cartoons are about.

Sexist and could have been toned down a bit……comments from below, HOW is it either?! It’s a caricature, they are over the top. As for sexist, I can’t see that at all

I think it was poor taste, but no one should get threats over it.

  I agree – poor taste – but extreme reaction.

Overreacting much ?!?

The cartoon is very good but the drawing of the tennis player regardless of who the player is could have been toned down a bit.

I don’t see it as racist. I do see it as sexist, though. And it misses the point of what went on.

  How is it sexist? All I see is a sook having a tantrum, no one looks good when having a tantrum. And he’s done a Nick Kyrios caricature too when he had a tanty too

Nope, I see no sexism or racism in this cartoon. As for the Japanese player looking Anglo ???? How? This is a caricature, they exaggerate a persons features. Selena is a big, powerful woman, wearing a tutu, with a smashed racket and a dummy on the ground. Implying she spat the dummy, broke a racket and had a tantrum. Way too PC if you see anything else
