Serena Williams & Sexism in Sports - Between the Scenes | The Daily Show

Aren't you allowed to receive coaching unless it is the last tournament?

shut up Trevor....you're sooo obvious....youre @ss paid for talking sh$t.....

oh stop with your black complex....getting boring af...

The way how you try manipulating clear things is boring. Why are talk about that shit . Sore lose and she was miles way from being professioal fucking idiot
And are a crying baby like her too

You really don't understand tennis

I Will say to all of you when talking about Women in TENNIS, Ask any player who do they want to Beat, and be more like on the Tennis Court?????

So happy to see SERENA living the life of her dreams, she knows very well that there will always be obstacles, doubters, haters, as well as mistakes and setbacks along the way.

SERENA know that with continued hard work , preservance, and self love, Raw Determination and belief there is no limit to what she can STILL achieve going forward!achieve going forward!

today i understood trevor just has to disagree.

When Serena is on she's on....

Just because Serena Lost two Games to Osaka, and just because Serena blew her stack she have a right to do that , and you all know this, Right? You don't have to like Her are agree with her actions , she still have a right to express herself. No matter what happened at the U S Open it will forever be a part of History in the sports world, and just know that Serena will not the the first to have blown her stack, and will not be the last to do it. She has long ago cemented her place in Tennis History Book , and she will be remembered for her greatness from now to Eternity in the Tennis, and Sports History Books.

pff.. you are a idiot Trevor.

SILENCE LIBERAL

Serana isn't a victim she's a brat.

SHE BROKE THE RAKET

Trevor you are a good guy, but you don't understand the rules of tennis (you admit this). First realize the whole purpose of coaches not being allowed to coach their players on the court first..it is a distinct advantage...simple reason...and that is why the rule is in place.

*Complains about the rules of Tennis because they are not like the ones in Football*
Yeah i am sure he knows the rules of Tennis good enough to judge if that was unfair or not!

Sorry Trevor! but certain sports have certain rules! n she broke n over-reacted because she was loosing! u gotta understand that much at least! I thought u donn pick a side! this one clip will ruin ur reputation man! mark my word .. I really love ur show, so don't pick the wrong side.

There's nothing in nature that blooms all year round, so Serena don't expect yourself
to do it either.

Serena says she's not what happened to me, I am what I choose to be...

If you actually understood tennis and looked into it you would know that that behavior is utterly unacceptable. Serena does it constantly and everyone is to afraid to stand up to her because of stuff like this. The umpire for the match is very well known and has a reputation for enforcing the rules and did the exact same thing for other players who are male.

1. Rules are Rules. She and her Coach broke them. Her Coach even admittet afterwards. But instead of accepting this fact, of course its the rules fault, because the are stupid.. shure....
2. After losing another set she broke her raket. this is another clear violation of the rules. of course she has to be punished for that. she's a professional and knows the rules exactly.
3. After over a minute of trash talking to the referee, demanding a apology from him and calling him a thief for doing just his job, she gets her third and last violation of the rules "verbal abuse" wich is totally fine. You cant compare tennis to basketball or baseball because they have different rules.
Then she not only makes this all a racial and sexist thing, she also makes Naomi Osaka feel bad about her win, when she was clearly the better player. the referee is known for his strict enforcment of the rules and also took games from male players. Serena ist just a bad looser.

Serena is a bully, plain and simple. To shield herself with bullshit like "i'm fighting for women's right, I'm a mother" is disgraceful. If a men did this there would be universal (and deserved) condemnation.

What embarrassed Williams might also have been the feeling that, in Ramos’s penalty, she was being disgraced before a young woman who worshiped her, before millions of young people whose adoration sponsors like Nike are wooing. That final was a battle between versions of herself, for how she wants to be seen as a mother, a woman, a legend, a victor, as elegant, honest and true versus the many ways she’d been perceived and, on Saturday, misperceived.
This too shall pass.

Serena own Words...She would like to make one thing clear about Ramos hitting her with the coaching code violation. It wasn't typical. Usually, if an umpire notices a player's coach making suspicious movements (in tennis, coaches are not allowed to, well, coach during the match), he'll simply say something to the player and that's the end of it.

That was where a lot of people don't understand. That's where I was coming from. Like, usually you talk to me, tell me that something's happening, and I'll tell my box, like, whatever you're doing, don't. First, I can't see you-I'm clear on the other side of the court. Second, don't do it. We're here to win or to lose with dignity, and that's how I've always done my career."

To be accused of cheating, and eventually docked a point for it, was an injustice. "That is not right," she told the referee repeatedly. "And you know it. And I know you can't admit it, but you know it. That's not right."

Serena has beat many but does not take away from the Fact that they are no lessor player than she is. It's good that Osaka won, but it does not erase the fact that Serena had it out with the Umpire, the show must and will go on.

Remember Serena Haters, One good season does not make you a champion Duuuh..

A few weeks after Williams was lambasted for her emotional response to Ramos' point deduction, Brett Kavanaugh was Confirmed to the Supreme Court following an angry, unhinged testimony where he cried and called credible assertions of sexual assault a liberal, conspiracy against him, and there was no outcry, Why?

Margaret Court has 24 singles majors, an all-time record. In 1970, Court became the first woman during the open era to win the singles Grand Slam. Serena Williams is the winner of 23 Major singles titles , SERENA has the most slams Open Era record.

There are many Haters, but there are also many who love, and adore Serena. And while Haters hate, Serena will stay focus, and live another day. When she leave Tennis that will surely be a sad day , in Women (Tennis) sports. And long after Serena will have hung her Rackets up there will be so many who will strive to reach her peak in tennis. Many will struggle, fight, have melt down, scream and shout to try their level best to be just like this Tennis Ace.

Just think of how long she stayed Number One,, Her Slams, Serena unfair treatment, with racist, sexism under tones, her being able to be number one in women sports for the last three years , and that includes being off to give birth, get married, and start her recovery process.

Just think of all the other players Serena has played in her storied career.

It’s funny how they vaguely say guys but give no examples of actual discrimination.

Daily Show, what!? I was expecting you to discuss how Serrina tried to use the "I'm fighting for feminism" as an excuse for her bad behavior, and how that's not okay. That victim mentality I'm serious, smh. I see your point in not criticizing her because she was upset. I'm criticizing her becouse all of a sudden her losing the game is because she black, nope I got it wrong, because she's a women? All tennis players are penalized the same way, has been for years. She also demands an apology from the guy she yelled at for doing his job? (Even if it was a questionable call) Ppl make bad calls from time to time but you couldn't cut this guy a break, so when the dude had enough and he gives you your third point, you cry rape?! Oops, I ment cry wolf, becouse women don't falsely cry rape. Even though, that's also another important issue that women dilute. So when there really is a wolf, no one comes to help becouse everyone is over the deceit

Everything wrong here:
1) Tennis is considered a gentle sport, a sport watched and played by the best and richest, all though it has changed over time, the rules are still strict therefore the umpire was only going on the rules, and means if she loses it, its alot more unusual then in team sports
2) since the game is not a *team sport*, they cant coach since it gives unfair info against the opponent, since tennis involves wits against wits, not team v team, therefore her coach was in the wrong and he knew what it would cause for her
3) she was deservedly docked a point for the bracket break, which everyone is as always, she just thinks men dont because they dont make a big deal about it, or only get a warning since its a 1st offense, but it was her 2nd since it was on top of the coaching foul
4) her bad mouthing, calling the umpire a thief, this game is a gentle game as beforehand mentioned, so all obscenities are offensive here, so its a game foul for her 3rd offense, and yes, men do say worse things, but get fouled as well, so again, its the same treatment
4) Serna’s opponent out classes her in anyway, and no matter how much of a scene she caused or the points that were taken away, she looked as if she was going to lose, so give credit please to Ms.Osaka’s feat and not to Serna’s sore-like loss

The coach admitted he was coaching, whether Serena lied about watching him or not, she knows she can’t break her racket without a violation, and called the ref a thief and continued yelling at him, man if I were the ref especially after two violations I would have thrown her out of the game for her yelling at him continuously

she obviously broke the rules. she got what she deserved. I was a big fan of hers for a long time. not anymore. taking this to a sexist place was just desprate and sad.

You clearly knwo very little about tennis...this is a new low fo you Noah

If it would turn out that the devil is a black woman then Trevor Noah would defending her.

I don't agree with you here, Trevor. So, think you're in a game of chess (which needs a lot of focus and surroundings are almost quiet?) and one player out of nowhere starts to burst and scream and throws away his pawns. That wouldn't be acceptable! Similarly, if one sports has certain rules and a way to get carried out then whats wrong with that?
Also, coaches can coach in between the sets but not during one.

no bullshit, this time you're going full retarded, there was absolutely no sexsism in that game no racisism.

What a joke you are Trevor. There are moments where everybody sees the obvious but the journalists are imparcial when talking about the subject. And i respect that. Here you acted very parcial in favor of Serena but even worse, you defended the other side of the obvious. Which made you even more factious. And the obvious is Serena screwed up. So you tried to be funny on a matter where nobody gives you reason.

NO, You are bias . What Serena did was wrong. You actually lose your own argument when you compare tennis to other sports. If your agenda was the headline was different compare to other sports . Its bec tennis is played by two people who are feet apart wth each other. They can’t touch each other unlike basketball. So if there’s a misbehavior its always a big thing. And there’s a reason why coaching is not allowed in tennis. Think about this carefully, This is a 1 vs 1 match, if both of them will rcv coaching how will you see their real talent. They should apply their critical thinking and all their training on how they will win the match and there you will see the talent that they have. Would you be happy in an individual game if you win it because you were receiving coaching all the time? Then who should be awarded in the end if that’s the case? Thats why I respect tennis players bec in every game they rcv all the credits of the match bec they can only depend on theirselves during their game.

I did not know trannies are allowed to participate in womens sporting events.

I love and admire Serena a lot but even I was surprised by her behavior in this game . I think after the warning where she explained her thoughts to the umpire she should have tried to move on or asked for a ' time out' to cool down ( if thats possible in tennis). She's won so many times to be this ruffled by one game - but then again im not a sports person

So late to this party but did no one in these comments watch the whole video?? He didnt say she was right, but rather we should hold men to this same standard. And stop saying upset women do are throwing a tantrum and upset men are just passionate. People are stretching to excuse their misogyny. Do better.

Haters of Serena stop trying to shoot the messenger.

Haters of Serena stop hating the player, and hat the game.

Serena was wrong, just admit it

Is this guy on TV because he is black AND has an English accent? He’s obviously not very funny, that dry boring English humor doesn’t work well here...

Really big difference between collective or singular sports. Also, in any sports if someone is disrespectful or violent they get punished but all sports have different ways to deal with that. I really like the perspective you put some things on but, some of them can only be seen as funny/comedy... Which is the case here

Anchor is moron playing and defending race card comparing, contact sport with Tennis. Angry on court and threatened umpire and called him a thief does race and sex decrease cranial capacity too because it already made US hypocrite and coward.

Watch pew news, Realiable news

People in the comment section really getting offended for Tennis rather than politics.

I just think Serena is a horrible person who is full of herself and doesn't know when to stop. This is like if you are playing in a woman's soccer league with a male ref and he calls a foul on you that you don't agree with so you scream in his face and insult him and think you will get away with it without a yellow card, then when you get a yellow card you say the male ref is sexist

The way Serena acted was horrible! She was crying! That's why they said she had a meltdown! She accused the umpire of being a thief and being sexist, the way she verbally abused the ref is far above anything I've ever seen before and I was horrified.

Naomi Apologizing For Winning
Terrible Audience took her Moment From Her, What's The Point Taking Women's Rights While Insulting another Women.This is the first time I don't Agree with Trevor. All those Penalty have been Imposed On male Players How It's been Linked To Gender Equality?

First of all in tennis breaking their racket is a really bad thing. Also wimbledon has diffrent umpires unlike worse umpires

Noah is doing his job.

The hate for Serena is real, Serena has come from such humble beginnings to reach where she is in the game of Tennis. She is One of the Players who has done very well, and her career Journey is well documented.

You are even more idiot than serena williams

I PERSONALLY THINK U PEOPLE ON HERE ARE MESSED UP. IF U DONT SEE WHAT Noah is saying u are clearly delusional and LIVE IN a mad world. Sports is sports every athlete has a right to voice their frustration. Atleast Serena is real she doesn't pretend to be happy about a decision she believes was wrong. DONT GIVE A FUCK IF Its naomis first grand slam.. If u feel a bad call was made u must adress the issue. U people r so sensitive, plz get the fuck outs here

Oh and I forgot about Serena Slams (23) and she has been number one for a Total of 319 weeks let Serena Fans know when the next player in the open Era reaches 19 weeks as number one, And we know that they did not just give those weeks to Serena she had to earn them with blood, sweat , and tears....

Many who hate on Serena is mad, and bitter because she has put their Favorite player out to pasture. It's not Serena fault that her Dad trained her so well, and most of all how to channel her inner spirits, strength and attitude , which has helped his girls rise to the top of the leader board in Tennis. Serena and Venus isn't in the top ten , and yet they are talked about , and raked over the coals more than most. And to those who are whining, and in pain because the Williams has been on the scenes why aren't you bitter and pressed about the top ten players. Oh that's right Osaka is in the top ten. Osaka need to do a few things First, like become Number one and be able to hold that spot for some weeks and months, just like Serena has been able to do and then you Osaka Fans can brag Openly about her greatness.

Serena name will be for ever etched in cement long after all of her haters has bitten the dust, and gotten to old to even remember her name or even remember tennis. Less hope that many others can strive hard to be just as great as Serena has been. At least they will never know how hard a time Serena has had in her career to get to where she is. None of the other players has had to prove themselves, and let the masses know that even though you are a black woman you can still Excel to new heights that you never dreamed was possible for you.

To the Serena Many haters read them and weep....
www.wtatennis.com/news/serena-hits-250-weeks-no1

and a word to the wise they didn't give her those weeks Serena Earned them,,,,

Serena learned Early on that by standing tall against "All Odds" you can achieve beyond your wildest dreams that dreams can come true if you work hard at it. Osaka is a good player, and well on her way, but by winning two games against Serena that will not make her a instance GOAT, You have to win more than 2 tennis matches against Serena to become a Tennis Ace. Perhaps Osaka Should keep doing good , and try to make it to become number one, like Halep is right now , why don't Osaka try to be number One first, and then move on up the ladder of progression. Just because She beat Serena that don't make her number one just yet.

Hands down Serena has traveled many miles by keeping her focus on the pathway ahead of her, and she learned very early on how to tune out racism, sexism and trash talk.

Serena is the G O A T, and a Tennis Player will have miles , and miles , not to mention years, and years to go before reaching Serena Status.

...Just think of all the other players Serena has played in her storied career. Just think of how long she stayed Number One, Her Slams, Serena unfair treatment, with racist, sexism under tones, her being able to be number one in women sports for the last three years , and that includes being off to give birth, get married, and start her recovery process. There are many Haters, but there are also many who love, and adore Serena. And while Haters hate, Serena will stay focus, and live another day. When she leave Tennis that will surely be a sad day , in Women (Tennis) sports. And long after Serena will have hung her Rackets up there will be so many who will strive to reach her peak in tennis. Many will struggle, fight, have melt down, scream and shout to try their level best to be just like this Tennis Ace deal with it or get lost.

A bit late but... Is it just me or Pewds covered this news better with more context...

Excellent point. Coaches coach not the same as giving answers on a test. Special people will try to find any reason to dislike this guy. Shameful. He wasn't saying she was right in her actions. He simply made the argument that in most SPORTS "tantrums", arguing, or fighting sometimes does not hurt the player in the same way like tennis. Why is that when this game gets just as passionate?

There's that H word again referring to women. Hysterical! Oh God! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💝😱

I like Trevor noah, but i feel he isnt acurately exposing what went down, in order to fit his narrative. I dont understand the "men are passionate" and "serena had a meltdown" insinuation also. We have all seen Male players lose their temper; they yell they push they get pissed, and they move on. You dont see them keep harassing the referee over and over with "thief", "you owe me an apology", " you will never be my referee again" , and even "I am a mother/father, i dont do that", and this over the course of several minutes. This is far from your average sports argument, and i think meltdown is a completely fair statement for someone who was losing the final on her hometurf, and kept harassing the refereee after the several warnings.
Again, i feel Trevor has barely watched the full event, and just saw the headlines.
In future, will take his comments about events i dont know about with a grain of salt

Right on Trevor!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕

why is the end card pic of Trevor so white cuz damn, it's like the lighting vacuumed his melanin

I watch sports. I play sports. I know lots of people that play sports. But I would never throw a tantrum like that. And I have never seen anyone throw a tantrum like that over sports older than 8 years old. She straight ruined the US open, after she clearly violated the rules, and blamed it on sexism. This isn't sexist, it's just a violation of the rules, that was treated fairly. And by throwing this tantrum Serena ruined what should have been a great moment for Japanese tennis and Osaka's career.

Read the rules first, plz.

It's fun to watch Serena, she should throw more tantrums

No offenses but analogy is wrong, what if LeBron punctures a ball or throw it outside the court? Every sports has its own different culture. So somethings accepted in one game might be absurd in other.

Lol look at those dislikes! This Trevor Noah guy is full of shit.

I disagree with Trevor. Ever since he took over TDS, it's become a pro black show. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but he's not being fair in the news and facts.
The umpire called it according to the rules. No one can deny that. The point of the discussion is what Serena said. I didn't follow up on this, but I hope she got heavily fined or suspended. Passion for the game is 1 thing, bringing up feminist and racial shit is another thing. Never liked her in any way

very freaking biased and untrue noah... nobody gets a pass if you argue for that long and break the racquet.. absolutely disagree with you..so unliking the video

UPDATE (10/24): While details on a U.S. launch for Serena Williams' "Queen" Off-White x Nike Blazers remain up in the air, the sneakers have been confirmed to drop via Canadian retailer Ssense tomorrow, Oct. 25. Tomorrow: @serenawilliams x @OffWht x @Nike Blazers.
Serena keep right on doing you.

Fuck sake people in the comment section are more worried about Tennis rules than election rules.

mr trevor, if you knew a little more about sports, there have been worse meltdowns and 'tempers flaring' in the nba, mlb, epl.... and they have also been given fines, sanctions and bans...

Serena was wrong, but it is a bit odd that the coach can't coach his/her player during a match. That is odd to me. If anyone plays tennis or watches a lot of tennis please explain this

I think that Serena Williams called out the wrong ism's. Serena Williams should have said it was RACISM. Not SEXISM. To me Serena was SERIOUSLY setup by HER coach & The POWERS at BE that controls The sport of Tennis. I mean THINK about it for a SERIOUS moment. Serena is trying to SETUP and make HISTORY. And all of a Sutton........ The Empire calls a BULLSHIT penalty on Serena Williams for cheating. I'm like GET the HELL outta HERE.

Sloane Stephens came out on top in a match between the two most recent US Open champions. The 2017 champion beat Naomi Osaka 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 on Monday, 10/22/18 at the WTA Finals,,, the season-ending tournament for the top eight players in the world.
Both players are making their debut appearances at the tournament, but Stephens was more composed while Osaka, who became the first Japanese player to win a grand slam title last month in New York, never seemed comfortable. You Win some , and you lose some, Just ask Serena.

You never say a man athlete had a meltdown? When Cristiano Ronaldo started crying after being sent off by the ref in an unfair call guess what the press said? And what Serena did wasnt a simple argument, she lost her mind indeed. She not only started crying, insulting the ref, making psychological blackmail by mentioning her daughter but also bringing up the feminist card as a weapon. I am completely feminist but in this case she made a fuss and made her opponent (who was also a woman) who had a brilliant match look irrelevant

Correction: we never say that about Football and Basketball players. You know who we DO say it about? FREAKING TENNIS PLAYERS. It's a different sport. You think people talking about her actions is about sex? Here's an idea: go look up John McEnroe and how people talked about HIM. Spoiler alert: same fucking thing. Because what's common in Basketball is almost unheard of in Tennis.
But hey, it involved a woman; so lets just all scream sexism because Victim Culture.

Hai hai hai, wena, you stretching here

Nice to see justification of sympathizers...
No mention of how she wronged the winner ahh? That was the real issue.. #IntellectualDeflection

It’s not that she’s a woman, it’s just that tennis is such a boring game that they’re using drastic language to make it seem interesting

He said she was wrong. He also said tennis players said this freak out is normal from all the players. But they don't punished. His point was that they should get punished as well as Serena.....the real issue is Americans don't watch tennis. Don't know tennis culture. But know Serena and have an opinion about her. Is it because she's the only tennis player they know or is it because she's a black woman?

Comment section acting like they watch tennis. It's a very European sport and they allow freak outs from athletes Americans aren't used to.

based on the woke comments
hes only standing up for serena because she was black
black powa! only black lives matter

come on she couldn't see the coach that's next level denial
