Australia 9 - Serena Williams Foot Fault in Us Open 2009 semi final Vs Kim Clijsters

This is the coverage of Serena Williams' foot fault and disqualification from Channel 9 Australia. It is interesting to see the difference in perspective of the commentators and the universal shock that someone would call a foot fault at that point in a major tournament semi-final.

This is why I hate Serena Williams.

There's only on idiot I see here. Whether they're called that close or not on a regular basis is immaterial, it's a foot fault. A player slightly off side in soccer or a ball slightly passed forward in rugby makes little difference but rules are rules. A line judge doing her job where others fail doesn't need to be threatened to have a ball shoved down her 'fucking neck' by a pissy little bitch. Maybe her god Jehovah told her to do it!!!

I agree. Stupid Chinese cunt. And you gotta love all these pussy nerds going "It is unacceptable to threaten physical violence". Oh shut the fuck up you nerds, like Serena was actually going to kill her or something. Lastly, I love how the shitty TV company doesn't have a camera that actually shows us a good angle of where her foot was.

and you like a person with horrible attitudes towards a linesman? OK I have nothing to say then since you are using offensive language yourself anyway

[naloma blaloma]

She hates you too, Fucking nobody !

[MyCoolMac]

Suspicious because it is rare, not suspicious because foot faults are mostly not called. It is very rare to make a foot fault.

They were playing in front of snakes sssssssshhhhhh 0:18

[Joseph Byrn]

If it's against the rules, are linesman supposed to call it? Is it against the rules or not?

[lflsahfjsaf]

Yes she makes history, but that does not make I have to like her because she has bad sportsmanship, plain and simple

[vlovesrafa]

Keep on hating as she keeps on making history!

Seriously that Chinese woman should know better than to feel scared. If you're scared of threats and of balls coming at you, don't be a fucking line judge. Also get someone who can see properly. I'm not racist, I'm Asian.
