Double Standard

The article I read was about Serena Williams and her acting out during a tennis match. I think that this site really showed all perspectives on how the officials as well as the media treated her and Federer differently although they acted out in the same manner. The article talks about the fact that not only is there a double standard because she is a woman, but also because she is a woman of color. Although yelling profanity was wrong on both ends, the punishment and media attention should have also been the same. There shuold be no difference in the punishments just because one is a male and one is a female. The actions that both players took part in was unacceptable as well as unprofessional. I think that this site did a nice job of showing how there was a double standard for Serena only because she is a woman and that that should not make a difference. Both of these people are in the spotlight because they are athletes that people look up to and follow closely. They both should have been treated the same after their behavior. The fact that Serena had the courage to stand up and tell her fans that she was wrong and apologize showed that she does care about her image and knew that she was in the wrong.
