Jason Whitlock’s tirade against Serena Williams

Talk about some serious hate and proud of it. Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock is doing some serious hating on Wimbledon Womens Champion Serena Williams.

In Jason’s eyes Serena is too much of an underachiever and just plain fat.  Yes Jason “I can eat multiple happy meals in one sitting” Whitlock is calling Serena fat.  Go figure.  jason_whitlock

Serena could be the best ever, but …

In addition to talking about Roger Federer and his record-breaking 15th Grand Slam title, we should also be celebrating Serena Williams and her assault on Margaret Court’s record.

The problem is, even after knocking off her sister in Saturday’s Wimbledon singles final, Serena isn’t anywhere close to Court’s 24 Grand Slam singles titles.

At age 27 — the same age as Federer — Serena owns just half as many major titles (11) as Steffi Graf, the greatest women’s player of all time. That’s a terrible shame.

With a reduction in glut, a little less butt and a smidgen more guts, Serena Williams would easily be as big as Michael Jackson, dwarf Tiger Woods and take a run at Rosa Parks.

You can call me unfair. You can even scream that I’m sexist.

But there’s an inescapable truth about Serena Williams: She’s an underachiever.

And all the people making excuses for Serena and rationalizing her failure to totally dominate women’s tennis are the very people uninterested in seeing women rise to a level of equality with men.

Serena Williams has all the ingredients to be Michael Jordan, Jim Brown and Muhammad Ali rolled into one made-for-TV package. She is quite possibly the most gifted female athlete in our lifetime.

Unfortunately for us, she lacks the courage to fulfill her destiny.

She’d rather eat, half-ass her way through non-major tournaments and complain she’s not getting the respect her 11-major-championships résumé demands.

She complains about being ranked No. 2 in the world when she’s not bitching on Twitter or her blog about new rules that forbid Wimbledon players from eating in the locker room.

Seriously, how else can Serena fill out her size 16 shorts without grazing at her stall between matches?

He uses the excuse that he’s a sports writer for his fatness but says that Serena is just lazy and refuses to commit to a training regimen.

Think about it. At 5-foot-9, 145 pounds, Serena would be unstoppable on the court, on the cover of every magazine still in circulation and downloaded on the Internet three times more often than Anna Kournikova.

Instead, Serena is arguably pushing 175 pounds, content playing hard only in the major tournaments, happy to be photographed on dates with pro athletes and proud to serve as a role model for women with oversized back packs.

So Serena should be like Anna Kournikova.  Miss Tennis Celebrity, who was an internet sensation and appeared in numerous mens magazines, yet never won a Singles Grand Slam title.  But Serena’s fat and underachieving attitude has caused her to only win eleven Singles Grand Slam titles.  To Jason and men like him it’s all about looks.

Serena may not be perfect. And no, she’s not in the same league as Steffi Graff.   But that doesn’t make her an underchiever.  Serena, like her big sis Venus, has a life outside playing tennis.  She won’t be playing tennis forever. Serena has a backup plan and that’s a good thing.

And big booty sistas?  Don’t bother writing this fool cause he’ll just delete your email.
