Unfortunately we live in a world where women in sports,Switzerland movie 18+ no matter how skilled and celebrated they may be, still have to deal with the occasional side serving of discrimination or objectification.
In a new video for Glamour, an exasperated Serena Williams effectively shuts down a slew of annoying comments by pelting a heckler named Alec with tennis balls.
Just another day of practice.
"I'm doing this for all womenkind, and I'm kind of doing this for me a little too, on the low," Williams says.
"You're really talented—for a girl," is the first remark.
*SMACK
*"You should smile more!"
*SMACK
*And so on and so forth.
This is not the first time Williams has called attention to the questions or comments she's received. In 2015, Williams shut down a reporter who asked her why she wasn't smiling. She did not actually pelt this particular reporter with tennis balls, but regardless, it's exhilarating to hear her candid commentary as she calls out double standards in sports.
In a speech accepting the Sports Illustrated’s 2015 Sportsperson of the Year award, Williams addressed these comments:
I’ve had people look down on me. I’ve had people put me down because I didn’t look like them—I look stronger. I’ve had people look past me because of the color of my skin. I’ve had people overlook me because I was a woman. I had critics say I will never win another grand slam when I was only at number seven and now here I stand today with 21 grand slam titles and I’m still going.
Did you hear that, hecklers? She's still going.
