Serena Williams Outburst Video
Tennis star Serena Williams is claiming she will "learn from her mistakes" after being fined $10,000 by U.S. Open officials for her outburst at the semi-finals. Serena Williams, the sister of fellow tennis star Venus, has not only been fined for her tirade Sunday - but she was fined for $500 for "racket abuse" after losing her temper during her semi-finals match against Kim Clijsters. According to the Associated Press, Serena's outburst was directed towards a line judge. The U.S. Open said Sunday the Grand Slam Committee Administrator has opened an investigation to determine whether Williams' behavior should be considered a "major offense," which can lead to additional penalties.
Last week South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson shouted "You Lie!" at President Obama during his speech to both houses of Congress about health care. There was one good outcome, at least for Rob Miller, who has raised more than $900,000 in his bid for Wilson's seat in 2010. Before Wilson's outburst last week, Miller had about $3,000. Then again, that sort of thing used to happen all the time in D.C. For those who thought we had progressed beyond breaches of decorum, uhh nope.
Then pro tennis player Serena Williams allegedly said "I would kill you" to the line judge at the U.S. Open (she was later fined $10,000 for the outburst and ensuing argument.) And last night, Kanye West came on stage and grabbed the mic from Taylor Swift, who won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video for her song, "You Belong With Me." West said Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video was one of "the best videos of all time! Of all time!"
