A cartoon published in Australia’s Herald Sun of Serena Williams at the U.S. Open over the weekend is causing an uproar, with public figures like J.K. Rowling slamming the drawing for being “racist” and “sexist.”
“Well done on reducing one of the greatest sportswomen alive to racist and sexist tropes and turning a second great sportswoman into a faceless prop,” Rowling tweeted on Monday.
Kathy Griffin also voiced her opinion about the cartoon, tweeting, “Hey @Knightcartoons just change your name to Kkk Cartoons. Racist piece of s—!”

“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski became the target of online outrage after she criticized tennis star Serena Williams’ on-court behavior during Saturday’s U.S. Open final loss to Japan’s Naomi Osaka.
“I’m really getting sick of the racial insensitivity,” one commenter wrote after Brzezinski weighed in on the matter Monday, noting the moment Williams threw her racket onto the ground during the match and received one of three penalties from chair umpire Carlos Ramos.
“Personally, I don’t think that’s becoming, whether a man does it or a woman does it,” Brzezinski said.

Some experts said the ump overplayed his hand, meanwhile many online detractors suggested the calls against the African-American tennis pro stemmed from racial insensitivity or even sexism.

Serena Williams had an epic meltdown live on ESPN at the Us Open final, shouting at the chair umpire over a penalty and eventually spiraling into a rage that led to a larger game penalty, which resulted in a massive upset loss. It marked the third time in Williams’s Us Open career that her anger led to an eventual defeat.
The penalties helped 20-year-old Naomi Osaka pull off an improbable upset of one of the dominant players in women’s tennis history. Osaka won 6-2 in the first set and started strong in the second. But that’s when chair umpire Carlos Ramos noticed Williams’s coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, making gestures toward his player. He assessed what’s called a coaching warning, which carries a point penalty.
Williams wasn’t having it. Her spiraling anger at the call, most of it seemingly at the notion that she would cheat,...
