As you may know, Serena went nuts over a foot fault call by a referee, and chewed her out. The referee did make a bad call, but athletes should be respectful of the officials.
Her tirade went on for about 60 seconds. Video of Serena's tirade. While her actions were inexcusable, at least it was understandable. The US Open prize money for 1st place is $1.6 million, plus a new Lexus.
On the other hand, I've seen much worse at 12U rec league softball games--where I believe the amount of money at stake is much less than $1.6 million.
