    Well, I realize that this is not about facts. Someone is irrational. Interesting.

    she definitely seems dominant, and this isnt' a race thing as there are many of her race nad other races that just look more feminine, etc. Just from her body type, and even facial structure its all just so buff, even her sister venus there is no doubt, but serena really i feel like it is so taboo to discuss it but even looking at the front page of espn tennis section she looks like a dude straight up. And she is so much more powerful than the rest on the tour, yes i've seen butch women and field hockey ones, but in terms of even the actual face. As I said , with her sister venus, tehre is no doubt about her. But with serena, i am so tempted to see them do a test like they did with that one olympic racer. Everyone cried foul, but they found out she was born with male organs or something, correct? I am all for freedom socially, but in sport it can be a severe advantage in body type.

    Outside of that she seems the most capable and dominant one with only her standing infront of herself when needing to win(just mentally). But i just can't help to wonder when i see her everytime!

    *arkoe notes it's not ok for ATW to support his fellow German.

    LOL you didn't have a good point to begin with. I do not think she is the greatest ever. But this really destroyed any credibility for you. You think she is not seen as the greatest ever because she is black? Not because she is not even close to having spend the most time at the nr1 position or to having the most GS titles. You are the only one mentioning race in this discussion SJC only used facts.

    All the facts you gave are meaningless, But SJC already adressed that. Also brilliant saying that she would have 20 GS if she didn't get beating by her sister or somebody else. that is like saying Andy Murray would have 8 grands slams in the last 2 years if not for losing to a couple of different players.

    And who cares if she has the strongest weapon in tennis. Steve Nash is the best passer in basketbal (maybe) but nobody would think about him being the greatest ever because he also has a lot of flaws.

    Furthermore saying she would have won so much more if she didn't get injured also doesn't matter. She did get injured. Apperantly she cannot stay healthy playing like that.

    This paragraph (based on the quoted post) is full of much unintentional comedy. And then it closes with a Graf "unfateful" stabbing.

    She wasn't the greatest but I sure loved watching Hingis play.

    Hingis and seles are better players than Serena Williams? That just show your bias. I think women's tennis has evolved in the last twenty years. All these girls now days are huge, and if you aren't it is just hard to compete. I am not going to say Serena is better than graf, but you can't deny how good Serena is.

    I said she and most other DOMINANT black athletes get undeserved hate from non-black fans. I see so many "monkey" comments when reading articles online about her, i just quit going to them. Even American Fans root for european women to to beat her. And your Andy Murray comment holds no weight either, because last i checked Andy Murray is still a fairly young player..UNLIKE SERENA. You think Serena is her prime when she is past it, she just is focused and using expiernce againist these young lions out there today. No player male or female has beaten more #1 ranked players than Serena Williams

    And yea she is GOAT, you didnt even count her doubles success

    Think for a second is their any black athlete that is actually liked in AMERICA. RG3 is RIGHT NOW.. but just wait until he gives the haters or "FAKE" fans(as i like to call them) a reason to tear him down as well.

    Jon Jones MMA Fighter is the most recent.. guy gets a DUI( not a good thing).. people who didnt like him in the first place where already gonna use that againist him, and still are to this day. But other MMA Fighters, and Champions have been charged with battery multiple times. And then Chael Sonnen( the cockiest, flamboyant dude in MMA) all of a sudden has the MMA world on his side. It just takes you back to what Mayweather Jr. said in 2010..."IF I WAS WHITE, I WOULD BE LOVED AND ADORED" Chael Sonnen is proof of that

    Im gonna use an example that you yourself made.... you said Steffi Graf was number 1 for the most weeks ...WHICH IS TRUE.... which applies to Roger Federer both of whom you consider the GOAT in their respective sports.( i myself consider Roger Federer the GOAT). If thats the case then why do so many non-blacks discredit Tiger Woods for being better than Jack when he himself has been #1 the most amount of weeks, and has the stats in his favor that show he was flat out the better GOLFER. You see what i mean

    Phil Ivey to me is a better poker player than Stu Ungar, and the GOAT of poker, but because of his race he is held back to 2nd.

    Look at Rory and how quickly so many are trying to annoit him to be better than Tiger and Jack, its like the only way to pass a GOAT in a white-dominated sport, is to be white yourself. Am i wrong for thinking this?

    They are not better players than Serena Williams

    you have a better argument with Seles in her PRIME...(before the stabbing)

    But then that goes back to my point, of how Graf would get destroyed by a prime Serena Williams. Serena Williams is basically Monica Seles 2.0 with the best serve in history

    Seriously you need to work on your reading. The post you quoted was arguing that Serena is better than Hingis and Seles.

    Serena is the GOAT WTA tennis player, but doesn't care about the sport. She hasn't cared about it since she was 17 dominating the tour. If she would have played as much as Sharapova has, she would have always been #1, aside from injury times.

    When Serena is in shape and has been playing warm up tournaments, there is not a woman who can beat her. Period.

    thx for stating the obvious, and i agree. She seemed more fit againist Vika yesterday, last years Serena seeded 28th beat Vika in the 4th round, but this year Vika finally played up to her potential, i just hope this loss doesnt destroy her. To have a 5-3 lead in the deciding set... and let it slip.

    Serena is playing and beating better players than Steffi Graf herself of course its hypothetical but the talent of these young girls is INSANE

    While this is an interesting discussion, the key question here is whether or not Steffi Graf thinks Matt Schaub is an "elite" quarterback.

    The post you quoted was calling out ATW for saying they were both better...you then respond to that post by saying there is no way they are better. So, you and Air Langhi agreed. But you still tried to argue with him.

    You also did that earlier with ATW when you thought he wrote that others had more power than Serena when he actually wrote that Serena had the power advantage.

    It will help you overall to slow down and really read what is written. Otherwise you will further be written off as nonsensical.

    You really think this? You really think non-blacks don't like ANY black athletes in the United States? You think no white Texan or football fans (for example) like Arian Foster? Andre Johnson? Jonathon Joseph? You think no white people like James, Durant, Wade, Paul, etc.?

    This post of your negates any credibility you might have or are trying to establish.

    I generally root for Serena, but depending on sho she is playing, I may root for the other person (white, non-Americans). Am I racist on those days?

    I admire Federer's greatness and I enjoy watching him play. If I root for him over Donald Young (for example), am I racist?
