I don't know anything about pro tennis to understand if the $175,000US fine is reasonable against tennis player, Serena Williams for her cussing, unsportsmanlike behaviour on the court. Is it because in pro tennis there's a higher level of sportsmanlike behaviour vs. pro hockey???
Don't agree with any paid pro or even amateur athlete being threatening, cussing..but it seems like hypocrisy where in pro hockey, surely there's alot of cussing, violence...brawls more often. 'Course it's been ages since I've watched pro hockey regularily.
