prhaps shootingstar is talking about gender in-equality in sports.

Serena cusses and acts up and she gets fined $175,000 several years of pay for lot of people....

What about someone like the bad boy of Andre Agassi (sp)... wasn't he a bad boy on the court, throwing temper tantrums, throwing rackets, breaking rackets... didn't he also get fined? and was it comparable to Serena??

And one thing people dance around is the race issue. It's STILL AROUND whether you like it or not. Example: Wasn't Augusta golf club or whatever its official name. didn't they have a bit of problem with Tiger Woods playing there because he IS PART BLACK and part Asian? I don't think they allow "colored" people into their "all white boys club".

TdF and gentleman-ly behavior... LOL There is a certain amount of civility and sportsman conduct to be sure. If you don't follow the tradition, peloton will "kill" you at the next stage.
