The two-faced rich bitches.


Yesterday I wrote about the anti-Semitic tennis tournament in Dubai that has banned Israeli Shahar Peer from their event.


I wrote about the hypocricy of the world's leading female tennis stars who cluck sympathetically at Shahar but still head for the Arab state in search of fame and fortune.


I asked the question what if the ban had been against black athletes such as the Williams sisters?

Would the world have gotten away with a sympathic nod to the two black sports women and allowed the show to go on had tournament organisers of a heavily sponsored sports meeting declared that they wanted an all-white event?

I doubt it.


Had this sort of thing happened at the Dubai tennis event there would have been an enormous international outcry about the racial discrimination of the UAE and an instant boycott of their sporting calendar?


This would be right and proper. Why is this not happening now with Shahar Peer?


Now come the news that Venus Williams is showing more sympathy for the sponsors of the Arab tennis match than one of her fellow players.


In a bout of confused thinking she said, "There are so many other people involved. Sponsors are important to us. We wouldn't be here without sponsors. We can't let sponsors down.
Whatever we do, we need to do as a team - players, sponsors, tour and whoever - and not all break off in one direction. We are team players."


I'm still trying to get my head around that statement. Let me get this right, Venus. If the organisers of a major event with huge sponsorship decide to ban you then it's OK for the other players to say sorry but we're going. After all, can't let the sponsors down.."


She went on, "I have to look at the bigger picture. The big picture is that Shahar Peer didn't get a chance to play, but making an immediate decision we also have to look at sponsors, fans and everyone who has invested a lot in the tournament. I think there are rules and protocols as to how you can proceed."


By the way, Venus Williams sits on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Players' Council. As such she represents and makes decisions for women tennis players.

She could have led a boycott of the Islamic and Anti-Semitic tournament and set an example to the world of sport.


Instead of using her role that all players stand united she chose to say, SHOW ME THE MONEY!"


Dubai epitomises a world where Jews are getting kicked in the balls (in Dubai, it's tennis balls) by Muslims whose racist actions are being appeased and, thereby, supported, by non-Muslims.

I would have once called them Christians but they seem to have abandoned their religion as well as their principles.


In other words, Venus Williams and the other tennis stars support, by their participation, a JUDENREIN tennis event to protect their sponsors.


If I may use the expression of calling a spade a spade without being accused of racism, the words and deeds of Venus Williams and all the other tennis players supports Anti-Semitism.
