In short, Serena Williams is one of the best in the sport. Her record indicates that she may be one of the best female tennis players of all time. But outside of tennis, is she a good role model?

In this video, I dive into the infamous 2018 US Open incident, and what it says about Serena's character, as well as people's willingness to automatically agree with their role model. I hope you enjoy.

  • I’m surprised this video only has 800 views! You deserve more subscribers and this is well edited!
  • I'm not saying sexism doesn't exist in sports but this was unrelated completely

    I didn't think I'd click on this, but I'm glad I did. Your point of view is one I haven't really seen, and one that makes sense. You didn't just blast your opinion out there, you went with what really happened. And this is why I love your videos
  • Amazing video! I can see the amount of work you have put in. You deserve the best!
  • @jawadalam4409
    i watched naomi vs serena live and it made me a naomi fan instantly. while serena is the best female tennis player (given her dominance in an era where competition is tougher and the number of grand slams she has), her character is incredibly controversial and arrogant. compare her to roger, novak, or rafael and you'll see the difference
  • Tbh my role model is probably you the mix between being knowledgeable doing research on stuff and making high quality well done videos and between being some guy that's old but still plays minecraft il probably mainly do politics and other stuff as my knowledge part
  • @nateb4543
    Wow, you dont see coach interviews that close anymore. It sure looked like coaching, but her reaction is how an innocent person would react. Especially of highly competitive people. All in all, she didn't act like a role model

    Wow. I subbed for Minecraft, but coming back for these types of vids. Awesome content these topics are great to cover
  • That’s why role models seem to be better for moral guidance rather than for career aspirations.

    I saw you on mcbeast on minecraft, I used to play mineplex with you around 5-6 years ago, thats pretty cool.

    Future Me Is Serena Williams Actually A Good Role Model? Future me: "SHE IS!!!!!!!"
  • Short answer: No. She is a terrible person and role model. Steffi Graf is the greatest female tennis player of all time and she is the epitome of beauty, class, grace and elegance. She is the perfect role model.
  • did she even know that her coach was signaling from the stands??

    Did you take in to account how many men play tennis compared to women?
