An Open Letter to Bill Dwyre
Mr. Dwyre,
I agree with you that Ms. Henin played better tennis last night. But I have an idea for you. How about a column on how Ms. Henin receives coaching during a match but receives no sanction and Ms. Williams is sanctioned for reading between games during an earlier match. Remember to include the fact that Henin's actions are against the rules and Williams within the rules. Maybe you might expand on this to the relentless racism inherent in almost every comment made during matches featuring Ms. Williams or her sister. If I were an African American I would not be able to constrain myself to the comments she was able to constrain herself to.
