They're playing right now and Serena is ahead 6-0, 5-1.
Thoughts?

p.s. She just won!
If Serena wins gold, will she stand for the US Anthem?

Anyone paying for full coverage including medals presentation?
I've just got plain old NBC.

She'll stand if she wants to keep the gold medal, and the WTS will remain conspicuously silent. Any "disciplinary" action taken against her will blow up in its face far worse than any pedophile court case has. No, the Society will look the other way, Serena will thank Jehovah and the country for the opportunity to represent it in the Games, and everyone will go home happy.

I'm sure you're calling it spot on, Quendi.
As long as she doesn't buy the equivalent of a $.50 Malawian Social Security card, she should be safe from the men in suits.
All WT snarking aside, she played amazingly strong today. Good for you Serena!

Meanwhile the U.S. men's basketball team is in a real dogfight with Lithuania, leading only 55-51 at the half. Is an upset brewing?

In the post-match interview, when asked what it was like to represent her country etc., her answer was long and seemed evasive--nothing about country. But to her credit, among all the "Oh my gosh!" exclamations, I heard not a single "Thank you, Jah!" A lesson learned, perhaps?

I think she just won 3 mins ago ? I don't follow sports but this was CNN so,something big about here was mentioned.

@ Quendi, wish I could see it live. (I'm too cheap.) Let us know how it turns out?
@ gl tirebiter, yeah, she really dodged the question, IMO.
