Serena Williams ESPN Mag Body Issue

UPDATE:

While we may have all loved Serena’s stripdown for ESPN Magazine, the ITA (International Tennis Federation) is not happy with the message it sends. Serena may be fined up to $500,000 and stripped of her spot in the 2010 Australian Open. (Bossip)

“Serena & Others Go Naked For ESPN Magazine”

ESPN Magazine is giving the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue a run for its money by featuring naked athletes on the cover and inside the pages of the upcoming “Body Issue.”

There are going to be six covers, and tennis star Serena Williams, the NBA’s Dwight Howard, and the NFL’s Adrian Peterson are among the 30-plus athletes posing nude or semi-nude within the mags pages.

Inside, you’ll see athletes on the field and off, in the operating room during knee surgery, and in a specially-titled section “Bodies We Want.”

See some other celebs who have tastefully posed nude for a cause:

    okay so my question is…if it was okay for her to do it in 2007 y isn’t it okay for her to do in now in 2009? Just asking. And to add on…She do not pick the cover…SIM picks the cover. Yes, she knows that it will be either a semi-nude or completely nude cover but the models do not pic the covers.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Divaatash/ Divaatash

    Whoa Mama lolllllll, OH please , Serena is a diva , the tennis association is retarted, they will say anything or do anything to try and get rid of her…….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MakeYouMoan/ MakeYouMoan

    Damn, am I the only one who sees this whole suing fiasco for what it REALLY is?!?! There’s a movement to keep her from winning any more Grand Slam tournaments. Sure, she was losing the US Open when she blew her top. But to make that obviously WRONG call at the critical juncture of the match? Come on! And now, the ITA is talking about barring her from the Australian Open. Is there a conduct code we don’t know about in women’s tennis? What “message” do they think she’s sending? I bet they wouldnt say anything if she was a fully clothed video hoe. Mark my words, people. Serena is hands down the best women’s tennis player in the world and EVERYONE knows it. They can’t stop her on the court, so they’re trying to keep her off of it altogether. Sure she was naked, but the shot was done in good taste, and she looks beautiful. She’s not the first to do it, won’t be the last, and I hope she wins every Grand Slam from now till she retires.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Divaatash/ Divaatash

    And since where were people so self conscious about nudity? I see some from of nudity on on regular ty like in these pictures the athletes have taken.. especially music videos…. oh please save that for Operah , if your going to talk down upon Serena like that they make sure you do that with the the millions of other people that have done that on tv….

    Those blonde haired and blue eyed white girls that play tennis have done far less tasteful covers and spreads than this. They will try to find any way they can to strip a black person of anything that we have earned. WE all know that the reason behind their actions has nothing to do with this very beautiful and tasteful magazine cover. What is she showing: a damn knee cap?!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Little_Magic/ Little_Magic

    I think I smell some “Hateration”. Serena looks GOOD in those pictures. The two I saw were very tasteful. She is a beautiful lady coming into womanhood. Serena is “Women’s Tennis”. Please they need to be happy she still has the desire to play tennis without her and Venice, why would majority of us watch it….Yeah, stop trippin.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kountry_Mayne/ Kountry_Mayne

    ok first off they because their sport is being dominated by two black women. Second i really dont understand why espn would want to post pictures of nude athletes anyways. the whole idea is dumb. Its like an espn playboy magazine but then again each individual had the option to choose not to take these kinds of photos and keep their dignity. But why are they trying to sue her for ? Does it say anywhere in the contract that their athletes cannot take photos without clothes on while playing in their tennis league? Or maybe she didnt read the fine print. Im sure they will come up with a doc**ent to win that little chump change back from her since the two sisters practically could own that entire league.

    Matthew 24
    1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
    2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
    3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

    ((( The disciples understood that Jesus was talking about the Futrue the endtime which is what we seeing right now before our eyes if you do have eyes to understand whats going to happen)))

    Matthew24:4-51
    4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
    5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

    (((See what Jesus just said? He said watch out from those calling themselves Christian because they never keep the Ten commandment thats going to get you into the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you know when you go to chruch on Sunday, you worship Satan , not just that but you worship the Sun god.Do you know that Saturday the 7th day(Sabbath) is the True Worship day for Jesus?Then you have these fake Sunday Pastor lying to your face while taken your rent or bill money away before you go into the Lake of Fire. I kin you not , when you watch these fake SundayPastor out there or on T.V notice that they never open their bible to to show you, but lying to your face about everything that has nothing to do with the word of God. Then you have some fake Pastors out there too calling themselves Jesus on T.V. That what Jesus meant when He say watch out for those they say I am Christ. But I will show you more from the bible. Just watch out for those fake pastors that will Jesus you to death and they never tell you the true from the bible. But they rather tell yous lies)))

    Matthew24:6-51
    6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
    7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
    8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    ((( Now you see the weak small Counties like North Korea noe got nukes and talking about boming the U.S and Iran Got some big stuff. And all these small countise raising up big with firing arms and talkinf big stuff.. Then you have this swine ful out there which came from the goverment ad planng one take you to jail because you wont take the H1N1 shots.. You know the people who made the H1N1 wont even take the shot. That sould told you some right there. It going to get worster that that before the Great Tribulation)))

    Matthew24:9-51
    9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
    10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

    ((( Now watch when you tell somebody who being going to church on Sunday and you Know that Sabbath which is Saturday is the 7th on the week , and a true worship day. That Sunday going Church boy or girl will try they best to kill you or make you look bad.))))

    Matthew24:11-51
    11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
    12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

    ((( Look what is going on with the people now days. If you look at a perosn in a wrong way ,you will get kill. Look what is going on everyday on the news and around you now. Then these fake Sunday Pastor(Devil Worshiper) dont even care about people who needs help and living a dream life while you or somebody else getting throwing out of their home because these fake pastor talk you into getting all your life saving to them and now somebody is living in the street stilling believing the lie thinking maybe i didnt give enough and that why i,m on the street.. then it going to get to the point that your own family member will hate you once you tell them about the truth from the bible not from T.D Fakes.)))

    Matthew24:13
    13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

    (((Guess what? You not save to you go though Great Tribulation frist and die for Christ because you love Him and Keep His Commadments till Jesus returns. But If you be so bless enough once God find out the you die for Him and keeping the Commandment and you didnt take the make of the beast. Gues what now? Now you saved from Gods wrath. That is the mean of save when you endure to the end wha tChrist Jesus was talking about .)))

    Matthew24:14-51
    14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
    15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

    ((( This is the part that we all have to be on the look out for. We going to fine out about the Adomination of Desolation. Now Jesus telling us to go back to the Old Testament and read the book of Daniel to find out about this Adomination of Desolation.)))

    Daniel7:1-8

    In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the matters.
    Dan 7:2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
    Dan 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
    Dan 7:4 The first [was] like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
    Dan 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and [it had] three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
    Dan 7:6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
    Dan 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it [was] diverse from all the beasts that [were] before it; and it had ten horns.
    Dan 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things .

    (((The first beast the lion with eagle’s wing’s represents the Babylon doing the time of King Nebuchadnezzar to his son King Belshazzar time , and were the frist Genitle Kings who ruled in this world from 605 to 562 B.C.

    The 2nd beast is the bear with three rib on his mouth represents Medo Persia from Darius the Mede to Darius III, the Persian which is known today as Russia

    The 3nd beast the leopard represents the Greeks empire.The fiur heads on this leopard represents the same four generals that inherited the kingdom.

    The 4th beast represents Rome. The head represents all the emperors of Rome from Octavian to Romulus Agustalus. The (10) horns represents the menthat tried to restore Rome after its fall..

    The fourth beast was dresdful and terrible and ten horns and was different from all the other beast before it. In Daniel7:7-8, this beast also had another little horn that rose plucked up three of the first horns.

    This little represents all the religious leaders from the first one to the coming of Jesus.

    Before we can even discuss the ten horns on this beasts , and the little horn, before which three of the first ten were destroyed, we must identify the head on which the horns sets,and the beast itself. This beast , the Roman empire, first put the Italian peninsula in order by waging war against the other communities that had settled on it, most of which had their own cultures and laws. The largest and most organized tribe, other than the Roman townships, were the Samnities. As the Romans continued their wars of expansion against the smaller communities, they would have minor clashes with the Smnities from time to time however , no major battles developed from them.

    Finally the Romans captured Naples, and the Samnities stuck back. War ensued. There were defeats and victories for both sides.Long, hard campaigns and truces did not last. Most of the smaller tribes in the mountainous areas of the peninsular Italy, sided with the Samnities, as did many emies to the Greek city-states along the coast. The tribe of Southernn Italy encombined force with the Etruscans and with the Gauls of Northern Italy.
    By 290 B.C., the Samnities had been defeated, then the Etruscans, and later the Gauls.

    Most of the Greek city-states in the peninsula were brought into the Roman state, some as subjects, other as allies. After a few more battles, and even two defeats in 280 B.C., the Romans finally prevailed. They quickly subjugated all the remaining independent communities. The entire Italian peninsula was now a confederation including about two hundred autonomous states, among which Rome held supreme power. Roman, now being in total control of three to four million inhabitants and many powerful armies, set its sights beyond its borders. After some military defeats, the romans finally conquered outside enemies, such as the Gauls, Carthaginans and other srounding neighbors. Rome grew ans expanded in territory and power. In 64 B.C., under the leadership of Pompey, Rome conquered Syria, the kingdom of the north. Thus they put an end to the dynasty started by Alexander the Great’s geneal , Seleucus.

    At that time Rome and Egypt were on friendly terms, but as the years passed, power struggles took place within the Roman state. Winning out over pompey and his son and several other, was Julius Caesar, who was appointed sole dictator.Caesar made many reforms, and enemies , and was later assassinated on the 15th of March, 44 B.C., in conspiracy led by Marcus Junius Brutus .The citizens of Rome turned against the conspirators, vary leader, Mark Anthony, who spend most of his time with his mistress, Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt. While Mark Anthony was in Egypt making his own plans, Octavian, who became the first Roman emperor, rose to power and established his supreme rule in Italy and in the western and central provinces. A civil war broke out between Octavian and Mark Anthony. The war ended in 31 B.C. with Octaian the victor. Anthony and Cleopztra committed suicide , and Egypt became a Roman Province, thus bringing to an end the Kingdom of the South, which had been ruled over by Alexander’s general Ptolemy. With the fall of Egypt went lat vestige of the once great Greek empire.Octavian was given the title Augustus, and from that time on,Rome was no longer called called dictator, but Emperor, which was the head of the fourth beast. With the head, a succession of emperors in place, the Roman empire enjoyed quiet order and internal peace, and was in control from 31 B.C to 235 A.D.

    After 235 A.D, chaos started to set in. First from internal corruption among high officials, which weakened the empire, then pressure fromoutside nations, over which they once had control. with an increasing number of civil wars, and Roman generals fighting against each other , the empire could no longer stop the advances of outside forces. Because of these internal and external problems , Rome reverted to totalitarianism, and that’s when cruel treatment of the public set in. The suffering became unbearable.

    Because of excessive cruelty , Romans started to turn to a religion that stressed love and charity. It promised redemption , resurrection, and in the after life, happiness unattainable on earth. Unitl it became worldly with the exercise of power, Christianity, to them meant alienation from life,Constantine I(called ”The Great), rose to power, he supported Christianity.As soon as Christian sabbath day were enacted. Constantine, in 321 A.D., prohibited all business on that day, except necessary agriciltural labor. Constantine died in 337 A.D., receiving a Christian baptism before his death.

    Rome was not able to stop its outside attackers. It finally collapsed in 476 A.D., when its last emperor, Romulus Agustalus was deposed by the Herulians under the leadership of Odoacer, the first of the Germatic tirbes to sack ruled the Roman state. I used the word “state” because the empire had long since fragmented and Rome had lost control of the world.

    After the fall of the empire , the Christian church stepped in , and for at least 1000 years gave Europe a measure of unity. The Pope , which had little or no power under the Roman emperors, had grown to be more powerful than the barbarian kings who tried to recreate the Roman empire.The Pope claimed his authority descended from the apostle Peter, to whom Jesus had said,”Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church.

    This will bring us to the ten horns on the head of the dreadful and terrible beast in Daniel 7:7-8 . The head of the beast represents the emperors that ruled Rome when it was an empire and in power. The ten horns represents ten men who tried to restore Rome and make it a world dominating emoie agian.The little horn that had eyes like a man, and a mouth speaking great things , represents the men that took on the title of the Pope. Being that this little horn will continue until the second coming of Jesus, we understand it is the office of the Pope that will make the difference.It does not mattwe how many men hold that office, they inherit the power that comes with it, and are all represented by tht little horn.)))

    (((Guess what? This little horn is the pope A.K.A The AnitChrist. That is the Abomintion of Desolation known as the POPE(AnitChrist)… )))

    Once the Pope(AntiChrist) step into that 3nd temple which is they building right now. That when the three half years Great Tribulation starts. Not the seven year Tribulation because it is a lie. But the bible says in the book of Revelation The Great Tribulation is only 42 month which is three half years only. NOT SEVEN YEARS!!!!!

    Daniel7:15-25
    I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of [my] body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

    Dan 7:16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.

    Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, [are] four kings, [which] shall arise out of the earth.

    Dan 7:18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

    Dan 7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

    Dan 7:20 And of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of] the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look [was] more stout than his fellows.

    Dan 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

    ((( The Pope (A.K.A AntiChrist) is going to hunt you down and kill you and cut off your head of your body because you find out that you have to worship on Saturday(True Sabbath) which is the truth, and you just find out that Christmas was a pagan day. You just finding out that aint onbody is not getting raptrue off. You just find out that your fake Sunday Pastor telling you lies all this time to your face. That why the pope is going to make war with the saints because the people is seeking God just find out the truth when they open the bible. And the Pope hate that when you opening the bible and that why the Pope (A.K.A AntiChrist ) coming after those when just finding out the truth.)))

    Dan 7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

    (((This after the Great Tribulation that Jesus will Judge the world and doing some killing before He throw alot of people in the Lake of Fire because they refuse to keep all of God Ten Commandments and His Dietary Law as well.)))

    Dan 7:23 ¶ Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

    Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

    Dan 7:25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

    ((( This AntiChrist (The Pope) will go against everything that Jesus say what you can and can not do. Like for example Christ say if you love me keep all my Commentments ,but Pope will say you dont have to keep the Law. But Jesus says do not make any graven images or do not bow down to them. But Pope says no you can do keep the Christmas. Christ say love your enemy but the Pope say kill your enemy. Everything the pope (A.K.A AntiChrist) dose or go aginist what God says. That is blasphemy and that cant be forgiven in this life of the next. The Pope will be doing this for a time and time dividing of time. That is three half years of Hell from the AntiChrist(pope ) once He ste into that 3nd temple , and you better start fleeing out this country and go to the MOUNTIANS which is the Wilderness The place of safey were God Gave Moses The Ten Commandments at. Since we in the Untied States , we have to flee to the East acorss the RED SEA.. You will wait to get there so you can get away for the Pope(AntiChrist) . )))

    Matthew24:16
    16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
    17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
    18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

    ((( I just told you that is the place of safey which is the Wilderness that mountains that Jesus tell us to go after you see the pope take his place at this 3nd temple and calling himself God . But that just kill alot of lie about the rapture because aint no rapture. If that was why did Jesus tell us to flees to some mountian just to get away for the pope(AntiChrist).Because the rapture thing is a lie. You will not find the word rapture in the bible. ITs going to be crazy when this AntiChrist(The pope) steps in the 3nd temple and he will make fire come fire and make the status walk and talk . This pope will get his power from Satan. . We going to read more about the AntiChrist and what the make of the beast(666) mean since these Sunday pagan worshiper is not going to tell you.)))

    Revelation13:1-18
    Rev 13:1 ¶ And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

    Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

    Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

    Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

    Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.

    Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

    Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

    Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

    Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

    Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

    Rev 13:11 ¶ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

    Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

    Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

    Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

    Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

    Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

    Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.

    ((( Do you know what 666 means? I will tell you. Since the number Six hundred threescore and six is the numbe of the beast and the numbe of man.
    When you see the Pope wearing a clown of his head.

    That clown has title name VICARIUS Filii Dei which means subsittuting replacements of the Son of God. other word This pope calling himself God.!!! That is blasphemy!!!!!
    V = 5
    I = 1

    When you add the total number of value 112+53+501 =666. That is the number of the Pope which is the number of the beast and the number of man.
    Bibile say if anybodt take that mark of ther beast(666) they will go into THE LAKE OF FIRE….

    Matthew24:19-51
    19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
    20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
    21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
    22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
    23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
    24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
    25Behold, I have told you before.
    26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
    27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
    28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
    29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
    30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
    31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
    32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
    33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
    34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
    35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
    36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
    37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
    38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
    39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
    40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
    41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
    42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
    43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
    44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
    45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
    46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
    47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
    48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
    49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
    50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

NO offense to gay men, but if your’re straight, why would you wanna get with a big “manish” looking woman?? As for the cover, too each his own. I think one day I may take a pic like Janet did back in the day with the guy holding her boobies…lol.. there was plenty of controversy over that one too, but I thought it was tasteful, and I’d ONLY do that for my future hubby…. And I”m not hating, I used to think she was slightly prettier than her sis, but now she’s so manly. OH I am hating on her millions, seriously, I mean, do I have that kinda money in the bank??

    hmmm… Seems that there are some people that hate on how others looks and for no apparent reason. The fact of the matter is, Serena is an attactive woman and there in not need to hate on the fact that she is obviously physically fit. Shes a prfessional athlete, she attractive, in shape, and wealthy. if you cant compete in in all three of these areas, or any one of them and you have something negative to say, then you might want to take a step back and evaluate your opinion and why it is that you feel this way. i dont know her personally, but im sure im correct when i say that she could give a fck less about your opinion of her, i know i would. All i’m saying is that if you feel like you can offer what someones can, that’s not a reason to try to down talk them, because in actuallity you are the one that endds up looking bad, in mores ways than one, so sometimes it’s just better to keep your opinion to yourself and keep it pimpin!

    You said that you think n*ggas will stick they little wee wees in anything… well if some n*gga is f*cking you then they are proving your theory right…

    Since you want to be so critical about how someone looks then lets see how you like it…

    You have your hair dyed some raggedy a** color. Your forehead is big as f*ck. Your eyebrows are almost invisible. Your nose is plump as buddy love’s toes when he was transforming back in Professor Dolittle… Your teeth are crooked. You are badly built and out of shape. Your breasts are sagging and your knees are ashy.

    If a person is beautiful on the inside then things that appear as flaws on the outside can be over looked but jealousy and hatred are too very ugly traits that make outside flaws stand out even more…

    And even if its not jealousy or hatred. Downing a sista over trivial matters such as appearance when you don’t even have your own sh*t together shows signs of a foolish black woman. Up lift, encourage and support. Not put down, hate and discourage. ffs…

    Check ya self baby girl. Inside and out…

It was said here in this comment. Oh yeah and please stop hating on each other black people that’s a major problem that really needs to stop in order to grow as a people.

    Why is everything racist? Could it possibly be that in accepting the millions that she earns from tennis that perhaps…her contract contains a morality clause so cursing officials and posing naked is just something that she has signed not to do?

    Ron247:

    Yep……. that sounds like “double standard racism” to me too.

    If Ashley Harkleroad can pose nude for Playboy and still get away with it, then why are they going to make a big stink out of Serena posing “semi-nude” for ESPN???? If they are going to rep-premend Serena for doing her shoot for ESPN, then they need to do the same thing to Ms. Hankleroad as well and make it fair all across the board.

    I am going to look up the link for Ashley Hankleroad later on today. If I even see one that even suggests that Ashley Hankleroad did indeed do a nude photo spread for Playboy, then as far as I am concerned, you definitely have enough evidence to support your theory.

    This racism bulls**t needs to stop, and it needs to stop now……

    I don’t know what people have against wearing clothes. There’s nothing artsy about being nude. It’s straight up smut. Average women take abuse from other women on the street for wearing skimpy clothes. Serena, Nia, Jill , Eva, Khloe and the others wear nothing or almost nothing and it’s tasteful? Where’s the consistency?

    Serena SHOULD wear some clothes for contractual reasons and for the good of my eyesight. I don’t wanna see Dwight or Adrian nude. She goes in that category. She looks like a man!

    Just because she has bigger muscles than you and is stronger or healthier doesn’t mean she has to or looks like a man. She certinly doesn’t look like it in the picture above. Even as with a well muscled physique you can see that she is female. She is proportioned and curvy. That’s what a thick woman looks like when they are well muscled. I think some so-called men on here are intimidated. That girl looks like she can go all night. She’s posed before obviously . so what’s the big deal now? She’s just trying to make back the money she lost when they screwed her over in that last game.
    I just want to say to you haters. Leave Serena alone!!!

    Now why would you say she looks like a man? Serena never mind that clown you look very nice. You are representation of what a black woman is, strong, beautiful, bold, outstanding and unique. This is only part of your struggle for this too shall past.

    I dont userstand why Bribabe2 is so mad about Serena. You go girl. I wish that I was in shape to play tennis. Do worry about the hatters and keep your head up.

    As long as it’s tastfully done I don’t see it as a problem. I particularly like the Serena photo shoot, because I am an athelitically built woman, and I think it brings out her femininity.

    Whats the big deal? When demi moore posed nude she made national headlines too but she wasnt being sued. How can the ITF try to take the spot that she earned? Just another loop hole that the white bread need to get one of their own in cause they obviously cant do it on talent alone!!!! Same thing happened with my ancestors, taking away sports programs in the ealy 1900′s. The natives beat all the college teams and of course this is the same type of thing. Different tactic same result. She looks so beautiful, not s**tty or anything wrong with this picture!!!!

    I notice that all the white ppl’s modesty is well hidden,as for the black women well it’s just too tackie for us brits. Serena looks great on the mag cover, and the photo has style. But the one of her bare back the photographer should have been sacked right on the spot. how dare he! how dare her costume stylists allow her skin to be shown in such bad light. The Williams sisters are my children’s idols and they would not wish to see her in that state. As for the tennis association, they would look for any excuse to take her off her spot! But because our prayers are strong, she will come back and whoop your backsides ten times again!

    Some people never stop throwing stones…at other people. And when Serena is playing tennis some of her body is showing some what like in her pic. They just need to STOP HATING ON HER & FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK SHE LOOK LIKE A MAN…TAKE A GOOD LONG HARD LOOK AT YOUR GAY A$$ SELF…and I REALLY HOPE THIS HIT THE LAST ONE STANDING…IN THE FACE. : ) LMAO

    This is the only way they can force out the Williams sisters . They can’t be beat on the court so they get punished with fines . The people who run tennis really don’t want them in tennis . It’s a shame and I would fight it all the way if I were them , but it’s if she wants to fight . Go Serena with your FINE ASS , I LOVE YOU !!!!

    i hate that everything always comes down to a “white or black” issue. I do believe that in this instance it is true though cuz i’ve seen several bikini clad pics of Anna K. and i’ve never heard any complaints but if Serena signed a piece of paper saying that she cant take nude pics then she knows she’s wrong but i do believe that this was “art” rather than porn and i think the entire world can see that it was done with “art” in mind as they have Men and women of all colors and creeds posing im sure they may reconsider but it is a sad thing that she’s being targeted for this

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dwayne_72/ dwayne_72

    the ita needs to go F&%$ themselves …..wat is the big issue on this ? this int PORN !!! u r seeing the same thing as if she had on a 2p bathing suit ya’ll need to give this diva ah f**king chance & stop b***hing bout petty things .Serena is a very beautiful woman & needs to show dat style ….if ya got it flaunt it dats art not porn stop hating & picking on these lil things .

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MizzGunzz/ MizzGunzz

    It’s a body of art! Get over it! It’s not Playboy Magazine

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xplosivewordzz/ xplosivewordzz

    As with all works of art, that is a body that should be admired and it was presented in a very tasteful way. The ITA is hatin cuz they ain’t rockin a BANGIN body like that!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/masculine31/ masculine31

    Why black women trying to be like white women? Only s**ts get nude for da world. Not a good look and totally inappropriate is all I gotta say, sends the wrong message to lil girls, and women in general. If *(International Tennis Federation)* is paying her for tennis, then she is clearly in the wrong here, because it tarnishes the ITA’s image. Play tennis Serena, stop this non sense for extra cash.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missaribaby/ missaribaby

    i understand what the problem is .. she not the only one naked in the mag.. further more i think we need to be looking a miley sirus … how all of these lil disney stars running around getting drunk half naked on stage… etc. but nothing is said to them…

    now back to the subject…. its her body … and her pockets…meaning if she wanna be naked like everybody else in the book then so be it…. long as she got paid… its not like she had to suck a couple of dicks to get there…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sen666/ Sen666

    Wow. Such a pretty pic! Banging body, most def! Um, what’s the problem? The ITA is talking about “image” but this is a very beautiful image, celebrating the body in its natural form. It’s poetic. It’s art. And I have seen Anna K. in more skankier poses than this and just letting her stuff hang out there…with “clothes!” Leave Serena alone! Don’t hate because she’s hot!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dcb514/ dcb514

    She should have known that the ITA was still mad that they could not suspend her for her comment at the W. Where is it written in the by-laws of the ITA that she cannot, off season at that, tastefully pose for a non-adult focused magazine? If she is fined then all the other athletes should be fined also. What makes the ITA so different? Beautiful pic.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Irtjeml/ Irtjeml

    maybe because I’m an european but I think she looks fine the ITA are a bunch of spitefull gitss

    I agree with masculine31, totally inappropriate. These stars, athletes, etc. have talent and world loves them for it. Then they get these nasty azz managers whispering in their ears “You gotta go nude”; for what I ask???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/loreanashli/ loreanashli

    Man oh man they steady trying to bring her down. Just any excuse to stop her grind!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rose_city/ rose_city

    masculine31, i disagree She wasn’t the only person that psoed but she is the only one getting backlash because she is a black woman, they’re not messing with Beckham. The the ITA doesn’t won her shes not a slave. WHat she does off the court isn’t their bizness

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/thekid1986/ thekid1986

    She did her thing on the court.The ITA has not right telling her what to do.Not even the franchises can do that,much less the ITA.Anna Kournikova is more popular for showing some a** more than she is for tennis cuz her game is poor.Dont see the ITA in her a**.Thats BS.Theyre just finding an excuse to bring her down.Damn…………

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CreamNDaKoffee/ CreamNDaKoffee

    The body is a beautiful thing. Her nude is tastefully done and is a work of art. To address some of the comments on here……1. Just because a female ( regardless of race ) takes nude photographs, doesn’t mean she’s a s.l.u.t. There is a BIG difference between porn and art. 2. She isn’t the only one feature nude in the magazine…..the ITA needs to get it’s knickers out of their azzes and leave her alone. No one else is making a fuss. 3. I agree with “missaribaby”…..something needs to be said for the Disney stars gone wild before anything is said to Serena. She mentioned Miley Syrus, but lets not also forget about Vanessa Hudgens from HSM sending totally nude pics of herself to Zac Efron and ended up getting leaked on the net. Serena do your thing baby…..you’re beautiful.

    Down for the cause but deeply disappointed that Amare can cover his whole damn chocolate treat and two sides with the palm of one hand ;-\ Oh well, some dudes just aren’t anatomically correct. Too bad for his wife, or girlfriend since high school. Maybe he does dddd and tongue tricks to make up for it lmbo!!!!
