'the powers that be at that time were determined to engineer my eventual disbarment.' It would appear that those same 'powers' you referenced didn't have to do much to engineer your demise, as your own actions led to that fate. Self-inflicted rather than some conspiracy that you would have us believe.

A well written article although the author dispels any notion of a balanced and objective portrait of Serena, because she is so obviously a fan of hers. Thats fine if you are able to put across a compelling and reasonable argument for her actions and motives. I don't feel that the author does that. Despite that I would concur with her assessment of SW as the GOAT. She is the greatest female tennis player of all time. Even if she doesn't tie Maragret Court's record of 24 Grand Slams. Thats because many of Court's slams were won in the 'closed' era, as opposed to the 'open' era. She also won 11 of her slams at the Australian Open during an era when many of the top women didn't attend the event. For that reason she will never be considered on Serena's level.

You obviously do. Otherwise why take the time to post a comment?

I have no idea how Brent Stubbs has continued and maintained his position as a sports journalist with this newspaper. He is chronically inept. The boxer is named Swaby and is Swaby in the article for the first couple of paragraphs. He then for some reason metamorphosed into Sawyer by the end of the article. Does he or anyone ever proof read his work?

TThis article is so poorly written. How Brent Stubbs remains as the chief sports writer for this nnewspaper baffles me.

I personally believe him to be an uneducated cretin who always bring some type of racial or xenophobic slant to the discussion, be it warranted or not.

Captive insurance is when you take out an insurance premium against you , or anyone in your family being kidnapped and held 'captive' for ransom. Very popular in Mexico I believe.

Have no idea what you are talking about . Nothing you stated made sense at all. Payroll tax is more regressive than 'tax'- what type of tax ??? You mean VAT ? What about the idea of Capital Gains , which is what Mr D'Aguilar was referring to.

Lets not get too personal here shall we ? The gentleman in question is a successful business man and has been approached by the Tribune for his views on many different business related subjects. He is qualified to speak on such subjects ( as Im sure you are being the successful business man that you are ) and I would hardly say he is seeking the limelight but merely offering an alternative view to what is a highly contentious subject. I knew his father and no one ever called him Vince, so I highly doubt you had such a conversation with him. Methinks you should follow the advice of your own moniker and get a reality check yourself.
