Why 2008 commentators in Wimbledon stereotyping?

Question

Zheng vs Williams, making fun on her height? hmmm.. very unprofessional

Answer 1

I didn't know that they were, but if they are, they shouldn't anyways.Besides being unprofessional, she's 5'4.5, which isn't short for a woman (that's the average height of a woman in the US), and especially for an Asian one, she is above average.

Answer 2

They weren't really making fun of her just saying that being 5'4.5'' is short for a tennis player at that level and it puts her at a disadvantage.

Answer 3

They are dumb and mean people. Zheng is an awesome player. They should respect her.

Answer 4

justine henin was quite short but it   never affected her game against people that were taller, do not think it should matter
