Serena crip walks victory dance after beating Maria

Serena Williams won her first Olympic Singles Gold medal and did a little jig. You know the other half of the Venus and Serena Williams tennis duo straight out of Compton.Matter of fact, the dance moves comes from Compton..Crip walking.Unfortunately, for Serena, busting a move on the the Queen's turf, that originated from gang members was not well received.
Crip Walking inside an NBA arena that is routinely filled with the sounds of edited versions of popular gangsta rap songs is different from Crip Walking at Wimbledon. That fact has nothing to do with race. It has to do with tradition and atmosphere. Wimbledon is a sports church, falsely prim, proper and respectful.
But Wimbledon has not been too celbatory to the William sisters. Perhaps, Serena's Little happy dance was a reminder, that she (coming out of Compton) thrashed #1 Maria Sharapova or it was the defining moment to be more accepting of African-Americans. John McEnroe says change is coming to swimming with Richler wearing a grill and the music for gymnastic, so why not a dance for the fancy foot work called for on the tennis court? A little Dougie request from a r NBC reporter from Gabby and a little Crip- walking from Serena, now let's see what the basketball dream team can give us.
