The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
For those of you who didn't get the "honor" of seeing the ridiculous news segments about Serena Williams "horrific injury", here is the story...

This happened earlier today and I'm ALREADY sick of hearing how "brave" and "strong" she was for "overcoming her injury". Pleeeeeease...she had ACUTE MUSCLE SPASMS in her calf. They act like she played her tennis match with two shattered knee caps.
Just because she cried and screamed like she just got shot when her spasms were happening, doesn't mean that what she did was some feat of bravery.
It just makes me mad when news reporters make athletes out to be super-human, just because they played through an extremely mild injury. NFL players CONSTANTLY get cramps and muscle spasms, but after they get to the sideline and have their muscles worked on for a play or two, they're FINE and back on the field. Nobody dedicates a whole news segment to them and how tough they are. But wait...when Serena Williams gets some acute muscle spasms, they'll talk about how heroic she is. It makes me sick. It almost OFFENDS me as someone who has played sports their whole life. People play through injuries that are WAY worse than that, but you never hear about it. I played my entire senior year of high school baseball with a dislocated shoulder and torn cartilage in my neck...where's my medal of honor?
I'm sorry, but it was just venting time on this subject for me.
