Hmm... what's wrong here?!

No matter how far we come, we get reminded that it's not enough. This is why I raised $111M for @serenaventures. To support the founders who are overlooked by engrained systems woefully unaware of their biases. Because even I am overlooked. You can do better, @nytimes.

Also, FFS, say her name. "Tennis Star's"...

1. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this.

Her name is literally the first two words of the story. Not everyone knows who she is. Not everyone watches tennis.

[demmiblue]

2. Pretty much everyone knows who she is. Using her name would get more eyeballs.

Also, that is not the main thing wrong with the piece.

3. That's not her picture

Serena is maybe the most famous female athlete in the world and they used the wrong picture.

[BlueTsunami2018]

6. Duh! I didn't even look at the picture.

In the words of the immortal Emily Litella…”never mind”.

7. Tha's Serena's photo

In some photos they resemble more than others

15. That's not Serena. It's Venus.

[BuddhaGirl]

5. That's her sister Venus

in the photo of the article.

Very sloppy work by the NYT.

[BlueTsunami2018]

11. Yes, I see that now.

[BlackSkimmer]

24. That's Serena.

I’m sure of it.

[malaise]

4. They might have written Tennis Star, Serena Williams

But her name is part of the Heading. What else is wrong?
I’ so proud of the Williams women.

10. Perhaps that they're showing the wrong person in the photo? nt

[malaise]

12. They are not

That is Serena

[Carlitos Brigante]

14. Then why is the NYT saying they will issue a correction with the photo? nt

[malaise]

18. Has she responded?

[Carlitos Brigante]

19. The NYT did and pretty much said they fucked up. nt

[malaise]

22. Well then I'm wrong

Oops! They do resemble a lot in some photos - just like me and my siblings.

[Carlitos Brigante]

23. I remember Venus' face more because she gave the keynote speech at AIA last year. She's

really a bad ass and I have no idea how she can do so many things at the same time. Other than that I don't follow tennis. But both of them seem to be involved in so many things beyond the sport.

9. Where is the insult? She didn't get the top of the page with a big layout?

Yes, they apparently used the wrong photo, which is sloppy on the part of the NYT. They did correct it for the online version, and they apologized.

[BlueTsunami2018]

13. They used the wrong picture.

They used a picture of her sister.

I missed that myself.

[Sympthsical]

28. I was so busy trying to figure out what was wrong with the article

I didn't even look at the picture. Was so confused, because it seems like a really nice article, lol.

But, no. That is not her. Nice job, NYT.

16. The response from the NYT:

This was our mistake. It was due to an error when selecting photos for the print edition, and it did not appear online. A correction will appear in tomorrow’s paper.

20. Well that's that then

Oops!

[BlackSkimmer]

25. Looked like Serena to me too.

Venus has different features.

[malaise]

27. Same here

but NYT says otherwise.

A few days ago I was on a call with one of my brother's kids. I had on reading glasses and bro came in the room when he heard my voice. He screamed when he saw me _I was wearing reading glasses - he could have sworn he saw our long deceased mother. Now I rarely look like mom, but it's like that with family.
