Women Crush Everyday: Serena Williams Spokesperson of the Year

Okay, Serena is doing it. Her major accomplishments on the tennis court have earned her the coveted title of Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year. In spite of all the hate that's been thrown her way (being called a man, people with nothing even remotely interesting going on for themselves rejoicing in the fact that she lost a major tennis match earlier in the year, and other dumb criticism simply because she's a woman of color doing her thing) she's still come out on top by ignoring the hate, and not responding to white Americans who are intimidated by her. In spite of her accomplishments, some people still refuse to give her props. For instance, people are seriously outraged that Serena (A PERSON) won SportsPERSON of the year over American Pharaoh... a horse. (insert side-eye)  

It can't be easy constantly being baited by internet thugs who are rooting for you to fail, but Serena has remained classy through it all, and love her or hate her, she's definitely at the top of her game. Eat your hearts out haters. Congratulations Serena...you definitely deserve it!
