Serena Williams is Chaos?
If you've been to ESPN.com lately, you may have noticed the considerably unflattering picture of Serena Williams' victory pose that is currently plastered across the main page of the site. As a gamer, when I first encountered this photo, I immediately recalled the cover art of Primal Rage, a quarter-assed prehistoric 2D fighter for the SNES. A quick archaeological dig through my classic game collection revealed a stunning, if not frightening, resemblance between Williams, the tennis icon, and Chaos, the ape-beast god of decay. As far as I'm concerned, the two images' variance is restricted to context and skin color. But all ape-beasts aside, while I'm sure Williams is proud to have her exploits chronicled on the front page of the site, she can't be pleased with the presentation.
