We recently had a post about Maria Sharapova and her unwillingness to pose for a four-hour photo shoot for the WTA’s promotional machine. Apparently, both sides have reached an agreement, allowing Sharapova to avoid a fine the BBC reports as £153,000 — almost 300,000 US dollars.
On her personal site, reports were the fine could be in excess of $700,000.
Nevertheless, both sides have agreed and monies are being protected. To appease her association, Sharapova agreed to take part in a 90-minute shoot instead of the four-hour Vogue-like marathon. Whatever. As long as she does some pictures like the one leading this post, we’ll all be fine.
Compromise — even in women’s tennis — is a wonderful thing.
Stumble it!

Makes you wonder if she was a pro tennis player that was butt ugly if they would still want to fine her for not posing. For that matter if they paid me to pose for that kind of money I would ask where my bikini was, and I may be blonde, but pretty is not the word for me.

Yeah compromise. And life is precious. And God. And the Bible. (Mr. Show has feriously sucked me up) Apologies.
