Serena Williams deletes 'Photoshopped' picture after fan backlash





Serena Williams, the greatest tennis player in the world, has found herself in the midst of a Photoshopping furore. She has been accused of posting an edited picture of herself from a photoshoot with People magazine. 


The sportswoman featured in their Most Beautiful 2016 list, behind Jennifer Aniston who landed the number one spot and cover. To celebrate, the tennis ace posted a picture of herself in a black, low-cut leotard with a noticeably smaller waist than in the original shot. 




 Williams was instantly called out by her followers and questioned about the disparity between the images. "I love her but the bar behind her waist is so warped. Disappointing," one said. While another added: "You could see the pole behind her is distorted... I have seen her in person MANY times! Shes too gorgeous for them to be distorting her like this." 


 Shortly after Williams replaced the edited snap with that of the original and with the same caption: "@people mag most beautiful 2016." She was commended by her fans for correcting the error with one writing: "Part of the reason that young women are becoming anorexic. 


You should be an ambassador, you should be proud of your curves. The worlds a mess [sic]!" While another added: "You could see the pole behind her is distorted... I have seen her in person MANY times! Shes too gorgeous for them to be distorting her like this." 

 It's not the first time Williams has been accused of being overly edited in photographs. The star of Beyonce's Lemonade faced a similar backlash last year when she appeared on the December cover of Sports Illustrated. At the time, critics asked whether her thighs has been made smaller.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Patrick Mahomes tenth overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. No one doubts that decision anymore after the former Texas Tech standout led the AFC West squad to two Super Bowl championships in four seasons.   But Mahomes wearing the Chiefs’ colors nearly didn’t happen, as the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player revealed to Pardon My Take’s Dan “Big Cat” Katz. “Was there one team that you thought for sure you were gonna go to?” Mahomes answered: “There’s a couple of teams. The Chiefs, I thought for sure I would go here.  The Cardinals, they liked me a lot. And the Saints, those are the teams that really liked me.” He added: "Then the Saints, though. I'd be still backing up Drew [Brees], man...When the guys throwing for the stuff he's throwing for, you're fine with just backing him up and learning as much as possible."   The Cardinals had the 13th overall pick in that year’s draft. But with Mahomes going to Kansas City, they took outside li...
