1. Spoiler in the headline ... kinda uncool (nt)

2. Excuse me? We've known for weeks that Serena

Is retiring, and the US Open match was played last night.

3. Still pretty early in the day on the west coast ...

Could be people who have it recorded to watch in the AM, and didn't want to know outcome until they finished it/saw for themselves.

If you posted it later today, I'd not have said anything.

Anyways ... I wouldn't have put it in a subject line myself just yet, but no biggie

4. Sorry, we'll have to disagree.

The article (and title) focused primarily on Serena’s career.

The west coast folks could have watched at 4 pm their time, or later if they recorded it. It’s even earlier now in Hawaii. Where does that argument end?

Posting a result minutes after a game or match is one thing. Posting an article from a major newspaper 14 hours later while many other outlets have issued articles about the match already, is not a spoiler.
