Dixie Chicks vs. Serena Williams : LA IMC

Thursday, May. 29, 2003 at 1:13 PM

Where's the outrage!?!

And after she won the NASDAQ-100 Open in April, Serena Williams -- the reigning French Open champion -- smiled mischievously, mustered a cartoonish French accent and said, "We want to make clothes. We don't want the war."

The backlash in France was immediate. A number of Paris boutiques removed clothing endorsed by Williams and a French firm canceled plans to design blouses with her.
