Osaka on French Open interviews: No comment

There's no feud like a vintage SJ.com feud!

 

Precisely my point. If she didn't want attention, she and her team could easily have asked out of whatever SI was planning. Bought the ticket, take the ride, etc.

You're entitled to your opinion, and you're entitled to disagree. But don't EVER put me in anything with Megyn Kelly and Clay Travis. Ever.

 

Haha if this was a vintage SJ.com feud I would have challenged Poindexter to meet me at Penn Station. Plus, someone on this thread is sparring with hondo and it's not me! Next thing you know the Milwaukee Bucks will win an NBA title.

 

I'm not sparring with anyone, BYH. I responded. If he doesn't like it, too bad.

(And the next thing you know, the Mets will win the World Series.)

 

The more I read the complaints about Osaka the more I understand her point of view.

 

A commercial during the NBA. Championship mentioned respecting athletes’ mental health. I’m afraid I wasn’t paying close attention and didn’t catch whose ad it was. I think that it was showing vignettes of what the future might be.

This one hits all the notes - fashion icon, social justice leader, endorsements....

How Naomi Osaka carved her own path to land on world's biggest stage

 

It was a Nike commercial, and it was god-awful.
Besides the bit you mentioned, it showed a bunch of guys playing pick-up basketball while wearing WNBA jerseys with the voice over, "One day, the WNBA will be more popular than the NBA."

 

It was pretty scattershot, but I took a little bit of notice because, once the suits in marketing have reached into their wallets to shine a spotlight on a cause, it isn’t long before we become taskmasters of their wokeness.

 

If all the men on Earth suddenly died, the NBA would still be more popular than the WNBA.

 

On what?

 

Someone actually challenged me to an in-person fight earlier this year!

Also, Osaka doesn't owe me, you or anyone else anything. Even if her anxiety reason isn't legit, she could say "Because suck my dick" and it would be enough. Don't like it? Don't write about or cover her. Somehow, she'll survive. And if you're NBC or ESPN, it's really not possible to not cover her.
