Naomi Osaka Threatened With Expulsion For Refusing To Do Media Interviews....

[man-machine]

I give her an A+ for effort and this may be a ploy on her part to put the press on the defensive but in the end, the Press is the Press. If you're in entertainment arts, sports entertainment, or politics you have to deal with them. We just had possibly the Biggest Cry Baby in Human history whine about the Press for 5 going on 6 years. I am worried that she may not have what it takes to deal with the stress of being on the world stage. The ones who ultimately rise to greatness ignore doubters or use it to fuel their internal fire. As a sports fan, I think interviewing people after they just lost an emotional game or match is kind of Stupid but it has given us some great post-interview gems:



In the end, I think she'll be just fine.

RAW

Her job is playing tennis. That she does. Now the job is telling her to go to the office party.

You dont just show up at the French open, you have to sign a contract and agree to their terms.

 

[doug777]

I don’t get today’s athlete. Just say your sensitive, and that’s okay.

I think that's what she's saying.

 

[keone]

ok

Naomi Osaka fined $15,000 and threatened with expulsion for avoiding the media at French Open

Organizers said that the tennis player could face expulsion from the French Open and future Grand Slams if she continues to not speak to the media. Last week, Osaka said she would not participate in any news conferences during Roland Garros to protect her mental health. She was fined $15,000 USD (£10,570) "in the wake of her infringement of mandatory media interviews."

@ansatsusha_gouki

I wonder if Kevin Love did this... how would the NBA respond?

I think this is REALLY gonna backfire on them

They could have handled this different.

I knew they were destined for failure when they sent out that bullsh*t tweet.

Shes arguably the biggest draw in sports today; they’d be insane to kick her out of the tournament.

 

[Pworld297]

Damn she just withdrew from the French Open.

[geechiedan]

her withdrawal statement..

her reasons are personal and legit...any black person who has a problem with that...YOU'RE THE PROBLEM.

#DOYOUNAOMI!

Fuck the French Open .... more pink hair

Knew it

They f*cked wit the wrong one

Now it is a cause a rallying cry

And a public relations clusterf*ck

Could have kept ALL this in house.

That tweet was the first poke and the announcement was dumb.

Now players and coaches and sponsors and media and networks are caught

They do NOT want to piss off the wrong group

They spent a year pretending they were woke

She Asian, young, woman, black, socially active, supports mental health

WTF were they thinking?

You gonna have ALL them groups up in arms

And they ACTIVE.

They will protest boycott social media attack investigations...

Damn.

Is serena in the French open? .. does this mean she get the chance to break the record?

 

[Gemini]

 

[smoovejazz]

She may know how to play tennis really well but she has no idea how to play the "Game".

Maybe after seeing what they're trying to do to her, she doesn't want to play the game.

 

[praetor]

I'm wondering that too. I want to see what the ratings are if neither Serena nor Osaka are playing.

 

[LordSinister]

Lets see if Serena backs out too

 

[tallblacknyc]

Lets see if Serena backs out too

Serena: shitttttt I got a record to break

 

[Mr. ISM]

why the fuck do y'all care if she doesn't wanna fuck with media outlets? nobody called Marshawn soft when he didn't fuck with them snakes.....you cats fucks me up sometimes

 

[LordSinister]

why the fuck do y'all care if she doesn't wanna fuck with media outlets? nobody called Marshawn soft when he didn't fuck with them snakes.....you cats fucks me up sometimes

Because she is a biracial sister that supports black men. She's an easy target.

 

[Mr. ISM]

bruh...don't you get tired of all these "hate black women" muhfuckas on here? she's doing what she needs to do for herself. if I don't like something fuck that I'm not doing it. fuck the money, fuck the fame, fuck it all!!! at the end of the day you should feel good about life and if she's good...I'm good. besides I don't give a fuck about press conference...do it on the court.

.....but it's true!

I'm not saying kick dirt on her, but Gotdamn!!!! Tennis press conferences are the easiest in the pro sports!! Gimme a break!

This is big time pro sports and talking to the media is a part of the sport just like the damn game. They go hand and hand.

One again, let's not forget, she gets paid millions to play a sport! Gets to travel the world and stay in the finest accommodations.

She is not being vilified by the media or by the public in any way.

Her concern is after a loss, being asked questions about the game she just played. So that is too much?!!!!!

FOH.... Like I said. She and her support system are super fragile and tennis will go on without her.

Marshawn found a way to deal with the shit with humor. I think he even copyrighted " I'm just here so I don't get fined"

Just cause you have a crush on her, don't let her off the hook.

Her and her team could have figured out a way to handle this shit better.

BTW.... I shitted all over Ronda Rousey's lollipop head ass for doing the same thing. So this has nothing to do w/ Black or biracial women.

 

[SamSneed]

This is what they want

 

[SamSneed]

She is human

she feels

let her be

Hell.
At this point,
It's practically backfired on ALL parties involved.

 

[Race Harley]

Maybe after seeing what they're trying to do to her, she doesn't want to play the game.

I hope now that she's decided not to play in this tournament that she stays out of the public spotlight and get the help for her mental health.

So all ya'll saying stuff like this. Would you feel the same if she was white?

Where were all of ya'll when Ronda Rousey was on Ellen saying that she wanted to kill herself because she lost one fight?!!!

I'll wait.....

then you should understand that some people have no tolerance for bullshit. and instead of jumping on her for not doing something she's not getting paid for (she gets paid to play tennis) how about asking why when dominant sisters are being questioned by the press, they're talked to different? they're held to a different standard. after years of hearing how they defined Serena and Venus, why the fuck are y'all riding the sister?? ask yourself that objectively and get back to me.

and...i'm too old for crushes...especially on someone young enough to be my daughter

SHE IS GETTING PAID TO GO TO PRESS CONFERENCES!!!! That's the part you don't get. It's a package deal!

They are not dogging her at the press conferences is my point. She just doesn't want to go AFTER A LOSS because she is so crushed. Gimme a break!

She gets softball questions thrown at her. They are not tough on her is my point. If the media was being assholes to her, then I would get it.

Serena is a fucking drama queen that made more about some things than what they were. I get she got horrible racist treatment by fans, but during press conferences, I don't remember the tennis media beating her up. BTW...Serena could give a shit about you or my Black ass. She wants to be white in the worst way!!!

Someone needs to get on her and let her know that she doesn't have it that damn bad. People out here struggling for real and she can't muster up enough courage to face the lollipop tennis media. C'mon man...

Wait... I'm giving concern to a young woman is apparently having mental issues and you're going to ask me about Ronda Rousey because she could handle losing a fight? If can't show you concern for Ronda Rousey here, kindly STFU!
