This.

(He noted that he’s especially unhappy about having been labeled a “bully” in the exchange.)

No one on earth gets hate like Black women just tryna do their damn job

Dick “Go Fuck Yourself” Cheney didn’t even get this much shit after unnecessarily killing over 3K US troops and 250-600K civilians, driving out 2.5 million Christian from their home land, and shooting someone in the face.

Me too. I know someone who hates the current administration so much and won’t shut up about it. Sis is starting to look like a Black femme Umar Johnson if that makes any sense. A few people reigned her in with receipts and she’s still salty about it and won’t admit she jumped the gun on it. 

No doubt, this woman will be doing newsmax interviews within the week

I feel like my entire Twitter feed is people yelling at Kamala Harris over made up bullshit.

Both of the Williams sisters have seen their rankings suffer at various times in their career (especially Venus) because they chose not to play in a lot of tournaments.  I don’t think it mattered much to them.  

Wimbledon has existed for 144 years. They don’t need shit from Osaka...she could literally have never existed and it would have made zero difference to Wimbledon.

I can only assume that the outraged Osaka headlines are getting lots of clicks because there’s been more tennis coverage on Jezebel in the last 2 weeks than some professional tennis publications.

This is so provincial. How could a nearly 150-year-old tournament possibly succeed without a person who’s famous in America in it?

Wimbledon existed before her, and it will continue to exist after her.

She does and she doesn’t. Your points determine your ranking, which determines your seed (who you play—high-ranked players play low-ranked players in early rounds) and the cut-off for entry into tournaments without having to play qualifiers (sort of a pre-tournament, where the winners can then play in the tournament

Naomi Osaka Doesnt Need Wimbledon, Wimbledon Needs Naomi Osaka

I’ve been heartened by the support Osaka seems to be getting from her fellow athletes—while I’m by no means a close tennis watcher, what I’ve seen from tennis players and others is centering her mental health. But it’s been interesting to read elsewhere about the ambivalence of other players who take the press

This.

“the focus remains on Osaka” Not really. It remains so in the US. The rest of the world doesn’t care much: I can attest that, being a French citizen who lives in Canada and reads both European and Canadian news. The French media stopped caring the moment she dropped from Roland Garros (The French Open), and Canadians

Has anyone reported on what a lack of player availability to the media does to TV contracts?

LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.

Happy this shows back. Elite really excels in the whole “ultra sexy and unabashed soapy teen drama” without devolving into ridiculous territory... or patting itself on the back for all its queer/poc characters
