reposting this one because I find it to be amusingly weird how Robert always rushes for racism.
The Williams sisters were the darlings of the tennis world for over 2 decades, the tournament organizers, and the tennis world in general, were craving for female superstars to pump up the sport, and the Sisters did it, more so Serena, they could have been purple with red polka dots, and still would have been beloved.
Of course fame comes with a price, and in the case of Serena and her diva attitude, it did call in the vulture journalism to descend on her, but I don't recall anyone saying anything about the color of her skin.
Same with this Naomi Osaka girl, who was quite beloved before this whole "don't want to talk to the press" thing. And even now she is getting a lot of support, and most of the push back against her is being met with heavy criticism.
I couldn't care less personally, we could get rid of athletes interviews and press conference all togther for all that I care, but that ain't the game, these hefty sponsorships and lavish tournament prizes don't sprout from the ground, you need a face to put behind the brand that sell rackets, and said face needs to be on the public eye, and right now these guys want this black girl's face to be on the dispaly.
I support if this Naomi chick doesn't talk to the press, except for elected/appointed goverment figures, no one should feel the obligation to talk to the press. But to jump right at the racism issue the way Robert does shows some weird obession he has over people's skin color and how he needs to point it out right away, when the issue doesn't seem to be it at all, and ironicaly, by making it to be about race, Robert seem to be diminishing the more pressing issue of this whole debate, and that is the athlete's after matches emotional exploitation that have going on for along time.
And that is the real issue most people have been getting against the "wokies", and the backlash against them that seems to be brewing, for all the talk of empathy and compassion, people like Robert ignore people's real issues and hardships, to make it about a self-serving crusade so they can fell rigthous about it, leaving the people they say the care about behind in the dust.
