You regard his response as being "Kind, but also wise" I'm speculating - because you agree with his position. OF COURSE someone you agree with is someone you would regard as Kind, but also wise. The fact is...what he's implicitly suborning is that "the media" should still be accorded license to engage in their "profession" in ways that can be potentially unprofessionally, even inhumanely. There are A LOT of sports reporters...reporters of any stripe, for that matter...who don't do anything to propel the dissemination of sports information in any way that could remotely be regarded as authentically invested in outlaying such information to inform the public. I'm not suggesting that athletes should not have to answer questions posed to them by media types...but some media types are only media types because so much of the public equates behaving like jackals as conducting oneself as a responsible media reporter. The question as to why Osaka withdrew from the tournament is, in such context, almost irrelevant...the fact is that under no circumstance should anyone be compelled to contend with a prodigious faction within the media that trades on exploitative journalism, at the athletes' expense, where the clear agenda is the reporter(s) endeavoring to make their bones...and that happens entirely too frequently.

I totally agree w/your the assessment of the GREAT Rafael Nadal question response. He summed up the fact regarding this matter concerning Osaka's trying 2 reserve her emotional health while under pressure sporting. @ the same time as Rafael so eloquently relayed the sports fans & players do need the reporting of the games via reporters. I understand that Osaka along w/other players do get annoyed when they have reporters that are perhaps racist or looking 2 get under the skin of the players. I believe that is why Osaka is reluctant 2 leave herself vulnerable in their presence. Osaka clearly is a private & shy woman who just wants 2 play the sport w/out the BS!!! Or perhaps the probing of the player's personal business is invasive & that is very disturbing 2 private players' position.

Mike Greenberg addressed that issue. In the 50s - 90s yes media was necessary to generate interest in sports but in the modern social media world that is so no longer the truth. "Without them, there is no promotion of the sport and there would not be any funding in the first place" - this statement is now false. Athletes themselves have millions of follower that they can reach directly. When was the last time you actually read a sports news article? Sports media are shit they are just there to stir up drama and soundbites. Players dont like them, fans dont like them. Sponsors dont give a shit about them because sponsors can just go directly to athletes. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qHqSd6qxr32mrp8.html

Tennis is a very specific sport. First of all... they are nice (the players) but I think Tennis gets boring if all are acting the same. But thats another story. Tennis is a Solo-Player game mostly. Its very different than football for example. Where a whole team has to fight. If a tennis player plays bad, he knows it and he loses the match directly. So there is not much room for accusations and debate about a players perfromance, so its much easier for the sportsman to deal with fans and the press. There is simply no moment of lots of contraversions. You dont need to respond to another 10 players why you played bad and you dont need to respond to your trainer or even manager or whatever. Tennis is a very single oriented sport. You are practically alyways your own boss and you only have to responds to yourself. That makes it a lot easier than many other sports, when it comes to deal with the media.. your fans or your managment. For example.. in Tennis the players get their OWN trainers that THEY hire and not vice versa.. where the trainer decides who can play. This all makes it much esier to stay calm and relaxed, thats what I wanted to say.

Time and time again we see this happening, there's a huge campaign about mental health awareness, all the big brands jump behind it and all that, but do they really believe in it? will they put their money where their mouth is? because this happens to be the first opportunity we have to put the stuff we've learnt from those 'campaigns' to work, what is everyone doing instead? they are berating Naomi and asking why she's crying for help, rather than commending her for being brave and coming out publicly to declare that she's not ok mentally. It's not as if she hasn't been doing interviews, she didn't say she was going to stop doing interviews altogether, all she's asking for is help with whatever she's going through right now and to those of you who criticize her, you're just like that friend who will say 'please man up' depression is for wimps. toughen up and crack on with it. Then if it leads to God forbid a fatality, the whole mental health 'campaign' intensifies again and the cycle begins, except that no one actually puts things learned into practice, it's all bullshit. Goodluck to you Mr Rafael Nadal, you're very tough and are able to cope better than Naomi, but for goodness sake, put yourself in someone else's shoes sometimes and show some support, you never know what's round the corner.

NAdal has never gone thru wat Osaka has on the court. Serena blowout in her first slam win. Us open final. Then her statements at past us open. Osaka is a great example of racial justice. Funny. The usta could have supported her but she didn’t fit the white mold. She doesnt fit any mold. Which is needed in this super raciest super elitist sport. Country club sports need a superior person. Not another carbon copy. I’m sick of watching deadbeat journalists. They send rookies reporters to tennis events. They play 7 matches. Every other day. Media is biased toward which country they rep. And don’t give me the professional excuse. She brings all of Asia with her and they only watch bc of her in Japan. She makes them added revenue and then cries bc the tournament federation or directors can’t make more free money on her. And u defend the rich federations point of view. Wow. Ever had anything mentally disturbed u. I have. It’s hard to focus when ur thinking bout other ish. Please with ur American bias. Do u Naomi. The Asians will always back u. Why is no one noticing the problem at home with Covid and the Olympics.

The only really Asia is backing her now is because she was winning. Most of Asia dont have consideration for blasians outside of claiming it for sport and entertainment cred let’s be real. The Williams sisters have gone through a lot more and have done more for providing visibility to this sport outside of the elite circles than Naomi ever has. The trouble with this generation is people want to make heroes and champions of people prematurely. The amount of press Naomi has gotten since she won a game against Serena isn’t the picture of someone who is “oppressed”. This is a clear case of opportunism and people trying to make her some e Justice warrior which she never asked for. If Japan has a fully Japanese tennis star they wouldn’t waste their time with Naomi, so please.

Rafa breathes a heavy sigh when he goes into these press conferences. He's clearly as bored as hell but gets on with it as his duty. He has lost it with the media on occasion but it is rare. The sport must be promoted and sensationalised or it dies, but maybe these conferences could be reduced. After every match is a bit much. Often players have little more to say than already said in the on court interview.
@tanyaghosh2277
@tanyaghosh2277 2 роки тому
i agree. A slightly longer on court interview could basically eradicate the need for a press conference at least in the group stage games or whatever. Obviously, QF onwards, you actually want the press conferences to get as much info on the players, their mentality, etc. I think hers is a special case though because she's not dealing with any outright shitty questions or any racist/sexist ones. She's struggling with her OWN anxiety, depression and insecurities. She made the conscious decision to withdraw from RG so that she could really address her issues which is smart of her - not only because she needs to heal - but because, I think she knows that she will have to start doing press interviews since they r too integrated in the sport & financial prospects for players. She needs to overcome her own personal barriers n insecurities and she will be fine.
