Each time an athlete or Team pulls out if a Competition.... it IS a Forfeit
These SJW Millionaire Elites think they will still get paid while they Forfeit.
#GoToChina is trending
In the Real World - Normal People recognize these are NOT Boycotts
These Millionaire Elite Athletes have gone on STRIKE - but they still think they will be Paid.
It won’t work out well for them.
They will and the bum kissing corporate woke trash will still pay them their endorsements. AKA see Krappernick and AKA see Nike.
PS I googled the go to china thing and ended up with A) China tourism. B) Various HS/college study trips. Care to elaborate as I do not see your context?
Its kind of meaningless unless she pays a price for it.
She might lose some money and endorsements. However, if she has a plan and the ingenuity to put some capital behind it, she can do something else. Alot of athletes have enough money to do something else if they get turned away from the American pro sports leagues. The people who have the most to lose are those with very little money to work with.

I agree, but then the question begs, why not just do it? Professional athletes are tripping over each other to prove their "woke" status, knowing full well it's meaningless.
Why not run for a Mayor? Governor? President? Congress? Lobby on behalf of NGOs? And many more?
All these are publicity stunts.....and won't matter a damn bit.

Maybe LeBron can run for mayor of Wuhan. Or Lhasa. Or Urumqi.
Is her daddy even in her world anymore, or did he bail like 90% of other men like him?
As I understand it (I am a tennis fan - grew up playing it and loving the game) she is half Japanese, perhaps an America black dad and Japanese mom?
And she was raised in Japan, right? So...her opinion can be flushed down the toilet as far as I am cocnerned.
She really should be boycotting Japan, as they are the most xenophobic country on the planet I believe. I do give the Japanese a lot of credit for standing up to the UN and keeping their country homogeneous and clean. I am jealous of their leaders, that I will admit.
Absolutely, I dont think anyone questions that. But I do find the self destructiveness of it all fascinating.
This all feeds into the conspiracy that the Left actually really want Trump to be re-elected. Because at this point with the NBA players and the small towns being burned to the ground, I will literally be shocked if President Trump doesn't win re-election.
Refusing to play tennis always cures all the ills of the world- everyone knows that. The Germans and Japanese were only defeated in WW2 when everyone finally agreed to stop playing tennis. Liberals are so insane that they actually think such idiotic actions will achieve their desired result.
Who cares. Professional sports is too corporate anyway. No loss. Enjoy sports and activities yourself instead of watching other people get filthy rich off of doing it while we sit and get fat in front of a screen.

In short: Osaka is full of &%^$
“But for the past few weeks, Francois has not only watched but has coached the world No.3 through her last two titles in Osaka and Beijing.
"He annoys me so much that it makes me angry and I use my anger as a fuel to win," Osaka stated in a post-match presser.
She would tweet about her dad later: "All jokes aside I love my dad so much and I’m grateful for everything I learn from him on and off the court. I feel extremely lucky to be his kid cause he just drops knowledge."
The 21-year-old major champion is on a 10-match winning streak and back in the Top 3 with her dad by her side.”
