Fourth-seeded Naomi Osaka reached the semifinals of the Western & Southern Open on Wednesday and withdrew a few hours later in a call for racial justice, drawing quick support from other players. Soon after, the whole tournament was put on hold for a day.
“As a sport, tennis is collectively taking a stance against racial inequality and social injustice that once again has been thrust to the forefront in the United States. The USTA, ATP Tour, and WTA have decided to recognize this moment in time by pausing tournament play at the Western & Southern Open on Thursday, Aug. 27,” the three oganizations said in a statement.
The entire country has been brainwashed. And to think, all this death and destruction was kicked off based on the lie that police are murdering unarmed black men due to racism. The liberals are so desperate to win an election that they promoted the lie, and are allowing the craziness to continue.
(Oh, a poll showed that it might be costing them votes, and not getting them votes as they thought, so they might be willing to restore order now,)
Statement should read; "As a sport, pro tennis will commit sucide as have other pro sports before it."
What racial inequality are they even talking about when they say that another incident thrust this into the limelight? The criminal thug who had a knife, defied police orders, and was threatening the police by going to his car to retrieve a weapon? Just because he’s black? Will cops have to allow thugs to just grab guns and point it at them, if they’re black? We are moving toward two sets of rules: white people must obey police and not threaten their lives, and black people can do whatever the h they want, up to and including threatening police.l

Her choice
In normal times they would just put forfeit next to her name.
Good way to drive away the 1/3 actively opposed and the 1/3 who have zero care.
I wonder if they know they are making Trump commercials for him.
