She doesn't want an interview so bleeps off and let her be for now.

naijapips02:
Woke generation. This generation is the most dyfunctional. Everybody is an activist. Everything is a fight.

It's obvious you have been living under a rock, the previous generation provided many counterculture and non conformist movements, the Beatniks, the hippies, the punks, the goths, the skinheads so shut your goddamn mouth and do some research before talking.

Lonelypacifist6:
It is a contractual agreement! If she had won she'd have happily granted the interview, why did She sign the agreement if she can't keep up? Mental health is not an excuse if you've been paid, the media houses and investors have their own problems too but they Still provided her with a platform to showcase her talents.
From the comments here i now know why women set up business and it fails, within years too much emotion when rational decisions are to be taken. They should sue her.

You are definitely not OK. Not at all. Everything is money to you. Imagine saying mental health is not an excuse. You aren't human at all. You guys are evil. The same thing Michael Jackson shouted till the media and fans killed him. You are evil. These people are human too.

And imagine you saying she should not sign. Does she have any other option if she didnt sign? So, you want her passion and game taking away. I have said it, you are evil. With her, the investors are nothing too. It's not about the money alone. And if she doesnt start the campaign against it, all others will be continously subjected to the same issue. Contracts are meant to be changed when bad. Rules are meant to be changed when bad.

The same way Grammy and the entertainment industry make artists sign terrible deals. The same deal MJ signed with Sony. Kanye West complaining of same. Oh! Its contract. Why did they sign it? You are terrible.

Since the players started complaining about their mental health, what have they done? They were even saying they want to get her help. When they can put rules to protect them too if they care so it doesnt occur. They dont care. They prefer treating the victims instead of preventing it cos of their profit..

The same profit HIV AiD immume drugs manufacturers will never allow any research to cure it get to a reasonable end. The same profit that drove some wicked people to manufacture Covid-19 in their lab. Do you knw that evidences are coming out more that China is responsible? All about profit and power. MONEY!!!

I stand 100% with her. I am not a fan of hers, but I stand by her. People like you are too money conscious. Money money money. A beg! Take it easy with money. Take it easy.

If they let this slide then the whole system collapses. No one will be willing to do interviews and the media is not one anyone toys with. It is the heartbeat of commercialisation of sport.

On the other hand, the WTA of which she is a ranking member by her status should come to her aid and negotiate out a reprieve.

PeaceJoyLove:

Ogbeni, is it normal for the underlined to happen because you are making profit?

Please, don't ever try the emotion thing with me. If I put emotion there, I will tear you to pieces cos of the points I will bring. Leave my or your emotion aside, and face the facts we are talking about. I have just asked question. Answer...if you cannot, leave it. Leave my emotiona dnyour emotion out of it.

Then she should turn down her earnings which are largely generated from sponsorships from these same media outlets.

Only then will we take her serious.

Cos you can't hate the hen but eat their eggs.

You can't bite the hands that feed you.

Bring on whatever points you claim to have. I'd take them out one after the other.

She is fighting for change, and I will not be surprised if she finds support amongst her peers and gets that change eventually.

I now accept her as a suitable successor in my mind for my darling Serena.

Go, Osaka! Go Girl!

When she was coming up in the game did she not do media tour with others so what changed now? Media tour isn’t only when u win bt any outcome u are obligated to participate. It has to do with good sportsmanship also.

I hope she is not arrogant as Venus and Selena Williams never had such issues.

zxxtx:
I don’t know her but she’s so pretty

I bet on her virtual games almost every night to make money from sportybet

PeaceJoyLove:

Are you really OK?

I guess you need to really check yourself. Not abusing you, but you need to. This Buhari time has made you to not reason like a compassionate person. Really? Are you OK?

You should ask yourself this question because you're the one obviously acting weird, irrational and hysterical here. How did my submission cause this kind of provocation or warrant this response? You're obviously not Okay, my friend

You have mental summmersault. You're all over the thread asking "is everything about money" to justify her shunning the interview. If truly it isn't about money, why can't she pull out of the event so she can have her mental health taken care of and still miss out of the money she would have got from the event but she wanted to get the money and shy from her contractual duty.

You're a dubious person.

You're ignorant. It is a contractual agreement and you're still asking is it by force? If she doesn't get paid her due money under contract, can you also say is it by force that she should be paid?

Do you know how much these people earn? You expect them to still choose which part of the contractual agreement to follow or not while receiving such money which are made possible by various brands she's trying to rob by shunning interviews. So many brands are displayed during these interviews. It is about money here, for the brands, for the media and also Osaka.

If she can't stand the heat of interviews, she should quit the sport and look for another sport where she can choose to grant interviews or not.

PeaceJoyLove:

Laws are meant to be challenged. Rules are meant to be enforced to change for better. And contracts can be rules out when it is damaging people. Humanity compassion and goodwill always win at the end of the day because it is the right thing to do. Maybe you should ask FIFA why life contracts were banned when African desperate and illiterate players were lured into it. Go and ask what happened to Taribo West and Phillip Osondu. At last FIFA stopped it. The issue is that the clause is mandatory meaning they are forced to do it.

Is it by force to give interview? Na by force? And if you think it is where you make money, then, remove media hostility which is having negative issue on players. Imagine one guy saying bodly Serena William has walked out crying after interviews. And it is normal to the guy. Are you guys OK?

PeaceJoyLove:

Spoken like a woman, If I'm not money conscious the level of comfort I've achieved today won't be available to me, Like i said the courts don't run on emotions compassion or whatever emotional stuff you're spilling a business is a business a contract is a contract, she should honour it else the media would grind her like minced meat and spit her out then that "Mental health" she's crying about would become a REAL problem for her.

Yes yes Yes everything is a about money to me, but you know what? unlike Naomi, i keep to agreements, do i feel like paying my workers at the Month? No, but I do! Do i feel like sacking them for every professional Infraction? Yes, but do i sack them no! Because labour laws says i can't. I love money! and it's only fair because I have one life to live and with money I'll live it to the fullest. Do you know how bad it is for me? When i divorced my wife I didn't pay her a nickel! Because i worked for my wealth and someone shouldn't have half of it because we were married! I temporarily transferred my belongings to my cousin. The Only thing she got was a piece of land In remote Ogun state. That's How much i love money! So if we're in a binding agreement, and you cannot Keep up, best be sure I'll get my pound. There i Said it!

SegFault:
I know it was an agreement but wat the actual Bleep, capitalism slowly turning everyone to slaves.

All Isms are inherently evil but capitalism is a lesser of them

lol
Not watching the French Open. F*** France.

The US Open and Wimbledon are coming up. I hope Coco does well. I hope the Williams sisters take it easy on their bodies and just have fun.

I hope she comes out of this well.

Osaka's story was so clear and direct but organizations are speaking English.

How will any sport whatsoever improve because the athletes grant media interview?

Why must anyone have to talk about their darkness before the whole world and as part of entertainment for that matter?

They should think of better ways to make money and not keep ruining people's life.

I think Osaka needs all the help she can get. This nonsense must stop!

michresakidjo:

None of them are really evil, it's greed that has destroyed them.

I love this baby.

This shouldn't cause a ruckus though.

They can always arrange a press conference a week later after the player must have calmed down and resolved her feelings and even gotten professional help.

Love you Osaka.

PeaceJoyLove:

Paying so they can make more profit without considering who is hurt. Competitions are also for relaxation which is good for the health.

Are you saying it is justified the mental health of the participants is ignored because of the profit of the people who invested for the sake of fun and relaxation of others?

Are you saying because she is making money in the completions, she should not protect herself from the insanity of the media who isn't checked because they have super power and can go against anyone just like they showed us how they dealt with Trump?

I do not know your age, but would you stop your daughter or sister from participating because she has an "obligation" to answer bull crap and disgusting questions from the media?

I understand her. When a big shot like her goes after the media, and we rally to support her, they will be protected more from the swords of the media. If not, the media will keep inflicting serious wounds in their hearts, and no one will do anything. The act is not to be rude, but to save lives.

Sir, can you see what she is trying to do?

This epistle just to justify deficiency. ? This attitude of hers shows that she is not a professional in the business of tennis.

Let's assume the tennis body owe her after the match, what would have be your opinion ?

She want a nonsense change for her personal benefit.....business don't grow that way......she is even selfish and self-centered by trying to burn the bridge that lifted her this high......what the fate of prospective up coming tennis players with this drama ?

Deotey wilder was beating blue black by fury yet grated interview with the blood gushing out of his ear and nose.

Anthony Joshua was humiliated after much bragging yet honour an interview.

Mike Tyson, lewis, nadal, djokovic, ashafa powel, shawn crowfod. tyson gay, idowu philips, pep gadiola, josh morinho etc are world champion that were once humiliated before yet do the needful because they understand the business side of their profession.

Why is her case different ?

ninocia18:
Hmm... I really get what she's getting though. But there's two sides to this. If it's part of what she signed up for, then she's has to meet the obligations. On the other hand, sport associations globally are all about the money and don't care about the athletes because they feel the money they get covers up for all the stress and things they go through. So in a way, I stand with her and I think the other athletes who aren't all about the money would stand with her too.

Show me one player in the game who isn’t in for the money.

Is it normal to humiliate one in the name of interview and engaging the media? Is it right? Even she lost, must the media add to it? The evidences are there, thenrule must be changed.

It is the money you are looking at. That others endured it doesnt make it right. Slavery was normal at a point, but someone started campaigning against it. Oh! Why did the africa sellers collect money. Its money paid and investment of the buyers. Bla bla bla bla. Someone with sense and passion for the oppressed must start. I stand with a leader with vision like that because I see the future too.

Bro/Sis, sorry you cannot see the future. Its today only you see. And it's what the investors want you to see. This is why politicians manipulate many because they see today and not the future. They manipulate many also cos majority do not know what is right. What is right is what is common to many. Is what is right what the institution adopt? No! What is right is really in the greater good for humanity.

Stop missing up politics with entertainment. Every entertainer is charged with maintaining the spirit of sportsmanship and see every turn of event as what it is. Entertainments like sports are designed to be Zero-sum games in nature meaning that your win is as a result of my loss.
The interviews are also there to show to the world that it was just a game afterall and not war. Have you ever wondered why players shake and hug their opponents before a match? It is done to show that the game does not dispict hate, war nor racial abuse grounds. Interviews after games are arranged even months before a match and is not meant for the winners nor the losers. You can decide not to grant an already scheduled interview by claiming ignorance or just go your way and come back to apologize later and no one will kill you. This have happened a lot and done by big players like Ronaldo, Messi, Tiger Woods, Nadal etc and no one is fined.
But coming out to fight them in the open for something that can be done more professionally is wrong. Is this not the same girl that got famous by defeating Serena Williams in a grandslam tournament and granted an inyerview smiling and Serena did hers crying throughout but she was okay because she won.
There was a time when players were killed or brutalised for losing games and these interviews were introduced to give the losers fair hearing to explain what happened whether its a mistake or caused by an external influence, it was not created to humiliate anyone. Mind you not every question asked by an interviewer must be answered they can also be ignored by you saying you don't wish to discuss that currently and no one will be offended. Without it sportsmen and women will be killed at will.

I like this comment cos you made some valid points I will use to re-explain my position. First, if you follow my previous points, I wrote that the end is not to ban or stop interviews. Yes, you are right, investors must make money, but they need to tweak how interviews are conducted to protect the participants. The rate of humiliation must be reduced. Humiliating players should be limited to the pitch, and not carried to the dressing room or to the interview. Hope you get me. Listen, they will not tweak it until they are forced to. And calling them out publicly is the way out. People who are making money do not want to change. You must force them to. Can you see how ManU fans are forcing the Americans? But then, this may not be the best example because looking at Arsenal...lol. So, I'm tempted to say that the fact the owner of ManU isn't a British is a reason for the action.

Now, let me address your second point in red. Let us not focus on the person. That Serena can bear it does not make it right. This is my point. And Serena herself could not take it. She released her emotion seriously. Let us ask ourselves: what did the organizers do to address the humiliation? Absolutely nothing. This is my point. Not until someone comes out to tackle it. And mind you, this babe is still hot. If it was Serena boycotting interviews, yeah....it would be like....hahaha...she is an old wine already losing. Gat it? But this babe is still hot. And listen, she had said she was going to do it before the tournament started. And she kept to her words. I would do it too. If I was in the right mood, I would go. If not, damn it. Why is she doing it? She is hot and at the top. It is only she who can start and make the change. I respect her for this. Serena cannot do it now cos she is already losing form, and not at her best again. And the issue is this...She should have done it during her time, but she enjoyed the wins. So, I respect this babe more. Let us be realistic. Look at it from my perspective.

My point again is this: what is common doesn't mean it is right. The right way to look at it is this: is it right? Of course, it is not right. Therefore, let them do something about it now. And Only this babe can do it, and I respect her for standing on her ground. She might win this tournament but she is risking everything knowing she can be disqualified. Let us support her. Respect to her!

You didn't answered my question nor counter the logical business angle of the act of interview after a match.

I have answered all your questions. Its purely logic. I answered your questions with a question. You mentioned many names: Wilder, Joshua, Tyson, and bla bla bla who all lost but went through the humiliation of the interview after that in the ring. And I have answered you. The answer is that: Is it right to go through another humiliation during the interview after that of the ring? Why must it be a force? Why must it be immediate after the fight? Someone lost and you must interview him or her by force? Are you ok at all?

If the person can do the interview ....fine! If not fine! But if the person must appear, there should be a law to protect such from further humiliation. Just a comment and maybe screening out questions the person cannot answer at that particular time must be done. 2 weeks or a month after, a proper interview can be scheduled again to tell the story. They can even make more money from it. But must they humiliate him or her further immediately? Use your head. It is not money only. Sorry...mr investor. And your money isn't there. Rubb.ish!

Everything has solution. If it is not right to humiliate anyone further, then something must be done to correct it. If you were in Tyson's position, I would support you.

Now, talking about the investors and their losses. Do they lose money because an injured boxer who is unconscious cant take part in the interview immediately? Does it affect the game and their profits? I am curious to know. One is injured physically and cant take part, and the other is emotionally injured. What's the difference? One is excused, but the other is forced. Do they train them to be immume to emotional stress? Are sportsmen and women trained to shut their emotion?

Oga, use your brain.

Goodbye a beg. A no fit explain further if you cannot reason in the right direction.
