BRATISLAVA:
How many people are on stage talking to people though they are introverts? How many other people have to overcome their fears and not hide behind the screen of "mental health" just because they don't like to do something? The more people appropriate things to "mental health" that aren't issues, the more they trivialize real mental health cases.

She's just being ridiculous and playing on wokery because she knows BLM will help her voice that ridiculousness. Why isn't she too introverted to play in public?
I have to disagree here,you don't know the depression she is battling with,she knows that first hand and I believe that she should put herself first and take care of her health.We saw how the media damaged Diana and even Meghan Markle.

Do not bring down someone's mental health struggle depression can lead to suicide if not we'll attended to.I believe she should take care if herself first before any other thing.Tennis authorities were just being silly instead of supporting her and helping her welfare she exited the tournament which became the ultimate F,cck you.

Her career is not dead.


When she has dealt with her mental health she will bounce back if she commits suicide tomorrow it is people like you that will type rest in peace.

Give the girl some space let her take care of herself
It would be if she continues like this, thinking they she can make them bend the rules for her, People have "Mental health"issues everyday and don't make a fuss over it. why didn't she respond to them when they reached out to her for assistance? Like i said she should learn to deal with failures so she wouldn't make a fool of herself throwing tantrum.

I don't know if they reached out to her if they did she has her reasons for not accepting it.

That said the rule is stupid and things like this should drive for a change.

Also mental health is not a small thing that you will call it a "fuss" because you don't value your health mentally doesn't mean others should be like you.When people downplay mental health it could lead to suicide and even murder it is a terrible thing that should be taken seriously.When people are battling their inner demons they should be given treatment and not shunned or told not to make a fuss about it.It should not be a normal everyday thing.

I have no idea what you meant by failures or what your last statement meant.

Wao

I’m going to miss her.
I have no option than looking out for Coco Gauff then.

Why do they have to mandate it for every player to appear before the press to speak?

This is a player I prefer seeing and enjoying her dexterity with the racket rather than her verbal response.

The players are aware of the rules before each tournament it is same in the NBA. The media is important in sports. Where does she think the price money comes from?

Someone is dealing with depression and wants space to battle her mental health and you are calling it entitlement are you normal undecided
do you even know how the system works? Any cash she's making today is because of the media. That is the rule. You must play by it. She's just trying to distract us from her Terrible record on Clay. I've seen big stars suffer heartbreaking losses but they still talk to the media.

You are just making silly assumptions.
She should be left to deal with her issues and given the support she needs when she gets that she won't have a problem with the media but for now they should shut up and let her be.

Rules are made to change,also employers should take concern for the health and safety of their workers.Cash should not overule her health no no no if she is having suicidal thoughts tomorrow the media won't use their so called giving her cash to save her.

Naomi did the right thing everyone is different and has what they can take because you have seen big stars talk to the media doesn't mean Naomi should.

Press briefing is part of the gig. Tennis is not just a sport, it's a complete entertainment. The organisers have factored all the revenue spinning quarters together and press briefing is just part of it.

She may be penalised further!

Women never fail to disappoint me, You can never have a decent conversation with them. The organisers offered to help, she didn't respond, that was the perfect time to table her displeasure. All it just theatrics from someone who couldn't handle losing. She lost the last game.

Keep being disappointed and by the way you didn't have to show your sexism by bringing my gender into this.Try to have conversations without trying to denigrate my gender.
You are the one failing at a decent conversation by being sexist.Also it is only on nairaland that Naomi is being villified every other sane person has shown some humanity but the frustrated Nigerians here are a different breed who think everything is black and white so we should all act the same.


Care to tell me the help she was offered? because from what I remember they slammed her.

Below is her statement incase you didn't get to read it you are not okay if you think this is about winning or losing quit making silly assumptions there is nothing she has done to point to such silly conspiracy.What last game did she lose?she won it if she had lost it there would be no need to withdraw from the tournament since she would already be out.

Reading through her writeup really tells alot about her in terms of been an introvert really , not everyone can face the media/public in term of speech . At times we need to understand each other personality,because she didn't speak to the press she was fined,that's pure nonsense ,is it by force to speak? This white people self get them own yeye problem saa ahnahn undecided
is this her first time? Was she facing the press before? Abeg let her go and sleep. Modern day athletes are just spoilt brats

I Stated a fact you labeled it Sexism, What if I'm a sexists what are you going to do about it. It's not only nairaland that she's been vilified, people that know what it takes to invest in a business would see the problem with her not granting interviews, brands and media houses have paid for! it's a deal a legal and binding contract she's has to do it. She won't be missed. But best believe she'll bag legal cases.

Because it's of rule of the game and every fucking player must play according to the dictate of the rules of the game.

bcoz of few titles she has won, her head swollen up, thinking she is the one to tell authority how to play the game.

I trust football authority such individual will learn his or her lesson in hard way.
Dont mind her...
She was able to gain social media sentiments with the so called mental health. The annoying part is most ppl supporting her cannot even define menta health....lol

There is nothing factual about women not being able to hold decent conversations that is prejudice so it is sexist.You can keep being sexist but don't bring your sexism to me and call baseless assumptions facts.

She has a problem to deal with when she is done dealing with it she will give the press time for now they should leave her alone and respect her privacy she mustn't talk to them or answer their stupid questions most of the time.Business should not take precedence over one's health or well being you don't make money at the expense of someone she is not fine and should be left to fight her inner demons and not be villified so show some humanity.

People have supported her the people who support her are more than the ones thinking of money,Oyinbo prioritizes mental health awareness and she will be fine.

She didn't ask for anyone to miss her what she wants is her privacy and point of correction she didn't lose her last game so your assumptions of losing and winning made no sense to begin with

Mental health is one of the easiest things to define.It is a state of well-being when someone is not well and is going through stress,trauma,deep thoughts or overthinking and what have you that person is having mental health issues

Value your mental health like Naomi Osaka does and yes sane people will support her because if she doesn't speak out and gets the help she needs if she commits suicide or goes to drug abuse na your type go first condemn her.

Tennis No. 2 seed, Naomi Osaka was fined $15000 in the wake of
her infringement of mandatory media interviews at Roland-Garros.

Naomi Osaka announced last week via social media, that she would not participate in the mandatory media interviews at Roland-Garros 2021.

Today, the top seed has announced she will withdraw from Roland Garros, citing mental health reasons



Naomi Osaka

Osaka has won four Singles Grand Slams and is the reigning Champion at the US Open and the Australian Open
She has been suffering depression since 2018 because of that useless witch called Serena.

..i love osaka..i hope she becomes the next serena....

But..she is damaging her career.she did this nonsense at the last WTA event last year just before the US open where she was about to play victoria azeranka but withdrew from the final before the match....

Now again she is fighting for a baseless cause..what the idiot dont know is that its not the organisers that pay her,its the audience..especially through t.v subscriptions and they need stories from events they subscribed for. her major financiars would now reconsider their contrct with a gheto idiot who will now stay out of limelight...alot of new starts rise up in women tennis so she will not be missed...

She is a big fool and she eill regret it
God forbids her being the next Serena....she will be the only Naomi.....she can never be like that wicked woman

If I get you right, you are blaming her for not overcoming her fears? Some one says she has mental health issues from having to deal with a particular aspect of her life and all you could come up with is "she is hiding behind a screen". Probably your kind will be happier if she starts taking drugs like some Hollywood stars do so she can "deal with it".

And just so you know, it is those little things that you feel people appropriate to mental health" that more often than not leads to full scale depression.

Sports is one of the ways you deal with stuffs

Better go study well. I stand with Osaka on this.
no coach will ever tried that oga, except with very strong reason, when morinho wanted to tried the cheat by sending assistant to the media he met stiff opposition and back down

any day any day Alex face media until retirement

This isn't about introvertism, you are trivializing the issue. She said she has suffered from severe depression for the past 4 years. Also, she isn't black.

I agree with you on some aspects. Introversion is the umbrella many shy/suffering from SAD decide to hide under. Its much easier to say "Well... I'm just an introvert" than to say you actually have a problem interacting with people.

refused to talk to the media,nahhh. The only media Ferguson didn't talk to then was the guy representing BBC, you won't talk to premier league official Media team,the fine you go chop kpeere,Osaka played the victim and lost,she should retire for all I care
Played the victim? Lol. You think the Grand Slam hasn't lost out. At times it is better to put yourself in someone's shoes. There is no weakness in it. Lady has been depressed and mentioned that media conferences affect her mental health. You are suggesting she is playing the victim. Go watch the US Open crowd after she beat Serena in the final. It was after that match I finally lost all respect for Serena. I remember when Serena played Steffi Graf. Steffi was gracious during the game. Serena pah.

On Sir Alex, It wasn't only BBC. Dude used to refuse to take conferences. Apart from the one below, there was another one I recall after playing Real Madrid.

Naomi Osaka is black. Her complexion is a pointer. Her father is from Haiti. Hmm maybe that explains some behaviours and reactions from people.

To help people with the term of introvert. The definition in psychology is below. I am an introvert.
People who are introverted tend to be inward turning, or focused more on internal thoughts, feelings and moods rather than seeking out external stimulation.
