Naomi Osaka cries after spectator tells her she sucks

[Roid Jones]

Bruh that was the funniest shyt to me. The black woman can do no wrong crew did more flipping than Simone Biles did during the Olympics

On one hand, it's 'black girl magic', 'we are fearless lionesses and warriors' and other messages of strength yet ANY adversity or critique the message then becomes 'protect us' and 'don't say anything negative about us pretty please' you can't have it both ways. Does advertising strength not imply you can handle challenges

I like her but it’s over. This will never stop and she just took a break. Her and cordae just need to chill. She won’t be able to last mentally.

this caused her to break down and cry mid match?

Bro she actually making it worse for herself.
Its some real wolves in this world who most likely short who stay with a hurtful joke in the chamber, cause they know you always gotta be ready and if they see a sliver of weakness they gon go in and make it a point to try to make you cry.
Yes I'm that wolf. And she make me wanna buy a ticket just to heckle her and I dont feel one way or the other bout her

 

[pete clemenza]

Wellness and self-help culture is a dead end street. Mental health isn’t a blanket excuse/catchall for every single person not being able to handle the rigors of life and their jobs. People talking about CAC energy, but what’s CACish to me is crumbling at the slightest bit of adversity and then crying about it while blaming everyone but yourself. I still haven’t gotten over the Olympics where clowns were penning all these insipid thinkpieces about black girl magic and how the incredible black women with their magical colorful hairstyles and logic defying talent that makes white people fear their black bodies were going to win all the gold medals. Then all the mascots they hyped up folded and flopped in embarrassing fashion, and the narrative immediately shifted to black women being brave heroes because they admitted they were headcases. Man, GTFOH with this misapplication of legitimate social justice and mental health concerns to boost whoever you’ve decided to project your weird fantasies on. It’s fukkin sports. Everyone out there is under intense pressure. Everyone out there is asked to do physically and mentally demanding shyt the average person can’t fathom. If you can’t deal with that, find the fukkin door. You can’t be both a public figure and bemoan the accompanying attention and scrutiny. You can’t have all the glory and none of the adversity. That’s CAC shyt to me. There are black men and women who are genuinely being ground down and dumped in the societal scrap heap day in and day out. My energy and empathy is with them. Someone heckling a wealthy athlete is unfortunate, not a grand tragedy. Black people deal with worse in their 9-5s in any given day. Toughen up or step away from the mic.

She's done. And maybe that's the best thing for her

Heckling has been around since the inception of competitive sports and it'll be here long after everyone in this thread has been turned into dust. Seeing the subtle push by some to completely eliminate visceral human responses in sporting events that isn't applause or outright silence is bizarre and a fools errand.

Sports by its' very nature invokes emotional resistance and/or acceptance. Us vs Them. My guy/girl vs your guy/girl. High school sports have heckling. I heard much worse inbounding the basketball in 10th grade than, "You suck." I can only imagine how the scrutiny is amplified the higher up you go and the more success you attain, but it's part of it. Nobody said it'd be easy, but neither is being a world class athlete. Just as in real life, some will love you while others will detest you solely because you're breathing the same air they are.

As an elite athlete, you have to be able to compartmentalize and perform, often amongst the backdrop of disparaging comments about your ability. It's what makes the truly great athletes great. The Williams sisters. Lebron James. Floyd Mayweather. Kobe Bryant. Muhammad Ali. It's not just their ability, but their mental toughness to battle through the adversity, both on the field and in the stands. If you can't handle it, you're in the wrong business. You can't take the fame & fortune & leave the criticism and negativity.

Whether she has lingering mental health issues or she simply can't handle the thought of someone disliking her, she's doing herself a disservice currently by continuing to subject herself to a profession that she currently lacks the mental fortitude to withstand. For her sake, I hope she figures it out because unless the world ends before her next match, hecklers aren't going anywhere.

Osaka just needs to hop on Warzone every night for a month. Let her hear people telling her to kill herself, "fukk you" and being called a fakkit or the n-word ten times a night will desensitize her to anything she'd hear at a tennis match.

I’ve been saying all of this for months now and people are finally starting to see the light. At some point and they’re slowly starting to now, are going to tire of her woe as me attitude and bring up the question of maybe the celebrity life isn’t for her. You can tell she’s been coddled or else someone would be bold enough to bring it up now.
