There is bound to be heaps of negativity on an Osaka article but before that;
Actor Anthony Mackie hosted the show from The Rooftop at Pier 17 at the Seaport. He singled out Scripps National Spelling Bee winner Zaila Avant-garde during his monologue. The 14-year-old from Louisiana is a basketball prodigy.
“This kid can do anything,” Mackie said. “She can hit a stepback like Luka Doncic and then spell Luka Doncic right the first time.”
Not to take away from Osaka, but this is an example of what the young can aspire to and what must be protected as well.

Returns?
to return, you have to go away first.

What are these awards !?
and why should we care ?

The ESPYs are ESPN (the 24-hour sports network) awards
People don't have to care; it's just what's most popular on TV

She is an inspiration. A world class athlete with class. A woman with the courage to have a respectful voice. We need a hundred more of her.

Genuinely confuses me, shes desperate for privacy, but a new netflix documentary? Is she playing the world or being forced into things?
I want her to really step back from everything, this kind of thing will trigger the hate more and it becomes a vicious cycle.
Shes clearly either playing the world or got real issues and if its the second her father needs to get off the gravy train and protect her.

Did Naomi Osaka ever leave the spotlight?
I am inspired by Naomi Osaka as a sports, tennis professional.
I am less enamored with Naomi Osaka insistence on inflicting her/a political agenda into/onto a tennis court.

Please allow me make up your own mind.......

@lostrune
thanks for the explanation.
that would explain why it’s dominated by American sports.
& why Most non-Americans’ care factor is zero
