Naomi Osaka's personal apparel collection underscores star power

Why some people are jealous to Naomi-Chan?

Jealousy is source of motivation. Naomi-Chan, there are many more good things coming to your way.

looks like there are a lot of people that don’t like a strong bi-racial woman speaking her mind....

Naomi Osaka, Lewis Hamilton, Serena Williams, have a achieved a level of supreme achievement, not through heritage or the hue of there skin, but through a hard won devotion to and aim to achieves the extraordinary

Stay out of politics, leave well alone, it will eat you alive.

There is a irony, that prevaricates the necessity to associate a negative response (down vote).

To log in etc etc,

Downvote is a positive, it enthuses debate.

Naomi Osaka, is leveraging, with the aid and power a sports celebrity platform provides, with the added bonus of social media without any recourse to a accountably or mandate.

This is the fag end of populism/commercialism, a cynical belief that celebrity trumps, (now there's a name) democracy.

There's no doubt that the downvotes are racially motivated. That's all some people have left, and of course, being a strong and successful female role model terrifies them.

Dont know who in the heck you are referring to here when you talk about "Hamilton"

Lewis Hamilton of Formula 1, who has also faced bigotry and abuse.

I can’t help but notice that the majority of comments are positive but have down votes. Also that comments giving her the side-eye get a majority of up votes.

I wonder (I think probably) if it’s because she’s 1/2 black, raised abroad with the audacity to speak out. That somehow she’s not Japanese.

admittedly, her spoken Japanese is not great. But nationality is not a race, a skin color or a language ability.

Personally , I am in awe of her athleticism and Refreshed by her honest humanism.

Keep it up Naomi-chan!

The nature of tennis, is the skill and excellence, demonstrated within an individual willingness to succeed at all odds

So to inspire the next generation to pick up the racket emulate Naomi Osaka.

Do you seriously believe and contend that politics plays a part?

Not true. Many start their lives from a point of privilege like members of a royal or imperial family. Those born into super rich families like Trump for instance.

You dont get it, and are just trying to avoid the obvious.

Osaka and Hamilton were not born into privileged families.

Dont know who in the heck you are referring to here when you talk about "Hamilton" as she has one sister, and her name is Mari!

Oh and her parents names are Tamaki Osaka and Leonard François. And PLEASE learn to read, as I wrote

If you are trying to allude or infer that she grew up from nothing, you are sadly very, very, wrong! She may not have grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, but her parents were FAR from poor!

Most of Osaka's income comes from set of lucrative sponsorship deals, including with automaker Nissan, All Nippon Airways and Nike,

This will sound like hating but it sounds like both Nissan and ANA are getting big taxpayer bailouts. When this happens, celebrity endorsements should be at the back of the line regarding how that money is then used.

She started from zero and like Hamilton has earned her success.

Dont forget, EVERYONE on the planet started from zero!

If you are trying to allude or infer that she grew up from nothing, you are sadly very, very, wrong! She may not have grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, but her parents were FAR from poor!

Lucky for her people still find hitting a ball back and forth over a net so compelling.

Sad to see all the negativity and haters, just like those who hated on another proud Black sports star recently - Lewis Hamilton.

Keep speaking up for what you believe in, Naomi-chan. Proving on and off the court that Black Lives Matter.

I applaud her for her political stance and prowess on the court but you'll never catch me in a pair of Nike.

Nike has improved from 20 years ago but still underpays all the woman making its shoes. #Indonesian.woman.working.for.nike.livesmatter

I just want to appreciate three-time Grand Slam champion, Naomi Osaka  sporting excellence.

I really am impassive where Naomi Osaka political activism is concerned.

I want our elected politicians to be held accountable at the ballot box, not on the shallow , cynical, hollow medium associated with social media.

And certainly not tainting the sports arena.

"Naomi Osaka's personal apparel collection underscores star power"

No really? Who woulda thunk it?

Good for Naomi-chan! Great to hear she is now the highest paid sportswoman in history, another decade at the top and she will be sports first woman billionaire!

She definitely inspires me to buy Nike now.

Go Naomi-chan!! Win that next Major!

More power to her. Fame and fortune do not always go hand in hand, and I am happy for her that she has been able to cash in on both!

Good Luck Osaka

Kudos to her collection. I wish Naomi Osaka happiness and success.
