Serena Williams And Others Show Support To Naomi Osaka After She Withdraws From The French Open

June 1, 2021 / Posted by:

23-year-old tennis player Naomi Osaka is a tennis legend-in-the-making (I believe that beating the GOAT Serena Williams is pretty much your FastPass to the front of the line). She was previously scheduled to compete in the 2021 French Open, which began this week and will run until June 13th. There were no doubt plenty of French Open competitors that were nervously sweating into their tennis shoes last week at the thought of serving across from Naomi, who is a two-time Australian Open and two-time US Open champion. But they’re not anymore, because Naomi has pulled out after one match, in protest of the French Open’s rules regarding press conferences.

The NBA, WNBA, MLB, MLS, And Naomi Osaka All Went On Strike To Protest Against Police Brutality

The Milwaukee Bucks were supposed to play the Orlando Magic in the NBA playoffs last night, but the game did not go on, because the Bucks decided to strike against systematic racism and police brutality, like the police killing of Breonna Taylor and the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man who has been left partially paralyzed after Officer Rusten Sheskey shot him seven times as he walked to his car in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The NBA was in a quarantine bubble because of the pandemic, but it was systemic racism that popped that shit open and players had it. After the Bucks’ announcement, the NBA announced that all three playoff games would not go down last night and would be postponed. That led to the WNBA, a handful of Major League Baseball teams, some Major League Soccer teams, and tennis star Naomi Osaka all using their voices and fame to bring attention to police brutality. Kenny Smith of TNT’s Inside The NBA also walked out in solidarity. Meanwhile, side-eyes were thrown at the NHL for going on with their games. But they did put up an “End Racism” graphic on a screen during a game in Toronto and the announcer called for their community to stand up for social justice.

Tennis deity and proud catsuit wearer Serena Williams lost the US Open women’s singles final to Naomi Osaka yesterday, but the real drama occurred when chair umpire Carlos Ramos penalized Serena for cheating during the match. Ramos claimed Williams was receiving coaching. Things escalated rather quickly from there. Serena eventually labeled Caros a “thief,” and called out sexism in tennis. She also ended up owing 17K in fines. It got very real at Arthur Ashe Stadium yesterday. Continue reading
