The hounding of Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka by some journalists is pointless and unpleasant 🖋️ michael2day for ipaperviews
The French Gram Slam’s spectators are among the sport’s worst behaved at the best of times. When they’re not snubbing low-profile matches to glug Veuve Clicquot in the hospitality tents, they’ll be in the stadium booing or looking for a chance to boo.
This year at Roland Garros, they’ve been spoiled for choice. They were able to boo all the players who knocked out, at a rapid pace, the home competitors. And then they were able to contribute to the complex world of geopolitics.
In any other crowd, the choice might have provoked a little cognitive dissonance – but at Roland Garros there were boos all around., the Belarusian player, who’s upped her game from inconsistent big hitter to calm purveyor of guided missiles, has handled herself with equal aplomb off the court, despite reporters asking her at every opportunity for her thoughts on the Ukraine conflict and the nasty Putin-supporting regime in her own country.,” she told reporters, after the umpteenth question.
The media’s hounding of Sabalenka at the French Open isn’t only pointless and unpleasant; it doesn’t make any sense. If the Putin-aligned Lukashenko regime is as evil as the press suggests , then why are reporters trying to make Sabalenka put her family back home at risk by railing against it?
