Let’s understand who Naomi Osaka really is. She is a tennis player, born in Japan to a Haitian father and Japanese mother and moved to the USA when she was three and has lived here ever since, now living in a $14,000,000.00 mansion in California. Last year when she became “woke” she wore a BLM mask during the US Open and gave interviews, reiterating her hatred for America, actually calling it GENOCIDAL. When she won and received her trophy, her black rapper boyfriend came to the podium with her and during the event, flipped the bird to the cameras. This year she has “stepped back” from tennis because of mental stress and issues.
Her mental health would improve and stress on her would be reduced if she focused her time, energy and thoughts on her tennis career. How does publicly embracing the controversial BLM and controversial issues during her tennis matches help her achieve her tennis goals? It doesn’t.
