Naomi Osaka hits a return during her first-round French Open match against Patricia Maria Tig, at the Roland Garros stadium, in Paris, on May 30, 2021Naomi Osaka received support from her country Japan, her sponsors and leading sporting figures on Tuesday after the world number two withdrew from the French Open in a row about media duties, saying she had been suffering from depression and anxiety.
“The first thing to be considered is Ms. Osaka’s health. I wish her the earliest possible recovery,” Japan Tennis Association Executive Director Toshihisa Tsuchihashi said in a statement on Tuesday. Japanese sponsor Nissin Foods wished Osaka a quick recovery while the world’s biggest athletic shoe maker, Nike, lauded her for her courage in sharing her mental health experience.“Naomi Osaka’s decision reminds us all how important it is to prioritize personal health and well-being,” Mastercard, one of Osaka’s long list of sponsors, said in a statement.
Four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah told Sky News: “I’ve been in that scenario where you have 40 journalists, you’ve got the camera right in front of you, and it’s nerve-wracking, and you can only support her.”
Or we could simply allow these athletes to play each other, with no press present, no spectators present, no tv, no radio and see where that goes. When things get down to the basics, we pay her salary. No fans, no press, no money.
So we commodify sport, force the athletes who want to play at the elite levels to not only play their best, but also prop up the business side, then drop them if they just want to focus on the game and their health.
