you see it with Berisha, O'Donovan etc.
i aint even for one second trying to step into their shoes, i cant ever think of being under such pressure, so no idea how id act.
but if theres one thing that bothered me about it, it was the post match comments, and the 'reaction' from the media. they asked her a bunch of softball questions and actually cheered her after the press conference was finished. i know its a small example, but this is why Trump gets such milage from demonising the press.
The press should have gone way harder on her, yet they all fear their access to the superstar will be revoked if they rock the boat (and they prob have Sir Alex to thank for that).
In the big moment, the ump cracked, the player cracked and the press cracked.
meanwhile Osaka cleaned house and no one gave her any respect either.
Shes the one who actually has a fair reason to gripe.
again, applying the rules makes this an easy argument.
