I am just thinking corona, as an athlete you need your lungs to work to the best of their ability, look how Kvitova suffers with her asthma. Good to show her bravery because she was both in the Minneapolis and LA ones.
Coco, Sloane, Keys and others have also been using their social platforms to condemn the murder.

Why should they do that? Kueng and Thao were not white. Remember Thao has a history of violence.

Look into the eyes of this psycho! Is it a coincidence that his name is Chauvin? A strange coincidence.

Anyway I think he would have killed many, any race.

It's just Trump's fault for maintaining the police system. Plus this Chauvin had 18 complaints. They still don't wake up! Only in the US... Only in the United Sates former bodyguards and nobodies become police officers!

Do you really think that out of 18 complaints all belonged to African Americans?

Good on Naomi, solidarity is good to show.

In America, where media is a money maker rather than an instrument for the people headlines are made to sell information. I guess corona is not a concern anymore as there is something that is going to sell more paper.

Oh hell yes Naomi ! I have generally found her personality to be boring but protesting gains her huge respect ! Did she go to Minneapolis specifically to protest then ?

Stay safe tennis pros and TFers in Washington DC!

Apparently there is a government-ordered blackout: lights are out, the orange bitch is in his PEOC (underground bunker) and the FBI has shutdown/jammed cellphone signals in the city center (to disband protesters) so phones will not work / no internet... no contact between people who are there and the outside world.... basically like your random North Korean neighborhood

The (white) tennis world's silence is deafening.

They're always happy to lecture us on how to save the planet (while ignoring their own weekly private jet flights) or to coordinate a Vogue photoshoot with hungry children in Africa, though. It's easy to have a perfect image when all you ever say is how nice are the people or how good the food is in between focus group approved family anecdotes.

Some of them can't even repost whichever beige statement their sponsors came up with.

Shots fired

LET'S GO NAOMI. I always thought she came across as too shy and pc but she has seemed to be growing into her own person in the past year or so, and it's awesome to see her not holding back here! If only she had responded to Isner directly though.

Isner on the other hand (n) 🤦‍♂️ I knew he was a Republican and seemingly not the brightest but this level of insensitivity is pos stuff. Sums up the scary extent to which the US is divided these days though.

The infamous Allie Kiick has actually had some decent tweets these past few days !

Bullshit.

Kiick is on the side of Lisa Raymond. The two were rubbing each others' back

Allie even ganged up / tag-teamed with Lisa against Chanda Rubin (who was arguing w/ Lisa), but then Allie got criticism so she tried to backtrack and appear innocent so came up with a comical "lost password" excuse to explain her previous anti act:

Derek Chauvin should get the electric chair on live TV. I want to see the life go out of his body like the whole world saw the life leave George Floyd's body. Maybe the outrage of finally seeing one single cop get his just due will shock us into change. Other three should be in jail a long time.

By the way, if there is no conviction, the country will burn to the ground
