Naomi Osaka withdraws from Roland Garros

If we lived in a sensible world someone close to her would sit her down and tell her she can't have her cake and eat it.

Want to fight for racial equality worldwide? Don't sign sponsorship deals with corporatons who expoit 3rd world citizens for cheap labour.

Want to make people aware of your social anxiety and depression? Don't do media appearances on Ellen, GQ, Vogue or co-host the Met Gala.

Want to be a pro tennis player? Don't refuse to answer questions for 20 minutes after a match.

Of course none of this will happen and instead the people around her will tell her that not only can she have her cake and eat it but that she's a hero for doing so.
