"I just told her I didn't respect her as a competitor," Navarro said of the exchange, per AFP. "I think she goes about things in a pretty cut-throat way. It makes for a locker room that doesn't have a lot of camaraderie, so it's tough to face an opponent like that, who I really don't respect."
"She told me she doesn't know how I have a lot of fans," Zheng said. "It looks like she's not happy with my behavior toward her. If she's not happy about my behavior, she can come and tell me. I would like to correct it to become a better player and a better person."
Zheng clarified that she wasn't upset by Navarro's words. "I'm glad that she told me that," Zheng continued. "I will not consider it an attack because she lost the match."
this is one of three times a US tennis player has acted like a sore loser in the past several days:
Danielle Collins scratches her match due to "injury" as she was losing. After her Polish opponent congratulated her on her career, Collins calls her "insincere" before walking away. She then played doubles 2 hours after her supposed injury.
Coco Guaff argues with chair umpire after losing to Croatia, says "this always happens to me" while crying. (i think some people are debating if her gripe was somewhat fair, but i feel like implying the judge is always out to get you is definintely doing too much. at least she didn't disrespect her opponent 🤷)
Emma Navarro is the daughter of billionaire Ben Navarro owner of subprime Credit card specialist Credit One Bank.
lmao holy shit i though the comment in the video was like a joke or hyperbole 😭
honestly i already just assumed most of the US team are nepo babies whose parents afford top of the line private training
Well, it's tennis, so yes
But also generally yes for other sports
It's going to of course be incredibly rare for a teen or early 20 year old, the peak for a lot of these sports, to come from poverty and compete at the Olympics. It requires training from young childhood that parents in poverty simply cannot afford, proper nutrition to ensure the kid grows up as healthy and strong as possible, guaranteed free time especially as they hit later teens and 20s the ability to never need to work a job, and other stuff like buying the best and proper equipment, travel costs to compete, etc.
Maybe someone should tell the hogs if they want to win all the gold medals they gotta provide the basic needs for every citizen and offer fully free, government sponsored training for the most athletic kids to get to the Olympic level.
We tried to create a society of super elite athletes and, oops, we got communism! Oh no!
The nationalism among the US population is absolutely insane right now and the only people that can see it are communists. Even a chunk of the people calling themselves anarchists are incredibly nationalistic.
Combine this with the literal infantilisation of the population that has been deliberately performed turning them all into overgrown children and this behaviour is the result. They pick up their ball and stomp off home when they're losing because they can't process anything other than the notion that they should automatically win.
Can't wait for the 2028 Olympics that will take place in LA.
I don't remember this many news stories about bigotry and poor sportsmanship in past olympics, is it just my shitty memory?
USSR women are so roided
Are you saying it's propaganda that there was a lot op doping among athletes from AES countries?
no idea, i imagine it's not really something western mainstream media would report much on, i only found out because i'm following that chinese netizen tiktoker
i wouldn't have even known there were two more examples if i didn't lose the video and try to find it again by searching "american tennis player sore loser" just for three different cases from the past week to pop up lmfao
I think we've been reaching a fever pitch for far right nationalist movements in a lot of the "west" fairly quick over the last couple of years, notable that the big whiners all have a openly anti-immigrant nationalist party either in power or as the opposition.
Consider that there are two boxers in the Olympics that were banned by the IBA, but only the one that knocked out the Italian one is a news story.
Americans aren't good at sportsmanship and suck at losing.
Australia has this problem too.
They're gunna try and character assassinate Pan Zhanle for winning the 100m free the same way they went after Sun Yang. Australians think they own the pool
Edit: probably better to say they are already going after Pan in the same manner, but my man's unflappable
Americans aren't good
at sportsmanshipand suckat losing.
Holy fuck, America, please, at least one American actually, can't ask it of everyone, have a shred of dignity and or self respect. Like, damn, you know the image that's been projected pretty much for.the last decade had been of a pathetic whiny dysfunctional adult baby? I'm Canadian and I can see that internationally America is that 4chan co-worker who you have to humor cause of his mass shooter energy who is almost 40 and won't shut up about bakugan. Just absolute unstable losers, the kid at the playground who realized he could keep being cringe if he was super violent and would keep Naruto running well into high school cause he hospitalized a kid in 2nd grade for saying Mankey wasn't the best pokemon. The energy of the absolute worst dweeb who became a permanent Wal mart employee who lives at home until 50 but thinks they're hot shit cause they run that electronics section with an iron fist. Fuck America and fuck Americans, nation of redditor danger geeks. A country of punishers
who is almost 40 and won't shut up about bakugan
Like half the trans women here (and like 30% of the site) just got hit with the wildest of strays
No idea what that is and I'm not looking it up.
For fuck sakes mods, give me time to fix the link. The robot literally just told me.
I didn't try but it seems like being able to edit a comment that was removed by mod would make it real hard for a mod to keep a comment removed. Someone could just hit edit and repost what was removed
it is
also a heads up, this bot is stuck on a comment and a post and has been spamming the modlog for hours
Mod deleted comments probably shouldn't be editable for reasons I posted below and assumed they weren't for those reasons.

If we're talking about the Olympics, Simone Biles and Suni Lee seemed pretty cool and had good sportsmanship
yeah i honestly really love simone, especially with how open she is with mental health struggles
a lot of reactionaries including JD Vance called her "weak and selfish" and practically acted like she committed treason for dropping out of the 2020 olympics due to mental health. her anxiety literally caused her to lose control mid-air and almost not land on her feet, which could've easily left her paralyzed
after winning yesterday she posted a "mental health matters" thing with her meditating before performing. she said she'd been "shaking" from anxiety at the olympic village, and went to therapy hours before getting gold. genuinely felt inspired hearing how she overcomes anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma from sexual abuse (larry nassar, the US gymnastics team' doctor who had assaulted over 200 women and girls)
If you look at her Wikipedia page, it uses three different sources for hateful comments in "Russian state-owned media", and nothing dedicated to stuff at home...
Show
insane, she was literally being attacked on fox news while the deputy AG of texas called her a "childish, selfish national embarrassment" and the lieutenant governor of NC called her a "weak little gymnast" and a "quitter." charlie kirk straight up called her a "selfish sociopath and a shame to the country" while conservatives ran headlines like this:
Show
Yes, but certainly not exclusively. This is a notch on the whiny ass loser behavior board and yall seem less scary each time you do shit like this.
I agree emotionally but this I'd a typical example of an American passing their own responsibility onto other nations. You live there, you're the one in spitting distance from other Americans. Hawk huah it

the average american has the demeanor of the bully character in a disney channel original movie
Meanwhile the Koreas and China are being super friendly to each other getting selfies and such.
what's your point? my point was that positive vibes were happening all over. america is full of drama queens.
The Olympics is the highest level of competition and takes a ton of training and talent to even be considered eligible even if you’re a rich brat like this yank. It would be a different situation if the Chinese player was cold in every situation, but who wouldn’t be cut throat DURING the match?
hope your next burger is overcooked and has too much ketchup on it :cry-ab-it:
Americans and throwing temper tantrum when they fucked around and got found out never stops being hilarious to me.
