No, I'm assuming every sport league in the world isn't doing the same thing for no reason. If it was one or two leagues, sure. The logical explanation is that it's effective. If there is evidence to the contrary please feel free to post it --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! |

| MZero 06/02/21 11:37:16 PM #140 | BlackJackCat posted... Do you know the reason why they continue to do it despite how there are more positive ways to promote the sport and pick a players brains? No, I don't run a sports league/tournament nor am I an extremely successful businessman. I assume though if the people who are successful at those things are all doing it there must be a reason, though. It seems like a few people in this topic are just casually dismissing them as worthless despite having no experience running such an operation. If anyone can point me to research showing that they don't help the sport than I will admit I'm wrong! I'm not saying I like them or think they're the best way to handle it, but it's part of the exchange of services between the players and the league or tournament. If enough players decided to challenge it they could probably negotiate something (Osaka by herself might even be enough tbh) --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! |

| MZero 06/02/21 10:51:59 PM #137 | BlackJackCat posted... I fail to see how giving bullshit journalists fodder for clickbait somehow puts money into the sport. I suppose you could argue any publicity is good publicity, but I doubt anyone who didn't know who Naomi Osaka was to begin with gives a damn about any drama around her. There are ways of promoting the sport that don't need to be this prone to toxicity, and it has been proven, within tennis, and without. So once again, this is only done because it's the done thing, and that's okay because...? If it was just tennis doing them, I could see the argument that they're stuck in the past. But there must be a reason every sport does this and tons of media outlets show up every time. Even during the pandemic they've set up virtual ones rather than cancel them. It doesn't make sense for every league/organization to be doing this if it's not benefitting their business. --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! |

| MZero 06/02/21 9:44:18 PM #130 | BlackJackCat posted... I mean I get what you're trying to say. I'm just saying it's a shit practice. It's not something that should be contractually obligated when it serves no real purpose. Money isn't really the issue, though you make a fair point that her endorsements might be hurt by her not playing; conversely, they might support her because ultimately they might not want to alienate fans of the number two ranked player in the WTA. It must serve a purpose (or at least a perceived purpose) or else they wouldn't keep doing it. These billionaire tournament organizers aren't just doing these press conferences for no reason. They aren't paying her cause she's good at tennis, they're paying her (and other benefits such as exposure etc.) because she can generate revenue for them, and one way she does that is through press conferences. It's a business. I'll repeat, if she can find fulfillment (monetary or otherwise) as a tennis player without entering these tournaments good for her. Or if she can change the tennis world for the better that would be great! --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! |

I'm not siding with the French Open here. I was just responding to Kenri who asked "why do people have to do press conferences just because they are good at tennis?" and the answer is they don't, they have do them if they enter tournaments that require them It was stupid to ban her anyway because now she's not playing and still not doing press conferences and I don't see how the French Open benefits from one of the sport's bigger stars not being there. --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! |

| MZero 06/02/21 4:02:53 AM #90 | BlackJackCat posted... That's all well and good, but the purse from participating and winning tennis matches is not the bread and butter of a player. So again, this falls short. If her endorsements take issue with her stances, certainly this is a problem, but why should press events where endorsements are rarely made concern them? I don't think you're getting my point. If she (or any other player) wants to play in the tournament, she has to fulfill the media obligations. If she's fine with just the endorsements then she doesn't need to enter the tournament, and thus doesn't have to do any press. (granted I imagine she would lose a lot of endorsements by not playing) So why is she entering the tournament to begin with? Money? Fame? Legacy? The chance to play other top players? Regardless, if she can get whatever it is she wants without entering the tournament, then she can decide whether she wants to do media or not. --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! |

| MZero 06/02/21 3:37:55 AM #88 | Kenri posted... Pretty circular reasoning. Might as well have just said "it is because it is." No, it's not. Money doesn't just appear in your bank account because you're good at tennis, it has to come from somewhere. It's a business agreement, and part of it includes media availability. I can't tell you exactly why because I'm not a tennis tournament organizer but it's safe to say their motives are financially driven. It's just like any other job, if the people who control the money deem it necessary you can either do it, try to convince them otherwise, or seek other employment. But hey, if a tennis player can make a satisfactory amount of money without playing in those tournaments, more power to them! --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! |

| MZero 06/01/21 8:19:53 PM #8 | If she can't do press conferences due to her mental health, she probably shouldn't be playing anyway. I guess only she can judge that though. But either way, they are part of the responsibility of playing in the tournament and part of the reason pro-athletes make as much money as they do, so if she can't do them she probably should take some time off. They could have handled it better though. Perhaps they could have reached an agreement on reduced pay or something --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! |
