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...?

But I am glad we can at least agree that if she changes things for the better that would be great.

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.
