Reply to Danielle Reyna told U.S. Soccer about past Gregg Berhalter domestic violence incident by Dann610
Kind of torn on this, probably due to a lack of knowledge of Reyna's ability.
The kid acted selfish and immature at the WC due to a perceived slight of playing time.
The coach absolutely screwed up when he threw the player under the bus AFTER it was dealt with in house. Sounds like he should have played the kid more.
The parents of player should not be involved and should piss off for life.
The strangest part is how the families were so close and then all this occurred. Sounds like the coach tried to give a hard lesson to a kid he knew and it snowballed. Fast.

If it did happen, she should be charged for protecting an abuser for decades.

That still falls under the definition of confirmed in regards to "safe and comfortable".
So they've confirmed that she is safe and comfortable, but aren't convinced she is safe and comfortable? There's a conflict here.

It means that they have not met her personally to confirm she isn't saying these things at the end of a gun.
Why'd you think they refuse to let her meet? The last time someone tried to show they weren't torturing prisoners on TV, the prisoner has to spell out torture in morse code with his eye. š¤

>The WTA said it had received confirmation Peng was safe and comfortable but were yet to meet with her personally.
Unless their definition of "confirmation" is different from what I was taught, shouldn't this already be resolution.

WTA Is one of the smallest sport association between the sisters. And china is their biggest market by miles far above everything else (10 tournaments per year before dropping).
What they are doing is not only remarkable, but it's like David vs Goliath. They know they got no chance and still putting up a fight. Mad mad respect for them.
We occidental medias should cover this shit more often, instead nobody gives a fuck about that anymore. And it's super sad. Shuai's family is probably kidnapped since things went down with that son of a bitch chinese senator. Sorry but I can't stand this shit no more

Yeah but we are totally forgetting they are leaving since 2 years and a half their most profitable market (10 š with some big ass tourneys) and like billions in endorsements, ads and everything else. It's like ok I'm gonna cut my throat at 65% just to stand for civil rights and just for one single player. They need to be recognized all days in media coverage, all year long in every sport talks, just in this manner china will be slowly called out, and maybe won't change shit but at least u put pressure on'em. Instead nobody gives a shit and we are releasing a dope ass Netflix series to not think about this atrocious situation.
Yes, when u see a fucking video with your wta player alone in an empty stadium, saying "it's all right folks, nobody is haunting me" with a fear look in her face (bc her family is probably under torture or something) and 10 fake ass players all smiling simultaneously.
Yes u know things are real bad. But this is the way china operate.

No, I agree. š I never said this was unique to the US, but when theyāre struggling to gain top tier relevancy this is the LAST thing they need to be dealing with.

Lmao that's gotta be Katherine Johnson, who is famous enough for kids to do reports on. She's one of the smartest pre computer era mathematicians at NASA.
No clue who the prior OP was thinking about.
