My guy, the way the WTA is squaring up to China is turning me into a fan.

No other organization, institution, or government has stood up to China this way.

All the executives in charge of WTA's stance?........ I want all their autographs. All of them. And Serena Williams'. And Venus'.

I'm a fan now. Someone teach me the rules of tennis STAT.

They want a resolution to the case that was the start of this. Her being safe and comfortable is nice and all (her saying I am safe and comfortable in a moderately controlled interview does not count), but she is clearly under duress to not speak of the incident. That’s what they want from this. They want her to be able to speak candidly and without punishment. Given that it’s China, it’s unlikely that will happen while she is in China, but who knows, China did make a sizable investment in WTA before this went down.

lol, this is such a dumb comment. someone has to make the money. all i hear is people bitch about billionaires without understanding that someone has to make the money if it's not the government. without billionaires things would be drastically more difficult, because billionaires are the ones who actually drive the economy. no billionaires = things are much more expensive and less jobs.
