Especially for breaking down the whole clay thing lol


But ya, the whole of what you're saying makes a lot of sense.


And re: other sports, I was kinda thinking along those lines actually, with regards to the whole stuffy culture thing. Like, sports where there's more diversity in the players, staff/admin, press etc seem to have less stuffy cultures, generally (tho I've never played or followed to know, just my impression). But then, there's also predominantly White sports that seem to lack the stuffy culture thing too (eg. hockey... baseball?)... and I was trying to think if this press shade/antagonism happens with Black players in those spaces too (even tho it may not be fair to compare to pro tennis since there's more parity between the exposure women's and men's tennis receive than between that of women's and men's hockey, for example).

But I guess, as you say, this is planet Earth we're talking about lol. There's always bs.
