countries re: the way their press behaves. I hadn't thought of that.

Also, with respect to the modes of access press is limited to when it comes to athletes in tennis v. other "locker room" sports. That's a pretty thoughtful logistical consideration.

I'm pretty pro-Naomi/athlete in this instance tho bc I do think mental health is as critical as physical health, and if her boycott starts some serious conversations/reforms that protect athletes more as she phrased it that is ultimately a very good thing (and likely long overdue). Even if it makes things a bit trickier for the press.

BUT. I do get where you're coming from here. There is hopefully a compromise point where athletes have more protections/freedom and the press can still serve their function.
