Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players: “You know I'm seeing a little bit of- ‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them. Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’ I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks. Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤” (via Naomi on Threads)

@OGDannyOcean 😂😂😂

@OGDannyOcean after last night’s game 😂

This is hard

There’s a reason why at 21 years old, with a year left on his rookie contract, MIN gave him $126M - the biggest contract in American sports history at the time. A deal so unfathomable, that a lockout came the next season. And he was worth every penny. Every penny.

@DragonflyJonez still my favorite story about that deal is him not even RUSHING to sign it cause he at jimmy jam house listening to janet's the velvet rope before anybody else lol.

@TheMenaceMaddie Don’t let her stress you out lol
