Profile in Courage
It's important to remember that Naomi Osaka, the tennis star, is 22 years old. 22. She says: "I feel more comfortable as a follower." Yet, when the NBA players staged their protest, and other sports teams followed, she says: "I looked around at the tennis world and decided it was up to me."
The U.S. Open opens tomorrow. I'll be watching. Most of the big name male stars are missing. Lots of room for some newcomers to make their mark. The women's side is strong. Unfortunately, Naomi has a bum leg, so we may not see her. But, we won't forget her statement. A statement we call can make. "I decided it was up to me."
