WTA suspends all events in China and Hong Kong among continued concern for Shuai, who still hasn’t been seen live in public.
Big props to the WTA who has bigger balls than the NBA and most of our politico-corporate leaders.I still call it The Jake.

Is the WTA just an American sporting body? I know Jack about tennis.

Yep, I'm impressed with the WTA. That's an impressive stand when orgs with a lot more muscle are afraid to say anything at all.

It’s the global governing body and tour for women’s tennis.
Right?
You can hashtag all you want and posture on social media about how you support #metoo or this or that human right but it’s another thing to put your wallet on the line.
Mad respect for the WTA.I still call it The Jake.

Well, where I'm going with that is that it's based in Talahassee.
This smells like governments are involved. I refuse to believe calls haven't been churning. It's way too big.
Oh, and World Series, jongboy.

Neat, the IOC is helping carry the CCP’s water by supporting their narrative that Peng wasn’t disappeared.
In a totally scripted, approved by the CCP, and completely not under duress, meeting, Peng gave her first “interview” to a non-CCP outlet where she completely denies making her sexual abuse allegations against the CCP official.

This is such contrived bullshit and is up there with the converted Uygur being trotted out as the picture of normal and happy at the Opening Ceremonies.I still call it The Jake.

Man I love the Olympics but holy fuck I hate the IOC and everything they stand for.

It’s making me kinda hate Gu, even though that last jump was fucking insane. She seems so manufactured, and happy to just jump in line with them.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has had this same thought.
I’m trying to imagine what she, in her 18 years of accumulated wisdom, would say to all those prominent athletes and women around the world that spoke up for Peng and against the Chinese Communist Party’s treatment and coercion of her.
“No Serena, it’s ok, the sponsorship ¥¥¥ is killer over here! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, or those people behind the walls.”
Ticker at the bottom of my screen just read “IOC President attends Women’s Big Air competition with Peng Shuai”.
Wow, what a deplorable piece of shit he, and the IOC, is.
Dance bear, your master is watching.I still call it The Jake.

I never heard of Gu until a week ago when all the outrage about her competing for China came out in the national right wing media
I’m gonna give her a pass 18 years old and gonna make some bank
I’m just not outraged
Two weeks from now no one will remember her outside the community she competes in. Unless she wins gold?Own your fail. ~Jer~

Whoever did PR for Gu is legit. Regardless of the scrutiny of her skiing for the commies she'll be able to tap out after the Chinese sponsorship money she'll bank in the next 6-12 months.
