“I just told her I didn’t respect her as a competitor,” Navarro said of the exchange, per AFP. “I think she goes about things in a pretty cut-throat way. It makes for a locker room that doesn’t have a lot of camaraderie, so it’s tough to face an opponent like that, who I really don’t respect.”
“She told me she doesn’t know how I have a lot of fans,” Zheng said. “It looks like she’s not happy with my behavior toward her. If she’s not happy about my behavior, she can come and tell me. I would like to correct it to become a better player and a better person.”
Zheng clarified that she wasn’t upset by Navarro’s words. “I’m glad that she told me that,” Zheng continued. “I will not consider it an attack because she lost the match.”
this is one of three times a US tennis player has acted like a sore loser in the past several days:
Danielle Collins scratches her match due to “injury” as she was losing. After her Polish opponent congratulated her on her career, Collins calls her “insincere” before walking away. She then played doubles 2 hours after her supposed injury.
Coco Guaff argues with chair umpire after losing to Croatia, says “this always happens to me” while crying. (i think some people are debating if her gripe was somewhat fair, but i feel like implying the judge is always out to get you is definintely doing too much. at least she didn’t disrespect her opponent 🤷)
Holy fuck, America, please, at least one American actually, can’t ask it of everyone, have a shred of dignity and or self respect. Like, damn, you know the image that’s been projected pretty much for.the last decade had been of a pathetic whiny dysfunctional adult baby? I’m Canadian and I can see that internationally America is that 4chan co-worker who you have to humor cause of his mass shooter energy who is almost 40 and won’t shut up about bakugan. Just absolute unstable losers, the kid at the playground who realized he could keep being cringe if he was super violent and would keep Naruto running well into high school cause he hospitalized a kid in 2nd grade for saying Mankey wasn’t the best pokemon. The energy of the absolute worst dweeb who became a permanent Wal mart employee who lives at home until 50 but thinks they’re hot shit cause they run that electronics section with an iron fist. Fuck America and fuck Americans, nation of redditor danger geeks. A country of punishers
I’m Canadian
This is oddly specific, you’ve got to have a colleague who is really into bakugan. Didn’t even realise that was still a thing
who is almost 40 and won’t shut up about bakugan
Like half the trans women here (and like 30% of the site) just got hit with the wildest of strays
No idea what that is and I’m not looking it up.

For fuck sakes mods, give me time to fix the link. The robot literally just told me.

Is it not possible to edit the removed comment?
it is
also a heads up, this bot is stuck on a comment and a post and has been spamming the modlog for hours
Mod deleted comments probably shouldn’t be editable for reasons I posted below and assumed they weren’t for those reasons.
I’ll have a look at it in a minute
Isn’t. Just tried.

It’s not. Just tried.
It wouldn’t be a stray bullet if the tracking was fixed
i think it hits harder with the proper sound effect
I didn’t try but it seems like being able to edit a comment that was removed by mod would make it real hard for a mod to keep a comment removed. Someone could just hit edit and repost what was removed

I agree emotionally but this I’d a typical example of an American passing their own responsibility onto other nations. You live there, you’re the one in spitting distance from other Americans. Hawk huah it
Come travel to me, I’ll spit on you :D

If we’re talking about the Olympics, Simone Biles and Suni Lee seemed pretty cool and had good sportsmanship
Yes, but certainly not exclusively. This is a notch on the whiny ass loser behavior board and yall seem less scary each time you do shit like this.
yeah i honestly really love simone, especially with how open she is with mental health struggles
a lot of reactionaries including JD Vance called her “weak and selfish” and practically acted like she committed treason for dropping out of the 2020 olympics due to mental health. her anxiety literally caused her to lose control mid-air and almost not land on her feet, which could’ve easily left her paralyzed
after winning yesterday she posted a “mental health matters” thing with her meditating before performing. she said she’d been “shaking” from anxiety at the olympic village, and went to therapy hours before getting gold. genuinely felt inspired hearing how she overcomes anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma from sexual abuse (larry nassar, the US gymnastics team’ doctor who had assaulted over 200 women and girls)
If you look at her Wikipedia page, it uses three different sources for hateful comments in Russian media, and no specific attention to stuff from her own country…
If you look at her Wikipedia page, it uses three different sources for hateful comments in “Russian state-owned media”, and nothing dedicated to stuff at home…
insane, she was literally being attacked on fox news while the deputy AG of texas called her a “childish, selfish national embarrassment” and the lieutenant governor of NC called her a “weak little gymnast” and a “quitter.” charlie kirk straight up called her a “selfish sociopath and a shame to the country” while conservatives ran headlines like this:
cartoon villain shit
mad respect to her, thanks for sharing
😠
Although I agree, the Coco line call was annoying. It was called during the play then recalled which messed up the point.

The girl in the video said “Its clear the great Chinese firewall is to protect Americans’ fragile egos.”
Amazing. 🥲
Americans and throwing temper tantrum when they fucked around and got found out never stops being hilarious to me.
The Olympics is the highest level of competition and takes a ton of training and talent to even be considered eligible even if you’re a rich brat like this yank. It would be a different situation if the Chinese player was cold in every situation, but who wouldn’t be cut throat DURING the match?
I don’t remember this many news stories about bigotry and poor sportsmanship in past olympics, is it just me?
Maybe something has changed, but if it’s anything I think it’s just the fact that it is now easier to push back against the propaganda of the west, or people have gotten better at it.
“The USSR women are so roided up they’ve become men” was a common accusation back when the soviet union still existed. That and stereotypes of children being driven like cattle and grown in vats, as if the US is any better
USSR women are so roided
Are you saying it’s propaganda that there was a lot op doping among athletes from AES countries?
Wrote some more about it, if you’re interested https://hexbear.net/post/3163492?scrollToComments=false
The propaganda is that the US is accusing other countries of doping, when their athletes are much more likely to engage in doping
This doesn’t even touch on the corrupt practices of the the many pro-wester anti-doping agencies.
no idea, i imagine it’s not really something western mainstream media would report much on, i only found out because i’m following that chinese netizen tiktoker
i wouldn’t have even known there were two more examples if i didn’t lose the video and try to find it again by searching “american tennis player sore loser” just for three different cases from the past week to pop up lmfao
most cooked olympics since 1936
French gastronomy
I think we’ve been reaching a fever pitch for far right nationalist movements in a lot of the “west” fairly quick over the last couple of years, notable that the big whiners all have a openly anti-immigrant nationalist party either in power or as the opposition.
Consider that there are two boxers in the Olympics that were banned by the IBA, but only the one that knocked out the Italian one is a news story.
crazy how many Olympic/elite level US tennis players are born-rich, entitled nepobaby jocks with wretched personalities.
Almost like the training and focus required to participate at the Olympic level is incompatible with full-time work.
The global South is getting better at gaming the Olympics system and its making the west piss and shit and maybe cry a little bit
the average american has the demeanor of the bully character in a disney channel original movie
Oops all 80’s sports movie villain bully characters
You can see where the israelis get their attitude from
Meanwhile the Koreas and China are being super friendly to each other getting selfies and such.
Thsts brasil tho
And Japan
Aah,
what’s your point? my point was that positive vibes were happening all over. america is full of drama queens.
