“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 🤷)
Although I agree, the Coco line call was annoying. It was called during the play then recalled which messed up the point.
the average american has the demeanor of the bully character in a disney channel original movie

Americans aren’t good at sportsmanship and suck at losing.
Australia has this problem too.
Skill issue smh
westoid issue
Americans aren’t good
at sportsmanshipand suckat losing.They’re gunna try and character assassinate Pan Zhanle for winning the 100m free the same way they went after Sun Yang. Australians think they own the pool
Edit: probably better to say they are already going after Pan in the same manner, but my man’s unflappable
good sportsmanship is a communist plot!!
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?
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.
hope your next burger is overcooked and has too much ketchup on it :cry-ab-it:
You can see where the israelis get their attitude from
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?
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.Wrote some more about it, if you’re interested https://hexbear.net/post/3163492?scrollToComments=false
most cooked olympics since 1936

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
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.

that should be an automatic loss
Maybe she’s sad that her dad will probably be shot one day

Americans and throwing temper tantrum when they fucked around and got found out never stops being hilarious to me.
THEY TRIED TO WIN A COMPETITION ;_;
