Biden officially recognizes June as Pride Month and vows to fight for LGBTQ rights.
Media coverage is an integral part of every sport's marketing plan. That's why these press conferences exist: For promotion, for sponsors, for money. Not because the media demands them or they are owed to us. Athletes are required to attend to help market the sport. Period.

Confused by the way this is being framed by Mr. Pierce. We can all agree that we want what is best for Naomi Osaka -- the question is how to go about it. (Different rules for different people? Does she need to find another profession, a la Kristy McNichol?) The relevance of news conferences isn't the issue here and moving the goalpost isn't helping anyone.
Also, am I the only one who feels that if this were, say, Sofia Kenin (or Genie Bouchard a few years ago) then the reaction would be very different -- perhaps even assailing the player as "entitled" and exercising her "privileged” existence by thinking she deserves “special treatment" while others are contributing to the greater sport? I don’t think Osaka is guilty of these things but 55 million bucks says the non-tennis fans who feel the need to chime in would not be supportive of most other players going through similar issues.

Song of the Day: '(Hey, Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song' by B.J. Thomas
Sad to hear about the passing of singer/songwriter B.J. Thomas, who scored several memorable hits when I was a kid, including "Hooked on a Feeling," "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" and today's SOTD, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. He was 78 and had recently announced he'd been battling lung cancer. RIP.
