zonabb Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Does fandom have to extend to what the owners' kids do? Who cares, honestly. She is a mediocre tennis player basically playing professional tennis as a hobby because her parents can support her financially. Anyone her age, with the inability to climb to any substantial position in the rankings, would have retired into a real job by now. In other words, who cares. I don't. And I don't care about the other garbage they do, shops they open, businesses they buy. The hero worship is astounding. 4 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it doesn’t have to, but.............I happen to be a tennis fan and would have tuned in had I been home and available. I’ve enjoyed watching her matches in the past. I appreciate that @Giuseppe Tognarelli made the effort to give us the heads up. If you don’t like it, you can just ignore it easily enough. Short answer: I care. Nobody asked you to care.
