[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am seriously wondering if she can go to the press conference with shades on and even headphones and just stare at them while they ask questions?

If a response is required 'I am here in order to not be fined for violations'.

She could, but then I’m sure she would get ripped apart in the press.  She seems to be doing her best to be honorable and polite in a very painful situation. [/quote]  Marshawn Lynch did this.  Earlier in his career he stopped going to the mandatory press conferences and the league started fining him.    In 2015 the Seattle Seahawks were heading to the Superbowl and Marshawn Lynch was their star running back.   During press leading up to the Superbowl he answered every question "I'm just here so I don't get fined" or "You know why I'm here".    Over his career, he was fined $100,000 for not speaking to the press. The fans stood by him, he was a well-loved player in Seattle.  Some of the fans even started a fund to pay his fines.   He's currently trending on Twitter because of this Osaka situation.[/quote]
