[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO, this presents an opportunity for us to focus on mental health, instead of pounding our chests and wringing our hands about the rules. [/quote]

So bend the rules for the incredibly rich, privileged lady to give her a leg up on the competition? I’m gonna vote no on that.

But I’d definitely love to see Osaka leverage some of her immense wealth and power to do more in this space for others. Especially for people who struggle with mental health problems and don’t have as much privilege or as many resources as she does. [/quote]
Are you able to forget about how many dollars she earns and the rules of the game and just focus on the human being? Are you capable of that?[/quote]

I mean, I guess I’m sorry she doesn’t enjoy press conferences. I know almost no one who enjoys every aspect of their job. It’s incredibly rare. I’m more concerned about the mental health of people who work hard but still can’t afford proper mental health care. Osaka can afford the best mind doctors money can buy. I’m not worried about her; I genuinely think she is okay and will continue to be okay. [/quote]
Yeah, the "no one likes everything about their job" line is played out.

I suspect you just don't/never liked Osaka--for whatever reason. And that's fine. Just like I've never cared for Brady and Brees.

Also, speaking of played out, you should understand that your yelling about how much money Osaka has does not make a whole lot of sense. I understand that Robin Williams was worth about $50 million when he died. [/quote]

I don’t really care whether admitting most people dislike parts of their job is “played out” or not. It doesn’t matter to me, and the reason why is because it’s true: Most people have jobs that cause them anxiety and stress. That’s how it goes being an adult!

I never said rich people can’t or don’t commit suicide. Of course anyone can commit suicide. But I’ll take the odds of the super privileged, rich person who is struggling over the poor one any day of the week. It’s not even a close contest which one is better off. (And Robin Williams was suffering from Lewy body, which is obviously very different. You couldn’t come up with a better example?)[/quote]

Sure. Or Bourdain. Plenty of better and more recent examples for the bad point PP was trying to make. [/quote]
