Women's Tennis Assn. CEO Steve Simon has pulled his organization's events out of China in response to the controversy surrounding tennis player Peng Shuai.
Women’s tennis takes a stand for Peng Shuai, a Chinese player who accused a Communist Party leader of sexual abuse and then vanished from public view.Simon responded each time with furrowed-brow statements that questioned the legitimacy of what was going on. At first, he threatened to pull all women’s pro tennis events from China if he didn’t get satisfaction about Peng’s well-being. When he didn’t get that, he followed through on his threat, canceling all WTA events for 2022 in China.
The NFL’s Roger Goodell has mastered the art of spinning and rationalizing. He punted the Colin Kaepernick case so often his toe must have hurt. And now, just recently, former NFL player Phillip Adams, who murdered six people before shooting himself to death, was found to have severe head injuries that have become an epidemic in the league.
Monahan heard the criticism and decided to let his players go anyway, saying his main concern was for their safety — apparently not how bad it looked to be hitting five irons and cashing big checks in a country governed by those who murdered Khashoggi.
