Summary

Am I supposed to feel sorry for tennis star Naomi Osaka because a fan chanted " Naomi, you suck" this past weekend at Indian Wells? Well I don't! I don't feel sorry for Russell Westbrook either, or any other pro sports figure who gets bent out of shape over fans heckling. Deal with it, or choose another profession! To me it's that simple. You are on a big stage. You can't make millions from salary and endorsements and then complain when someone says something bad to you. These athletes are lucky they didn't play 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago. They'd last about 10 minutes! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
