Naomi Osaka has decided to pull out of the French Open after being told she would be fined for not speaking to the media immediately after matches. As someone who has studied and loves the business of journalism, I stand with her. It's time to have a real conversation about professional athletes, who are human beings, mental health as well as their beef with the "media." In a day and age where more Black people are studying the craft, it's time to address why there are not enough Black media members who can relate to the athletes of today.
