Re: Naomi Osaka, another nutcase.

You know about that and how it feels LD, the same as I do too. That's how our age group were brought up, the hard way. Today though, youngsters are brought up and taught in school that there are no losers, only winners. They then have an attitude that doesn't allow them to know the truth that there are winners so there will always be losers. That is where their troubles can start, it's probably not very easy to have to realise and admit to something that is the truth but that has never been taught to you!
