As you yourself said it’s an exhibition with nothing at stake. I really think it’s run its course.

While Townsend’s comments don’t cancel out Alona’s comments it does show she wasn’t wrong because Townsend’s comments were pretty ignorant. Be that as it may, it shows two things: westerners (some but not all) criticize food or cultures they don’t understand instead of trying to just accept that it’s different than what they’re used to; and secondly, does every feeling have to lead to a video? I think not. Some things are better kept to yourself.

No lies told. Also "Does every feeling have to lead to a video?" feels like a mantra we should all have engraved on every device until the end of time. 💀

Absolutely true about early success being a curse. The worst thing Nick kyrgios ever did in his career was beat Rafa at Wimbledon when he was 19. They never let up. Huge expectations. Enormous promotions. Next boy wonder. Will have five slams by 25... With the big five stopping him at every turn. Overtraining, overplaying, despair... burnout at 21 and massive injuries. End of career at 27, with mockery and judging what could have been. All because the sport needed a Nick and he wasn't it.
