There shouldn't be any mention of 70 yr old Bill Belichick that doesn't include his girlfriend that is young enough to be on her parents' insurance.

I'm not interested in logic here π

Taylor Townsend/Kat Siniakova vs Venus Williams/Leylah Fernandez NEEDS to be on Ashe!! Y'all wanted to promote doubles and a box office match has fallen into your laps. Make it happen #USOpen
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
It was so kind of the #USOpen to keep pushing Taylor and Katerina's doubles match to later so it wouldn't conflict with Venus or me cooking dinner!
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
D-Nice on IG spinning while I finish cooking ππΎ What a great beginning of the end of the long weekend!!
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app) reply parent
Omg I didn't even notice. Wow!!
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
Venus and Leylah paired up last week and are really out her cookin experienced doubles teams. But unlike that mixed exhibition, they are both already experienced in doubles #USOpen
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
It blows me that Venus Williams refuses to call herself a doubles player. But you know what?! I'm gonna respect how my queen wants to identify π #USOpen
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
The extra funny part of this that I should have highlighted is that this post originated with the trainer and Ostapenko shared it. He put on his cape to defend her and announce himself as her Black friend π #USOpen

I don't understand what this win being an upset has to do with the rest of what you said. There were 2 Black players on court

This is cute but The North remembers how you treated her in 2021, Roland Garros

I'm sad to see Coco lose but I'm happy for Naomi. Maybe folks will shut up about he regretting having a child (which she has never once said).
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
Naomi...WOW!! #USOpen

I know Naomi Osaka is Naomi Osaka but... I did not expect her to be mothering Coco on court like this today #USOpen

This is the first time all tournament I've seen the app show both players for the thumbnail of the match Naomi and Coco's power >>> #USOpen
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
If you can, I highly recommend watching the Coco vs Naomi match through the ESPN app instead of on the channel. Chris Evert can be so insufferable when it comes to commentating the Black stars, especially Coco and I'm not doing that today #USOpen

Yes, their label is on her kits. I was referring to her not being able to get clothing sponsors
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app) reply parent
Why would you see a post celebrating her wearing her own brand that she created and say "she'll get a sponsor" She became her own clothing sponsor and she has other companies sponsoring her.

I watch tennis regularly beyond the slams and I've deadass seen Ostapenko in more braids than Taylor Townsend ππ€¦πΎββοΈ
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
A lil commotion for the kits Taylor Townsend wore in her singles run. I love that she took matters into her own hands when she couldn't get a sponsor. I've been waiting for this moment!! #USOpen
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
I'm so glad Taylor can already see that she should be proud of herself for her singles run! We still in doubles too #USOpen

Just pushed play on Naomi's doc to reset after that loss πΎ
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
Tennis players take losses all the time, but this is one of the toughest I've watched. I'm so glad she has such a loving team #USOpen
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
The crowd was louder in the post game than during the match. Pathetic!! #USOpen
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
I couldn't even watch the end. I'm so sick for Taylor!! It's okay to cry, especially after trying to stay composed for hours in such a tough match #USOpen

There was absolutely no honest reason to include the unrelated story about helping someone earlier. Mentioning the business partner was a special unnecessary touch

Only at the levels closer to the court. People with grounds passes were able to get it

Watching Mboko's run in MontrΓ©al really spoiled me because the fans were so consistently energetic for her matches. This #USOpen crowd is DEAD unless you hype them up or do backflips

Getting to see Venus on court again, and winning. Watching Leylah partner with a living legend and rise to the occasion. I'm emotional π₯Ή #USOpen

She only apologized for 1 word and not to the person she should have
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
So Ostapenko still isn't apologizing TO Taylor Townsend for how she behaved towards her!! Not surprising because Jelena genuinely doesn't think her behavior is a problem. I need the tennis community to stand on business even after this tournament. Enough is enough #USOpen

The bulk of the responses may be to one post but we can also see your other responses. The feedback you are getting is based on the ignorance you have shared. In 35 years of practice, you didn't develop the competency to understand that this happens everywhere.

What I'm reading from the caption is that Eric Adams was on the pod and compared himself to Martin and Malcolm. It doesn't seem like Van is siding with Adams to me, though I'm annoyed that they'd platform him at all

Love seeing Chris Eubanks thrive as a commentator!! More competent personalities and less inflated egos #USOpen

I don't have much respect for this #USOpen crowd because Sabalenka should be getting booed. If she had said the mess she said about Coco about one of their players, the Canadians would've stood on big business in Montreal.

When ppl act like Naomi Osaka should leave tennis because she's hard on herself & awkward in press, I remember this is the same Naomi who bravely faced vitriol for wearing the names of Black victims of brutality. Get you a fav who can do both #USOpen

I really didn't think we'd see worse after those post Roland Garros final comments. Sabalenka's prejudice walked so Ostapenko's racism could run #USOpen
Cozy Blackbiird (@thatsoleelee.blacksky.app)
Krejcikova may want to try to get another doubles partner quickly because Ostapenko being microaggressive toward Taylor Townsend just set them up for alot of negativity. The crowds at her matches are gonna leave the "class" at the gates for sure. #USOpen
