She acts in his movies, making him her boss, plus he's 15 years older than her which means that there's a huge power imbalance, which in Reeeeesetera's opinion is basically rape...or something, but only if they hate the guy and he's white and says the wrong things in public or makes the wrong type of Cape shit films.

also literally made a movie literally humanising literal nazis

. The old guard is absolutely insane here. they're saying "Press conferences are how we reached the public!! They're essential". It's 2021. No one watches those things anymore.

This is such a bullshit take. Go to any sports thread before you go “it is racist they are demanding that she honor her contract” you dumb fucker.

[Transhuman]

You should be allowed to have social anxiety and still be an athlete. Fuck em.

She needs to come up with her own "both teams played hard" or "i'm just here so I don't get fined", but she's probably too polite.

What is a contract?

Why are people so obsessed with contracts?

And people just saying she should show up and do a Marshawn Lynch? Not everyone can do that, it still takes a mental toll. 

.  Cause it is an easy out then actually dealing with complex issues.

A easy issue like Palestine...

[Boredfrom]

  Some people just love rules so much that they are upset that they are broken even if it doesn't bother hurt them on any level.
Also, when you talk about nothing but the rules it allows to not talk about racism.

why are you people so binary about this. things can and should change and to do that sometimes it needs to happen by refusal to take part 

Again why are yall so hellbent on contracts?

“I want peace in the Middle East but fuck contracts and agreements.”

Nah, imagine you are an intensely shy person and got crushed in front of millions of people while stressfully trying your hardest to win, and then you walk off the court and all you want to do is be alone and try to find some peace but instead you have to sit in front of dozens of journalists who want soundbites as you are at the lowest point in your life. It's pretty fucked. If you are an actor or a musician you can say "no, i'm not doing a press junket" or "no, I don't want to go on Ellen" and that's your choice. But if you're an athlete, somehow you don't deserve autonomy.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I'm pretty sure most people who have worked real jobs are going to take the side that yeah, there's some shit you don't actually want to do some times as part of being employed, but that's why its called a job.
And anything you seriously have good reason to not want to do that happens to be part of that job, its a pretty good likelihood that that jobs not actually for you.


Now, the fact that a bunch of era have decided its oppressive and racist to hold someone to their employment contract I put less down to their deep empathy for the human condition and more to the fact they've never worked a fucking day in their life and treat whatever poor cunt is paying their bills like an unreasonable tyrant when they ask questions like "Could you please at least try looking for work today sweetie?"

No? Actors are often required to a million press junkets to promote upcoming films. Of course they have to do it if it's in their contract. They also get paid a shitload of money for doing so.

[Hap Shaughnessy]

So you suggest drugs?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I mean... If there was a comedy club that paid a bit better but made you make small talk with the compere after the set and you didn't want to because doing the sets exhausting enough, your choice is pretty much do smaller venues or do the small talk bit you don't like, right?

Comes across a bit prima donna -ish to do the better paying gig then whine about what's subsidising that better pay because of your mental health. Performers - which includes athletes at a certain level - have a choice about venue. I'm sure there are worse paying tournaments that don't have a mandatory press pit after the tournament but, you know, they're worse paying.

[Potato]

She probably uses sports psychologists on a daily basis to help her perform better. Surely she can get a little help from them on how to deal with press conferences.

Fraces McDormand didn't do junkets/interviews for most of her career because she didn't want to and because (unless you're an athlete) contracts are negotiable. If they offered contracts that paid less and didn't require player interviews, then i'd be angry at her for breaking a contract.

Anecdotal of course, I only follow one sport and only watch press conferences for my team, but any time there was an issue about a player not talking to press it was a Latino player, either every other race just sucked it up and dealt with it or, more likely IMO, they didn’t give a shit unless it was a minority player.

Yes, it would suck a lot, but this isn't a mental health issue, it's an issue with not wanting to do the part of your job that sucks - and then trying to promote it as a mental health issue to get sympathy for her position. I'd probably have more sympathy if this also was a problem when she wins, and if she actually had to drag her ass to work every day in order to pay the rent.

ugh so I just had 2 days of no meds but it was pretty much entirely my fault. On the day it was ready, I had to go out at night. And I take FOREVER to get ready. By the time I left my house CVS was closed.

Then I drank that night, so in the morning I not only had no meds in my system but I was hungover and extra lethargic. By the time I felt assed to do anything CVS was, again, closed.

I ate SOOOO much and I forgot about a billion things I had to do. Fuck, man.
