It's part of the contract they willingly signed to walk out with a couple-million-dollars check after winning 5 or 6 tennis matches. Put in perspective, not even as hard as to face with your sales manager every month (if you work in sales, that is), eat whatever sh*t he's got in mind to throw at you, and walk out with the same pay. Give sales people, delivery ppl, table waiting ppl, cashiers, etc a rough press conference every now and then adding a $1K to their weekly income and see how smiley/happy they'll all repeatedly answer any "rough" questions the press may come up with. And even then these everyday workers wouldn't come close to grasping the kind of privileges tennis players get.

I wonder why journalists are treated as gods, some of these people just ask stupid questions, and can be abrasive and too full of themselves. Kudos to professional sports men and women who put these fools in their rightful place!

[@cricketmonday1469]

Your wrong Walt. It's top-10 players who are treated like gods ('cause they sell tickets!) even when their behaviour is less than poor. At the end of the day EACH ONE (player/journalist) is doing his job... but players get away with the "way" they release frustration. I wonder if it'd be OK when a journalist gets cut off, ignored, insulted or not responded and he SHOWED HIS OWN FRUSTRATION BY THROWING HIS MIC TO THE INTERVIEWED PLAYER OR AGAINST THE WALL.

​@@metamorphicme9378, they ask dumb questions across the racial spectrum AND the rate of dumb and demeaning questions is higher for certain racial groups and also for women. That's been studied so you'll have to find better racism denier metrics than "vibes".

[@JessBlake2]

@G.D, so then you don't read peer-reviewed scholarly journals that study racist behavior and bias. And, you have no idea how much research I have conducted. I do find it quite fascinating when people jump in with a knee jerk denial of racism when they have no idea what the research actually says.

[@SISTAGURL]

I think they all got equally grilled

[@JessBlake2]

@G.D, apparently you do need to be told what racism is because you incorrectly objected to my merely pointing out the well documented fact that black people are more likely to be asked demeaning questions. You fit nicely into another area of research. That is, people who deny racism exists are more likely to quickly claim racism has not occurred when they have nothing but their own immediate fragility and discomfort to use as data.
