swimmer and bronze medalist Simone Manuel took aim at the media in a series of tweets this week, urging reporters to"stop interviewing athletes" after a"disappointing performance."
Manuel, 25, has taken issue with the post-race interviews at the Games, saying in a tweet on Tuesday that those media appearances in general don't give athletes the time to"process anything." "Please stop interviewing athletes right after a disappointing performance before they have any time to process anything. Trust me. They gave it their all. Nothing else people need to know at that time," she posted."The amount of people who say we’re just sore losers or that we are ‘obligated’ to do the interviews is problematic. Lack of empathy for athletes is problematic.
"It’s mentally and emotionally exhausting to coherently answer questions while trying to process the fact that people already saw you fall short of the goals you worked so hard for on the world’s biggest stage," she continued. "Just give us a moment. The story can wait. Empathy and kindness is the most important thing we need in that moment.
