@USTAEastern@usta If the USTA wanted to promote kindness which has everything to do with sportsmanship and mental health I am sure you can find a way to modify the lateness rules so they allow for the occasional extenuating circumstance.
The strict application of lateness rules in USTA junior tennis matches is disturbing. If a young player is late after being stuck in situations outside human control there should be some understanding. If we care about promoting kindness in sports @usta, @USTAEastern
@USTAEastern@usta The issue affects metro region disproportionately probably since the transportation problems are especially bad and facilities do not even want to run tournaments because they are not as profitable (in many occasions).
Little being done to combat cheating in junior tennis. No real enforcement of penalties for violating concurrent tournament rules. Why not work on modifying the lateness rules in a way that allows for kindness? @USTAEastern@usta
Billie Jean King won 39 Grand Slam titles. On her way, she was a fierce advocate for gender equality and social justice through winning Battle of the Sexes, being one of the leaders of the Original 9, and founding the @WTA and @WomensSportsFdn#IWD2021

.@SecPompeo - mobilization of the Oruc Reis proves that #Turkey is not committed to de-escalation, but to gunboat diplomacy. Hold Turkey accountable for its destabilizing behavior and #SanctionTurkey.
