"I just told her I didn't respect her as a competitor," Navarro said of the exchange, per AFP. "I think she goes about things in a pretty cut-throat way. It makes for a locker room that doesn't have a lot of camaraderie, so it's tough to face an opponent like that, who I really don't respect."

"She told me she doesn't know how I have a lot of fans," Zheng said. "It looks like she's not happy with my behavior toward her. If she's not happy about my behavior, she can come and tell me. I would like to correct it to become a better player and a better person."

Zheng clarified that she wasn't upset by Navarro's words. "I'm glad that she told me that," Zheng continued. "I will not consider it an attack because she lost the match."

this is one of three times a US tennis player has acted like a sore loser in the past several days:

Danielle Collins scratches her match due to "injury" as she was losing. After her Polish opponent congratulated her on her career, Collins calls her "insincere" before walking away. She then played doubles 2 hours after her supposed injury.

Coco Guaff argues with chair umpire after losing to Croatia, says "this always happens to me" while crying. (i think some people are debating if her gripe was somewhat fair, but i feel like implying the judge is always out to get you is definintely doing too much. at least she didn't disrespect her opponent 🤷)

Is it not possible to edit the removed comment?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

I didn't try but it seems like being able to edit a comment that was removed by mod would make it real hard for a mod to keep a comment removed. Someone could just hit edit and repost what was removed

It wouldn't be a stray bullet if the tracking was fixed

it is

also a heads up, this bot is stuck on a comment and a post and has been spamming the modlog for hours

[-] What_Religion_R_They@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I'll have a look at it in a minute

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Mod deleted comments probably shouldn't be editable for reasons I posted below and assumed they weren't for those reasons.
