shared: "For me, it's kind of like I'm saying I'm dialed in," Shelton
said. "That's what it is for me."
"I'm
really close friends with a lot track & field athletes who train at the
University of Florida.One in particular, Grant Holloway, who's won the World
Championships like 3 years in a row now.. that's kind of his signature thing.
He just won the world championships, so congrats to him," he added.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
