This just popped up in my Facebook feed and I found the YouTube video of it.

Having been out in the Palm Springs/ Coachella Valley area this weekend, this hits close to home.

Jacquemot v. Arango
Bartunkova v. Jovic 

Could be a chess tournament.

With those names, it’s difficult to say.

Cultural appropriation…

PS- Arango looked thirsty coming to the net. She looked like she was ready to go two or three more sets in the showers after the ceremony.

Taylor, how 'bout just shutting the fuck up for a little while. 

Quote

American tennis star Taylor Townsend has apologized "from the bottom of my heart" for making disparaging comments about Chinese food.

Her original comments on social media -- followed by her apology -- came before the United States plays Kazakhstan at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen, China. 

Townsend, 29, who is ranked world No. 1 in doubles, posted videos of local dishes including bullfrogs and turtles and joked she would need to "talk to HR" about the quality of the food.

She took to Instagram again Wednesday to apologize after facing a backlash online.

"I just wanted to come on here and apologize sincerely from the bottom of my heart," said Townsend, who said she understood how privileged she is as a professional athlete to be able to travel around the world and experience cultural differences.

"[It's] one of the things that I love so much about what I do, and I have had nothing but the most amazing experience in time here and the tournament," Townsend said. "Everyone has been so kind and so gracious. And the things that I said were not representative of that at all. And I just truly wanted to apologize. There's no excuse. There are no words. And for me, I just, I will be better."

The U.S. is scheduled to play Kazakhstan in the quarterfinals Thursday.
