"Expecting her—or anyone in her position—to have all the answers is unreasonable."

She is an athlete first and foremost. A transformative athlete. Her genius shows up in real time on the court.

We want these heroic athletes (the ones who have a spotlight shining on them at all times) to provide a lightning bolt of meaning for us. We crave it. They must know something we don't know.

When athletes become this big, this public, they act more like a mirror than a light.

And now the machine has her. The star-power money machine is running overtime. Let's hope her studies in Marketing have prepared her to navigate the madness that has already arrived, but I doubt it.
