It’s bad enough the candy market is completely unregulated, but to add to this when a Tennis Pro starts peddling candy and exploiting the sport that I love and my son plays — I need to take a stand. Tennis already has a reputation of a sport that discriminates against everyone ( more on that another time). I simply think the fact that she is marketing this product is wrong and someone needs to take a stand. We all agree that sugar and candy is bad for you. I especially love “ Serve yourself some pink lemonade gumballs and chew them up on the court. Winning sure is sweet. Maria will your 20 calorie 4 gram of sugar balls make me a winner on the court. Well you are a winner and you are my hero so yes I will chew them on the court. The first one becomes rubbery quick so I can get a new one every 3 minutes . 20 balls 400 calories but I am a winner . And a portion goes to your foundation.
Maria, people look up to you. My son looks up to you. Young girls & women who appreciate your accomplishments look up to you. Your agents and management are looking to collect their percentage off every deal and don’t necessarily have your best interests in mind. And certainly not the interests of people on whose lives you make an impact.
Think about it… over an apple.. would you?
