“” host Anton Anisimov admitted that he did not expect an outpouring of negativity after the release of the show “There is a theme!” on the coming out of the Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina .
– It was after Kasatkina that I did not expect such an effect. We have addressed the theme of sports citizenship several times in our program. They went pretty well. But we are all used to being constantly discussed.
We hardly talked about coming out. This was granted 15 percent of the program. And this within the framework of citizenship. One version from the studio was that the coming out was fictional and was done in order to gain either citizenship or some sort of preference in Western countries. They started discussing it, I think, on the wave of general hysteria from you-know-who.
Why did they have such a reaction?
– I do not know. For me, it’s strange. People shoot videos, themselves discuss the personal life of the tennis player, she comes out. This is considered the norm. At the same time, people have to understand: when you do such an interview, we discuss it. And there are millions of opinions. Naturally, it can hurt a lot, something may not like it. Not everyone will pat Kasatkin and Rublev on the head. There are many people in our country, I think even the vast majority, do not share this view. They would not like to know that there are lesbian relationships with sports stars. They do not welcome calls for a change of citizenship. And Kasatkina urged young athletes to change their nationality, if anything happened.
Obviously, that would have been discussed anyway. But why can we say all this on YouTube, in Telegram channels, but when it comes out on the show “There is a theme”, everyone says: wow, how is it?! What are you doing?! Is it possible?! – quotes Anisimov “KP Sport”.
Kasatkina, 25, is the winner of five WTA tournaments (including four singles), the owner of the Billie Jean King Cup (2021) in the Russian team.
