On and off the court, Naomi Osaka<\/a> glistens as a role model. At the 2020 U.S. Open, we witnessed her valiantly sport\u00a0 customized black face masks emblazoned with the names of those who lost their lives to police brutality \u2014 a riveting act of defiance against the oft-diminished relevance of “politics” in sports. And earlier this summer, we watched in awe as she faced off against the old guard of the athletic world during her refusal to partake in post-match press conferences<\/a> and ultimate departure<\/a> from the French Open. Like the rest of us, Mattel is recognizing her burgeoning stature as an international change agent<\/a> with her very own Barbie doll.<\/p>\n
