WTA Toray Pan Pacific Open Tennis Finals 2022

Tennis time in Japan! 🎾 #twosecondstreet #wta

I don’t typically watch sports on TV very often; I get very easily distracted. But plop me down in a stadium, and I could chill and watch sports for hours. That’s what happened with me and tennis as I found myself at the Toray Pan Pacific Open (TPPO) tennis finals this year. (more…)

8月1日、オリンピック会場や関連施設が密集する有明でスタンディング＆ウォーキングに取り組みました！

有明体操競技場、有明アリーナに続いて訪れた有明テニスの森競技場では、男子シングルス決勝戦の真っ最中。しかもバッハが観覧する中、私たちのNO NO OLYMPICS!という抗議の声が会場中に響き渡っていたといいます。(2:30～)

「日本人は五輪を受けている」などと宣っていたバッハ、聞こえたか。我々は受け入れてないぞ！

【報告】8月1日有明スタンディング＆ウォーキング

これは2019年に作成された反五輪カウンターマップである。見てわかるとおり、東京都東京都江東区有明周辺にはオリンピック会場が集中している。

8月1日、オリンピック開催強行から1週間。バッハは前日の記者会見で、テレビでの五輪視聴率の高さに触れ「日本人は大会の開催を非常に受け入れている」と宣った。

ふざけるな！我々は受け入れてないぞ！私たちは競技会場が集中し、オリンピック真っ只中の有明で「オリンピック今すぐヤメロ！」の声を挙げることにした。

集合場所のゆりかもめ・有明テニスの森駅を降りると、いきなり左右にオリンピック会場が広がる。

片方は、この日の午前中まで競技が行われていた有明BMXコース。

反対側は有明体操競技場だ。有明体操競技場は200億円以上かけていながら、実は使い捨ての仮設会場。なんという無駄。ちょうど体操の決勝戦が行われる時間が迫っており、会場には続々とメディアや関係者の出入りが続いている。まずはここで立ち止まり、バナーを広げ、抗議アピール。それからゆっくりと会場に沿って「ウォーキング」しながら日本語・英語で抗議の声を挙げた。

オリンピック一色に染まる��の空気を打ち破るように現れたオリンピック反対派の一団に、メディアは次々とカメラを向け、関係者は怪訝な顔をしながらも目を逸らせない。

5分と歩かないうちに有明アリーナに到着する。我々を待ち構えるように整列し威圧する福岡県警を追い払ってスタンディング！五輪差し止め申し立てに取り組んだ方も力強く五輪中止をアピールした。

毎年10億円の赤字を生みだすと言われている東京都新設のオリンピック会場の中で、この有明アリーナは唯一黒字が見込まれている。しかし閉幕後、その運営権を握るのは電通だ。25年使い倒したあとは都が引き受けることになっているという。357億円という巨費を投じて建設しながら、儲けは電通、負担は���共という歪な構造の象徴的な場所ともいえる。

再び、抗議の声を挙げながら有明の街を練り歩き、今度はテニス決勝戦が行われているという有明テニスの森競技場前へ。

その途中には有明ガーデンが広がる。国家戦略特区で開発されたショッピングモール、スパ、劇場、ホテル、タワーマンションを備えた大規模複合施設だ。賑わっているのかどうかいまいちよくわからないが、同時期に建設されたオリンピック会場群と相まって街全体の無機質な雰囲気を強化している。

有明テニスの森公園は約16万平米の敷地に48面のテニスコート、1万人収容の有明コロシアムなどを有し、スポーツを楽しむ人々で賑わう場所であったが、オリンピックのために102億円をかけて改修され、2017年末から封鎖されてきた。こういう場所は他にもたくさんある。オリンピックはスポーツ振興どころか、一般の人々がスポーツを楽しむ権利も阻害してきたのだ。

(photo by @mkimpo_kid)

道路のあちら側とこちら側からオリンピック今すぐやめろ！と声を挙げる。

NO Olympics!

The Olympics are not what we want.

Stop Playing Games and Save Our Lives!

ゲート前は迷彩服姿の自衛隊が警備している。有明のみならず、オリンピック会場周辺はもうどこに行っても必ず自衛隊がいる。98年長野五輪に反対した「オリンピックいらない人たちネットワーク」の方によると、98年長野五輪ではここまで前面には出てこなかったそう。街中に自衛隊が展開することに民衆を慣れさせ改憲を進める伏線ではないか、ふざけるな。自衛隊は帰れ！軍隊いらない！の声も。

最後は有明「夢の大橋」の「聖火」台前まで歩き、スタンディングを行った。

◆

さて、後で知ったこととだが、私たちの抗議の声は、有明テニスの森競技場で行われていたテニス男子シングルス決勝戦第1セットの間、会場にずっと響き渡っていた。このことは試合後のインタビューで、選手が「デモの声をどうにかしてくれとお願いした」と言及し記事にもなった。

「デモの声をどうにかしてくれとお願いした」決勝に敗れて銀メダルを獲得したハチャノフ [東京五輪テニス競技]（テニスマガジンONLINE） - Yahoo!ニュース

ネット上では「選手がかわいそう」「場所をわきまえろ」「日本の恥だ」と、抗議した私たちに対する批判、というか罵詈雑言が席巻したが冗談じゃない。

私たちにとっては「オリンピックこそどうにかしてくれ」だ。オリンピックは招致以来、民衆の命と生活を踏みにじってきた。そして今、このコロナ禍にあっても医療資源を奪い、感染を拡大させ、人々を棄民化し続けている。一握りのスポーツエリートがメダルを取ろうが、記録を出そうが、そんなことはどうでもいい。いま反対運動を叩いている人たちも含め一人ひとりが安心して生きられることの方が大事だ。

そして、なんと、この試合を「ぼったくり男爵」IOCバッハが試合を観戦していたという。

「日本人は五輪を受け入れた」などと世迷言を抜かすバッハにNO OLYMPICS!の声が直撃した。それだけで、この日の行動は大成功である。

バッハよ、聞こえたか！私たちの意思は拒絶だ！

「男子テニスの決勝戦。トーマス・バッハIOC会長が試合を見守る中、スタジアムの外からはオリンピック反対派の声が聞こえてきます」

Finale masculine au tennis. Le président du CIO Thomas Bach est au match pendant que des manifestants anti-olympiques se font entendre de l’extérieur du stade.

”IOC president Thomas Bach watched his fellow German win the title as a group of about 10 anti-Olympic protesters across the street from the Ariake Tennis Park made themselves heard inside Center Court.”

I know you ask, but can I get those Fun Fact deets on Rafe Shepard?

Oh, definitely! :D 

Also, uh. This got... long. Especially the first question. I’m so sorry. I went down the tropes rabbit hole. 

Which tropes do they fit? Which archetypes? 

For the tropes (which I looked up on TV Tropes, lol), I feel like Rafe fits these pretty well: 

Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Rafe shows his affection towards his friends by patting their head (and ruffling their hair if they have any). None of them are safe. He will pat your head. 

Berserk Button: Doesn’t like it when people bring up Mindoir. 

Brutal Honesty: While not brutal brutal, he will tell you exactly how he’s feeling. No sugar-coating. He doesn’t do it to be mean, he’s doing it to help people improve, but, you know... when he’s busy listing people’s mistakes, they don’t always see it that way. 

Challenge Seeker: He constantly looks for ways to hone his skills, and sometimes bites off more than he can chew. He also gets a bit disappointed when something turns out to be easier than he thought it would be. 

Deadpan Snarker: He has a dry sense of humor. You know that Vine that’s like, “Dad, look, it’s the good kush!” and the dad responds, “It’s the Dollar Store, how good could it be?” That’s him. He’s the dad. 

Death Glare: He has a particularly effective one, or so he’s told. 

Did You Think I Can’t Feel?: Because he does display himself as the Cool, Level-Headed Guy, people tend to think he just... doesn’t have emotions? But he does.  Source: Dude, just trust me. 

Don’t You Dare Pity Me!: “Are you alr--” “If You Finish That Sentence I Will Not Be Happy.” 

Even the Guys Want Him: I mean... when you’re Commander Shepard... 

Genius Bruiser: He’s also good at things that don’t require punching! I swear!

Go Through Me: You’re hurting his companions over his dead body, baby! 

Good is Not Soft: He is a good guy, but he’s not above intentionally hurting others that he thinks deserve it, whether that’s verbally or physically. 

Hot-Blooded: Pours his all into everything he does. He survives things that shouldn’t be survivable because he’s too stubborn to die... and also willpower and skill, I guess. 

Nerves of Steel: He has seen Some Shit. 

Nice to the Waiter: His parents raised him to be respectful, thank you. 

Rapid-Fire “Shut Up!”: Are you trying to bring up something embarrassing he did in the past? “Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut--” Complete with him squeezing his eyes shut!

Screw the Rules, I’m Doing What’s Right!: “Rafael, you can’t--” “Lol ok *does it anyway*” 

Sore Loser: While he doesn’t outwardly express it (much), he does get upset over losing. You beat him in a card game? He says it was a good game and you did well, but I assure you, he is screaming/pouting on the inside. 

Sugar-and-Ice Personality (which is a fancier way of saying tsundere, I’m pretty sure): He seems aloof and stoic on the outside (especially at the beginning of ME1; by the time ME3 comes around, he’s looser and allows himself to show more emotions), but he really does want what’s best for people. He is like an egg... hard-seeming on the outside... but when you crack him open... he is Gooey. 

Thinking Tic: When he’s thinking, he tends to scratch underneath his jaw. 

As for archetypes, I feel like he’d be a mix of The Ruler (leadership skills, power, concern over being in control) and The Magician (strategy, knowledge, anger over not getting his way). 

Do they play an instruments? Sports? 

Rafael is not the most musically inclined person out there. Please don’t make him play the guitar. 

And he likes playing basketball! And table tennis, okay, that’s totally a sport. 

What are some items they always carry? 

An omni-tool, preferably by Ariake Technologies. Also: mints. You never know when you need fresh breath. And a baseball cap. Sometimes people recognize him and there are times where he’d rather not be. 

Other than that... he’s pretty simple, honestly. He doesn’t carry many things with him when he’s off-duty.

Do they collect anything? 

Model spaceships. A lot of model spaceships. 

He’s also said that he collects soap opera memorabilia before, but you know... with his deadpan sense of humor... no one knows if he’s joking or not and honestly they’re too afraid to ask. 

What position do they sleep in?

Curled up on his side. He has one hand under his pillow, gripping a knife. Remember: the man who sleeps with a machete is a fool every night but one. 

Which emoji would they use the most?

🙄

What languages do they speak? 

In the event he has no access to a translator, English, Mandarin Chinese, Tagalog, and Spanish are all languages he’s well-versed in. In Arabic, French, Brazilian Portuguese, and Swahili, he knows enough to tell civilians to get to safety or ask if they need help. Any others and he defers to another teammate.

He also learned some Khelish from Tali. 

What’s their favorite expletive? 

BOSH’TET. 

What’s their favorite candle scent? 

Pecan Pie Bites by Yankee Candle, next question. 

What songs remind you of them?

“Let Me Live / Let Me Die” by Des Rocs, “Higher” by The Score, “Fire” by Barns Courtney... “What’s Up Danger” by Blackway and Black Caviar. 

What animal would you say represents them? 

I’m not too sure, honestly. Maybe a lion? 

Where stereotypical high school clique would they fit into? 

Those jocks, but like... the Nice Jocks. They play Magic: The Gathering and call you “bro.” 

What would their favorite ride at an amusement park be? 

The fastest, tallest, scariest, windiest, and every other kind of -est rollercoaster there is. He will ride it 20 times and then insist on riding it 20 more. 

Do they believe in aliens? Ghosts? Reincarnation or something else?

Ofc, he believes in aliens (in the exist physically and in the encouraging “I believe in you, Grunt :)” way), but I think it would be really funny if he didn’t. 

Rafael, gesturing at who’s standing in front of him: I don’t know. They look like a human to me.  Garrus: Are you fucking kidding me. 

But in the other stuff... no to ghosts and no to reincarnation. 

He sort of believes in the afterlife? He’s not a spiritual person by any means, but it brings him comfort to think about how his parents are in a better place. He hopes that he’s making them proud. 

Do they follow any religions/gods? Do they celebrate holidays?

He’s not religious, but if a friend invites him to celebrate a holiday with him then he’d join. 

Which Deadly Sin do they most correspond to? Which Heavenly Virtue?

Oh, gosh, hm. 

For the Deadly Sin... I’m tempted to say wrath, he’s always got this little bit of rage bubbling underneath his skin. He teeters really close to the edge, and when someone, somehow manages to push him over, he’s volatile. It’s like... he doesn’t get angry easily, but he’s always ready to get angry. 

I have no idea if that makes sense lol.

For the Heavenly Virtue, diligence. He prides himself on a job well done and constantly pushes himself to improve. There’s a reason he’s an N7 and the first human Spectre. He accepts nothing less than the best from himself (and others, which goes hand in hand with his Brutal Honesty). 

If you had to choose one tarot card to represent them, which would it be?

Nine of Wands, possibly! From a cursory search (I know nothing about tarot, excuse me aksdjaklsd), it represents resilience, courage, and persistence when upright, and struggles, defensiveness, and (the use of) inner resources when reversed. 

I couldn’t find a card that made me think, “Oh, this is Rafael,” but that card was the closest!
