Gauff smashed her racket, again and again , pounding it into the ground in a raw release of anger. Thank God that when Omar was attacked in Minneapolis on Tuesday, it wasn’t with a gun, a knife, or a fist. Angry at brutal cold snaps, snow and ice storms, power outages, and a government that seems unable or unwilling to respond. When Coco Gauff smashed that racket, when Ilhan Omar raised her fists, they weren’t just reacting to personal moments. How long until the next racket shatters — not metaphorically, but in a moment of violence caught on camera to mortify us all?
