He speaks English but doesn't like to talk to the media. He's also a very private person who doesn't like to do media in general. Ichiro did for an entire career because he didn't want anyone mixing up his words.

Seems like a weird takeaway from this story. Yes a guy who is rich and spends a lot of time being elite in his craft hires people who help him. News at 10. |

Remember a translator not only translates but also put things in cultural context. Not really a problem with English as English speakers tend to be very blunt and straight forward but Japanese are usually more vague particularly when it comes to speaking with people who you are not friends with. |

Moreover, it's ****ing weird to act as if it's someone's responsibility to learn a particular language in order to live somewhere. |

Also how does Victor Wembanyama arrive from France and is immediately able to know enough English to communicate with the media/teammates, but Ohtani still required a full time translator after living in America for SEVEN YEARS? |

Also if Justin Jefferson came to the chiefs, spoke very little English and played at an mvp level I doubt any chiefs fans would care
