(Periodic and important reminder that Djokovic could have avoided all this rigamarole by simply getting vaccinated like 97%+ of his tennis player peers have.)
Let me say this, if Naomi Osaka, or Serena Williams acted in the way Novak Djokovic has acted in the past couple weeks- the tennis association would be sharpening their knives. They hung Osaka out to dry because she missed a couple pressers, meanwhile on Djokovic...(crickets).
Either Djokovic lied that he had covid on December 16, or he knowingly took covid to an event where he mixed with kids without wearing a mask. Neither of these outcomes speaks highly of the man’s character on a visa application.
@DjokerNole@AustralianOpen@AustralianOpen this is a joke. I haven’t seen my family in over a year, but the rich athletes have different rules??? Every junior athlete is mandated to get the vaccine just to play, but the rich can travel and play unvaccinated. At least be consistent. Ethics over money!
@DjokerNole@AustralianOpen The judge overturned your cancellation by mistaking a tennis federation for an immigration service. Bad news for governance around the world, when celebrity & sports administrators come before civil servants & elected Ministers. Bad news for public health when ego comes first.
@DjokerNole@AustralianOpen I’m a huge fan of yours. But allowing the rules to be bent for you when so many others have suffered through them is such lowly behavior. I don’t like that you haven’t gotten the vaccines…but assuming we are supposed to respect your choice…shouldn’t you accept the rules?
