Tennis

It's tricky because in other sports there is no way in hell they will ban their top athlete from the sport if they are unvaxxed. For example, no one knows if Lebron is vaxxed but he has so much power that there is no way NBA will kick him out. Djoko is the current best tennis player. AO is taking a huge risk by pulling him out. Fans will be pissed too

Not tricky

Who has even heard of Australia anyway?

It?s Australian Immigration who denied him entry. AO had a car and everything ready to pick him up.

I mean Australia are really strict in general when it comes to immigration and been that way since way before COVID. Due to how far away they are from other countries they don’t even let you take in some types of food that is allowed elsewhere in the world.

Due to their Gov?s decision to only allow vaccinated non-nationals he just isn?t eligible to go to Australia. Whether you or I agree with this or not that?s their rule.

So last year they had no problem, the tournament was actually very nice with some normal measures, now Omicron comes which is actually a milder variant apparently, and they treat him as some sort of bio-terrorist .

It's all bullshit over-reaction. But now that they did it, they have to save face and be consistent.

If someone would test all fans in a 50.000 fans EPL game in the stands, and wouldn't let them in based on "green pass" or whatever, they'd find at least 3-4000 positives for covid. Footballers are getting covid in the dozens per team, and you tell me a normal person going on the bus and subway five days a week to work is somehow clean as Mother Mary just because he has a code on his phone that "clears" him?

It's a joke.

Now you're talking

[serghei]

Yeah but they're not called DJOKOVIC he's bigger than AO


Irrelevant Politicans continues to clout chase for votes

SAD

" I wasn't allowed to visit my family or live my life it's not fair Djokovic wasn't also tortured by a fascist government you lost my vote unless you backpaddle! "

He's not bigger than the Australian Government. He's a nobody once the discussion is at that level.

Mate this is Djokovic we are talking about, undoubtedly the GOAT if he wins one more GS. He is a big reason why people watch tennis now. What if Messi was denied entry to Qatar?

What are you talking about?

You're legitimately clueless

Stay jot of the thread dawg you're out of your element

How many fucking times do you want me to sit here and say it?

Just to be crystal clear here 2 separate Australian medical boards approved his exemption, the federal government allowed him to compete, and MULTIPLE OTHERS WHO ARE UNVACCINATED WITH THE SAME EXCUSE DJOKOVIC HAS ARE ALLOAED TO COMPETE

is this clear enough for you smooth brains? I'm hanot to say it another 50 times then you can cry about double or triple posting posting all u want

[Mitchell1978]

Sorry he fucked your sister DAWG

Honestly i don't care much about Tennis, i just think he's an arrogant douche and i'm fully enjoying this shitstorm

By the way, in Australia, there must be some 30-35C these days. Isn't it summer there? I remember in some years players were suffering from heat and were complaining about playing in daylight.

Yeah and we all know Omicron is very dangerous ESPECIALLY in the heat like all other viruses. And ESPECIALLY after Djokovic has been quarantined and tested for Covid before competing

He's suchhhh a big bio terrorist those darn anti vaxers

[Messigician]

Hey guys I'm Scott Morrison

My people hate me but I'll get votes back if I treat a tennis star the same way I treat my own people.

Come on daddy needs that federal pension

Weren't viruses more dangerous during winter?

Australia and New Zealand have gone for another strategy when it comes to COVID. They've been going for an approach where they want to eliminate it from the population and when there's an outbreak they shut states down to trace & control and then re-open everything when there's no new infections.

Being isolated from other countries or people moving freely unlike here in Europe or for you guys in the United States they went for this approach since they thought it was doable. I mean the only way in to Australia is what by air and sea? You cannot simply drive to there like from country to country here or state to state there, or through Mexico for that matter.

Strict quarantine for anyone coming to the country, whether they are nationals or non-nationals even if they are vaccinated.

For non-nationals they simply don't allow non-nationals that are unvaccinated entry to the country. They just don't care. It's what it is. They cannot allow celebrities to breach the rules they've set and the approach they've gone for.
