This is not dissimilar to the jerk(a bully type) that stood behind someone(whomever) while holding up the "horns/devil" sign behind the unsuspecting person.

Australians were for the most part quite proud of taking a stand against Djokovic. No shame in doing the right thing.

Not Australians I spoke to, who declared it an "international embarrassment".

Australia embarrassed itself last year when the did not allow Djokovic to play, especially what was already known at that time about the injections.

Australians were for the most part quite proud of taking a stand against Djokovic. No shame in doing the right thing.

And today, they are embarrassing themselves again by making a big deal out of nothing.

No shame in taking a stand against Russians trying to use the tennis to get publicity for their atrocious actions in Ukraine. Some people cant read a room or a country. Australia supports Ukraine sovereignty and freedom, even at the tennis.

Their memories of being bombed by NATO are still fresh in their minds. I still remember NATO destroying the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, killing innocent people inside.

One wonders whether you also remember the circumstances that led to NATO action.

It follows a video posted on a pro-Russian YouTube account showing Djokovic's father Srdjan posing in Melbourne Park with a fan holding a Russian flag that featured the face of Vladimir Putin.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Right now Nadal is the GOAT not Djokovic. Djokovic should not even be at this event or in Australia, but for his three year ban being overturned. One law for the masses and another for the rich.
