Hating on Novak has become a national sport - James Macpherson, Jan 7th, 2022
Highlights —
... What is it about champions and their stubborn refusal to roll over and do what everyone else is doing?
... Novak’s principled stance has only served to highlight the fact that millions of Australians have allowed themselves to be abused for the past two years. And no one wants to admit that...
... Novak probably wouldn’t have agreed to a 9pm curfew. He probably wouldn’t have forbidden his children from visiting playgrounds. And he probably wouldn’t have missed out on precious time with family because an unelected, unrepresentative bureaucrat said ‘science’. Novak probably would have stood up to all that nonsense. And how we hate him for it! We have to hate him… If Novak is not the devil, then we are all fools – fools for acquiescing to increasingly nonsensical demands and fools for agreeing to endlessly shifting Covid goal posts...
... Get the vaccine or spend the rest of your life under police guard in one of our refugee camps watching Nadal win the championship. There’s your choice. Oh, and welcome to Australia, mate!
... It’s the way of the future, and tennis must move with the times. Next year we could seed players according to their social credit score. If you’re a thrice-vaxxed, hybrid Prius driving LGBTQ ally, you could get a wildcard entry regardless of your tennis prowess...

But there is no escaping what we have seen of ourselves – or the bad luck that’s sure to come with breaking that mirror...
I've seen so much flak flying at him over the last couple of days, people have lost their minds over this, calling for him to be removed/arrested.
If it is a health response and he has natural immunity and hasn't got covid, what on earth have they found in their logic department to tell themselves this is anything other than politics?
