What the hell is a tyranny lover posting here for? Did you forget to stop at DU?
“What the hell is a tyranny lover posting here for?”
Not sure if I fall under that classification with my history. All the definitions of tyranny I could find were about oppression. And that is always discretional by who is defining it. If the government of Australia is more concerned with their population than the privileges of a foreign tennis player that shouldn’t have been there and tried to side step the rules of the country’s government to get in, then that’s at their discretion. And the people that are complaining about it don’t mean anything in the endgame as the tournament didn’t mean anything either.
Professional sports are nothing but entertainment now. A couple of hundred years ago games were used to decide disputes. Some of the practices created were like the invention of golf in Scotland. But today, they are nothing more than an opportunity for people to gain money or worth. And sitting at the tube watching a tennis match and observing the sponsors at breaks, is not going to find a cure for the common cold.
You and I have a different point of view. I give you that point and don’t try to insult you like you did to not accomplish anything positive. Try being kinder to yourself by recognizing other peoples’ opinions as theirs and that they have the privilege to have it. I spent half my life defending your opportunity to have yours. At the moment you teach me nothing.
