Djokovic, as an unvaccinated player known for advocating personal choice when it came to vaccinations, was not welcome.

Freedom? You don't need no stinkin' freedom, pal.

Fiance and I planned a trip to Nova Scotia.....just because.

Shoulda looked at details first because you have to show vaccine passport. No passport required apparently if you travel to Canada. Other than the vaccine.

Won’t be going to Nova Scotia.

Just a thought. Weather vaccinated or not should conservatives not travel to places that require vaccine passports? I would think that as a matter of principal and freedom, Not. But what do I know. I just have principals that I’m not willing to compromise.

Yes, Novak Djokovic refused to take an experimental drug that does not prevent Covid. Australian politicians are exercicising thought control and power. It is sickening. Wake up!

In the words of Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, “This tournament, this Grand Slam tournament – one of the big four – is much bigger than any one person. It’s very simple, just get vaccinated.

Australia wants so bad to be relevant.

They just showed they are pfascist instead.

Grand Slam.. yeah.
More like ground ball to second..

And let’s hope the other big 3 do the same.
Exclude the world’s #1 player because he isnt into medical tyranny

In this case, a “their country, their rules” shrug of the shoulders would be perfectly appropriate. Australians are perfectly capable of fixing their Branch Covidian problem over there. They apparently have no interest in doing anything about it, so why would anyone outside the country lose any sleep over it?

Too many have their heads in the sand and have no clue as to what is afoot. Djokovic may not be a virtuous hero but he is a harbinger of things to come.

My thoughts exactly. If I were in his shoes I never would have even appealed the first deportation order. I would have packed my bags, left the country, and never come back again for the rest of my life.

He did everything he could to play. If he didn’t, some might have said he chose not to appeal to avoid playing and losing a tennis game.

Would you have gone there to play in a stupid tennis tournament in 1939?

Some made 100s of millions of dollars playing these stupid things.

I wonder what the sentiment would be here on FR if the case involved a Mexican or South American who was refused entry into the U.S. for a soccer tournament.

If the cause of deportation was being a bad example because he didn’t get vaccinated, I hope Americans would overthrow the government.

Uh, whut?

The guy's won something like a gazillion major tournaments. He gives a crap if anyone thinks he's afraid of losing the next one? LOL.

If you're going to get on here and claim that you'd overthrow the government over an immigrant from Latin America who was refused entry into the U.S., then I'm going to call you out as an FBI stooge looking to stir up trouble here on this website. Get lost.
