The sports journalism community is mourning the sudden passing of Mike Dickson, a prominent figure in tennis reporting. Dickson, who was set to celebrate his 60th birthday on January 27, died suddenly while in Melbourne for the Australian Open.
The news of his death was confirmed through a social media post by his wife and children. "We are devastated to announce that our wonderful husband and Dad, Mike, has collapsed and died while in Melbourne for the Aus Open," read the message shared via Dickson's X account. "For 38 years, he lived his dream covering sport all over the world. He was a truly great man, and we will miss him terribly," added the message from "Lucy, Sam, Ruby, and Joe."
While generally respected in the sports journalism space, Dickson was also the author of many stories shaming and trying to cancel tennis star Novak Djokovic.
[snip]
"Novak Djokovic will remain a hero to some, but to many others he has TRASHED his reputation beyond repair," and "Novak Djokovic could ruin his chances of becoming the GOAT by refusing to take the vaccine… it is a strange hill to die on for a player who is so desperate to be loved."

“dead” is one thing, but what about “DEAD?” Capitalizing it seemed to make it more impactful (at least for the fat guy on here who bought it all).

71, soon to be 72, I can say that he was such a young man.
I admire Novak for saying “no” to the shot, and for offering condolences to the family.

Once a week I have supper with some women . . . most of them bragging about how many shots (flu, COVID, shingles, RSV, etc) they have taken or plan to take this year. You just can’t have an all-encompassing conversation with these people.

Classy response by Djokovik.I'm sure he had a smile on his face as he posted it. I know I would have in that situation. Dickson was an appropriate last name for this guy.
