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.

"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."

I think I watched all the Trump rallies before the Iowa caucuses and I do not recall his promoting warp speed again. It is possible that he has learned a bit about vaccine consequences. He is not a scientist or a medical doctor and he probably believed, back in 2020, that a true vaccine was going to be produced.
Heh ...
No. I may be somewhat cultured, but I’m not a member of the club.
“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.”
And most of them will vote.
Well, he was “mostly alive” during the broadcast.
The deceased was 59.
Mmmmmm, tasty schadenfreude!
Game, set, match
Hey, it would have been worse without the jab.
I wouldn't be so sure.
Djokovic is apparently a strong Catholic. Accordingly, he would be well aware of Christ's warning that He will come for us like a thief in the night, and that we know not the day nor the hour.
I usually bring into the conversation headlines from FR and TheLibertyDaily.com. Some question the topics. They really are nice ladies . . .but what can you expect when they get their information from the mainstream.
These are older women who for most of them get their news from mainstream media. I check out the headlines on FR and TheLibertyDaily before I join them at a little cafe. Some sit in disbelief!
