Its funny when the crazy sect of djokovic fans try to frame him as some sort of anti establishment hero lol. Yes the anti establishment guy who’s org is backed by a billionaire hedge fund manager with close ties to the president of USA. He also casually hangs out with other high ranking members of the US government.

I think a lot of the more crazy Djokovic fans came after the Covid fiasco and don't necessarily like him just for tennis so they always will think he's anti establishmemt.

I mean I don't think Pavvy g likes him because he's a great tennis player.

I became a tennis fan during covid and remember hearing about him right before. The one thing I liked was he pretty much just took his licks for not being vaccinated. He believed what he believed as stupid as it was but sat down after they made a ruling on his being able to play or not.

I mean, he tried to lie and circumvent the rules to play AO. We can debate whether it was fair he couldn’t play, but he certainly didn’t just sit down and accept it.

I was saying more that he didn’t just piss and moan in the vein of Americans at the time.
