How woke can the idiots at Tennis Australia get? I've tuned in tonight to see that they've blanked out the Russian flag on Medvedev in the on screen graphics.

To me this is extremely juvenile. Tennis Australia can't differentiate from a Russian athlete vs what the Russian government is doing.

Is this because of Ukraine or their doping sanctions?

It’s not just tennis Australia, every major international sporting competition does it…and they do differentiate between the athlete and the country. That’s why the athletes are still allowed to compete.

The word Woke has become overused to the point of absurdity. The anti Russian sentiment isn’t even a woke thing. It’s a bipartisan thing lol

Bigger issues here ladies and gentlemen.

Why are so many of you interested in the most boring fckng sport of all time? Filled with a collective of the greatest 'vegetable in my own colon' 'sports' people you will ever find?

Get another hobby.

Not allowed to discuss about post convid excess deaths here.
It's an uncomfortable truth!

they didn't do this when america, uk, australia and others invaded iraq
Small difference, US and others invaded iraq/afghanistan to chase terrorists with no intention of actually making the countries part of the USA. Russia are land grabbing. Russia were not being attacked by ukrainian terrorists.
