Wow, what a prick!

What do you make of Djokovic’s 3 year ban from Australia?

I think he's far too important for the sport for that to be strictly enforced. Unless Covid is still a thing this time next year and Australia is still being an asshole of course.

Yeah I thought it was overkill as well. I feel like the whole reason this happened was just trying to prove a point so they may stick to their guns and enforce it.

Yes, apparently he really does. No surprise there. First thing I thought of while watching the video was *the Russian McEnroe*.

Living the "Bad publicity is good publicity" mantra. Johns a master at it.

Good to see you, ribs.

Good to see you too, P.

I always thought it ironic that McEnroe had artistic touch and spin-playing elegance yet was such a brat, lol.

We have a few guys like that in disc golf. In tennis, where there's an audience and you're kind of in a bubble and everyones watching it can be entertaining, but being in a group of 4 or so on the disc golf course and some dude starts kicking and throwing his bag because he shanked a drive or missed a putt, it can get real awkward.

I tend to imagine those people in a home environment. If they can't control their shit in public, imagine what their families go through...:/
