I think the worst part of this is that – unlike the Australian govt who did the right thing and disallowed him from the 2022 Grand Slam tournament so long as he remained unvaccinated – the US government and DINO Eric Adams are probably going to tell him “Fine – come on”
.
He is already starting to make indirect whiny noises directed at nobody in particular but of course the sports world grants him an international platform so EVERYONE WITHIN EARSHOT CAN HEAR HIM.
Those two entities may buckle under pressure from USTA and let him come anyway, so for a lot of us US Open this year will be ruined, if they let his unvaccinated risky behind come, the way Donald Trump used to ruin it when *he* would show up (and pretty much nobody wanted to see him but people would pretend it was all fine).
The United States is full of enablers of narcissistic behavior on a cultural scale, if anybody is wondering what at the end of the day the real problem is, with vast swaths of the planet virtually sinking into a vat of lava and most people either too busy to look up or just turning the other way
I don't know if it's worse if he is, and his unbelievable, ridiculous parents, who have always been like this his entire career, are, tone deaf and oblivious to how they sound -- or if they're completely conscious of their bald, transparently narcissistic manipulations and just don't care because they believe they're entitled to special treatment by, you know, WORLD GOVERNMENTS.
(Remind anybody of anyone?
Chad Wolf. Roger Stone. Ted Cruz.
Speaking of which, I did find another prize clip of Jon Stewart ripping the latter several new ones and everyone should see that.)
Either way, we will move on to things that can bring us joy and laughter for the time being and be grateful that we can and that they're similarly titled which, however jarringly, can make for a segue.
