Novak Djokovic compared to Jesus, Spartacus, after being detained in Australia over vaccine dispute



Srdjan Djokovic: Jesus was crucified on cross, now Novak is being crucified

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/tennis/novak-djokovic-visa-jesus-dad-25875995

Djokovic will be forced to spend Orthodox Christmas today alone in the hotel. His father Srdjan claimed he was being “held captive” and added: “Jesus was crucified on the cross but he is still alive among us. They are trying to crucify and belittle Novak and throw him to his knees.

"This has nothing to do with sports, this is a political agenda. Novak is the best player and the best athlete in the world, but several hundred million people from the West can't stomach that.”


Srdjan Djokovic also described the six-time Wimbledon champion as "the Spartacus of the new world that doesn't tolerate injustice, colonialism and hypocrisy” and “the leader of the free world”. His mother Dijana called Djokovic a “sacrificial lamb” and a “revolutionary who is changing the world”.

Djordje Djokovic also read out a message from his brother Novak Djokovic saying: “God sees everything. Morals and ethics as the greatest ideals are the shining stars towards spiritual ascension. My grace is spiritual and theirs is material wealth.”

He's chosen to stay. Just like he chose to hold a superspreader minitour in 2020 that he ended up apologizing for.

Finally, JC says, "Fuck it" and climbs down. The rest know someone climbed down but they don't know who; then elbow throws and kicks begin in earnest.

Yeah, I'm laughing.

Besides, we have much better ways to execute him, like sticking him in a room with Jen Psaki and let her rip on him until he dies of a massive stroke.

YOU, Mr. NO_VAC, ain't no Jesus or Spartacus.

At best, you are a fine tennis player, and do a decent job mimicking other tennis players.

16. Rafael Nadal on Djokovic. He knew the risks and made his own decisions
Fri Jan 7, 2022, 08:49 AM
Jan 2022
Rafael Nadal had little sympathy for long-time rival Novak Djokovic, saying yesterday that he must face the consequences for not being vaccinated against coronavirus. The world number one was stopped by border officials on arrival to Australia late Wednesday and his visa cancelled for failing to meet strict pandemic entry requirements.

The vaccine-sceptic Djokovic faces deportation but has launched a court challenge to stay in the country and play at this month’s Australian Open, where he and Nadal would both be chasing a record 21st Grand Slam title. Nadal contracted Covid last month and said he was a big believer in getting vaccinated to stem a pandemic in which “a lot of people had been dying”.

“I went through the Covid, I have been vaccinated twice. If you do this, you don’t have any problem to play here. That’s the only clear thing,” the Spaniard said in Melbourne after winning his first singles match on the ATP Tour since August.

“The only for me clear thing is if you are vaccinated, you can play in the Australian Open and everywhere, and the world in my opinion have been suffering enough to not follow the rules. He made his own decisions and everybody is free to take their own decisions, but then there are some consequences,” he added of Djokovic. “Of course I don’t like the situation that is happening. In some way I feel sorry for him. “But at the same time, he knew the conditions since a lot of months ago, so he makes his own decision.”

Most of these guys look like “this is a gentleman’s game. I must play like a gentleman.”

Rafa Nadal always plays like the ball insulted his mother.

He apparently knows that the flub is probably not the racquet's fault.

This politician got drunk and propositioned a woman in very crude terms.

Afterwards, he compared himself to Jesus (favorably of course).

Nah, doesn't have the same ring. Of course Spartacus never said that, nor was he one of those hung on a cross, being dead and everything. But I guess one myth is as good as another for the deluded.

A massive outcry was had by all.

Burnt their records (my mate got all his cousins records) and other stupid crap.


Question is will there be that kinda backlash with this showboat who is NOT Jesus, or God, or the Holy Ghost?



I didn't even know who this was except for DU. He can keep being nonexistent to me.

36. Tall Poppy Syndrome
Fri Jan 7, 2022, 02:21 PM
Jan 2022

Australians have a cultural thing called "Tall Poppy Syndrome". The tallest poppy gets cut off first. Which means that, if you have achieved something great, society will cut you down to size. In other words, Aussies don't like stuck-up people. They're going to treat you like you're a regular person. I remember hearing an Australian actor talk about the time that Tom Cruise filmed a movie in Australia, and the entire Australian cast and crew thought he was a jerk.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome

In other words, the more that Joker acts like he's entitled to special treatment, the less he will get.
