DeSantis Demands Biden Allow Djokovic to Play in Miami Open despite Vaccination Status

Florida governor Ron DeSantis sent a letter to President Biden Tuesday demanding Biden allow Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic to play in a major upcoming tournament in Florida despite his being unvaccinated.

“The only thing keeping Mr. Djokovic from participating in this tournament is your administration’s continued enforcement of a misguided, unscientific, and out-of-date COVID-19 requirement for foreign guests seeking to visit our great country,” the governor wrote in the letter slamming the Biden administration.

DeSantis cited the hypocrisy in Biden’s publicly admitting in September 2022 that the “pandemic is over” while still barring Djokovic from entering the U.S. to compete in the Miami Open, scheduled for March 20. Djokovic deserves an exemption from the arbitrary, now pointless rule, DeSantis said.

Natural immunity is now as effective as the vaccine in protecting against the virus, according to the medical journal the Lancet, DeSantis added, making the rule even more absurd.

would go to a Thai restaurant and he would deliberately mispronounce it as “thigh.” If the woman corrected him, he would not pursue the relationship further. What an asshole.

So Ben is suggesting that “tie break” be mispronounced as “thigh break” to annoy Ronnie.

If they were closed to learning the proper pronunciation. What a lack of respect for another culture by choosing this as a relationship “test”.

This says a lot about his wife
