Tennis star Novak Djokovic is getting a ton of heat for his anti-vaccination stance ahead of the Australian Open. He has created quite a stir for his purportedly selfish mindset despite the recent surge of COVID-19 cases in Australia.
Much has been said about Djokovic, who recently got a nod from officials in Melbourne after initially getting denied entry. Even Brooklyn Nets guard Patty Mills, who hails from Australia, has called out the world no. 1 for not following health protocols. His comments, however, sound remarkably diplomatic compared to what radio host Howard Stern said about Djokovic (via New York Post).
“That f***nut, Djokovic. The Joker, I call him the Joker. What a f****** a**hole. The first I’ve heard of this guy is that he doesn’t want to get his vaccine and he’s running around. They should throw him right the f*** out of tennis.”
The controversial jock was far from done in ripping Djokovic, who has argued that vaccination should always be a personal choice.
“That’s like saying smoking is a private decision. Well, that’s true. But don’t smoke in my face, f***nut. What a dummy. Just a big, dumb tennis player.”
The 34-year-old Djokovic, the three-time defending Australian Open champion, received more criticisms when he recently admitted on Instagram that he didn't immediately isolate himself when he tested positive for COVID-19 last month.
But as it stands, Novak Djokovic is set to compete in the Australian Open next week.
