Will Pro Tennis Competition Require Health to Be Sacrificed?

by Stephen Lendman

Will the draconian standard apply to professional and amateur sports across the board?

Will it become the cross to bear for employment, education, and access to other public places — perhaps even the right to medical care and entry to food markets?

Is that where things are heading without a mass-awakening in societies against what no one should tolerate?

After police state Australia barred world's No. One tennis star Novak Djokovic from participating in the 2022 Australian Open for refusing to sacrifice his health as a condition of being allowed to compete, draconian French authorities are poised to go the same way.

Last Sunday, French parliamentarians approved legislation that requires proof of being fully jabbed for access to most public places, including sports venues.

According to the Macron regime's anti-health ministry:

"The rule is simple. The (kill shot) pass will be imposed, as soon as the law is promulgated, in establishments that were already subject to the health pass," adding:

"This will apply to everyone who is a spectator or a professional sportsperson." 

"And this until further notice."

"(A)s far as Roland Garros is concerned (the French Open venue), it's in May." 

"The situation may change between now and then, and we hope that it will be more favorable." 

"So we'll see, but clearly there's no exemption."

In early January, France's sports minister said that Djokovic could compete in this year's French Open even if unjabbed.

Did his banishment from Australia get Macron regime hardliners to go the same way?

At this time, he's barred from competing in France as long as stays unjabbed.

He's barred unless agrees to sacrifice his health as a condition to compete.

Will other pro-tennis locations go the same way?

Will competition in other sports follow suit?

Will refuseniks be isolated from societies for protecting their health?

What's going on throughout the US/West and elsewhere has nothing to do with protecting what's too precious to lose.

It's all about irreparably destroying it along with eliminating what remains of free and open societies.

It's about hardening despotic rule beyond where things stand now.

It's about transforming world societies into real life Dante's hell.

It's about complicity between dominant political hardliners and MSM press agents.

Their alliance only despots could love is going all-out to manipulate the public mind to accept what's self-destructive by pretending what irreversibly harms health is beneficial.

Senator Barry Goldwater once said that "moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

The way to beat what's going on is for enough people to say no more, to shift from going along passivity to committed resistance.

If tennis fans boycotted tournaments by staying out of venues and shunning TV broadcasts, draconian policies would change.

The same logic applies to sports and public entertainment across the board.

They're all about money-making.

Winning is by maximizing it. 

If revenue derived is sharply cut, everyone loses.

It's crucial for public moderation in light of what's going on to end.

Ordinary people have power when use it. 

Daily events should scare everyone. 

They should arouse the public to actively resist what's wrecking their health, lives and futures.

"Power concedes nothing without a demand," former Supreme Court Justice William Douglas long ago said.

Draconian authority can be challenged and beaten. 

Social movements can be pivotal forces. Disruptive activism works.

When angered and aroused to defy destructive rules, organized people can beat organized tyranny.

The late Doug Dowd once called hegemon USA "a sick and dangerous nation run by a handful of the politically powerful" figures for their own self-interest at the expense of the public welfare.

Status quo continuity guarantees worse ahead based on what's gone on so far.

The time to turn things around is now by no longer going along with what's eliminating what's most precious to most people.

Resist or perish are the only options.

The right one needs no elaboration.
