Not a fan @ all.
I haven't seen what he has been saying (or how the media know about his views) but given that the media know about it due to him making them public in some domain, that imo is politicising the game:
expressing controversial political viewpoints in the past on the social media platform.
I also think the fact he brought religion into his presser is a publicity stunt and that further supports the view. Like.. that is completely unnecessary for a press conference related to tennis.
Were they made before he started professional tennis or after (
I am really trying hard not to use the word tennys in this post). I guess it has sort of been resolved as they have been deleted but as soon as the media get a hold of something, they won't let it go.
I don't think the "following far-right political figures on Twitter" is the issue. I would imagine its the political viewpoints (publically expressed) that are of concern to the media?
Meh. If Kyrgios is bad, dunno what this guy is...
I agree tennis should be the sole focus, but we have no trouble calling out other people for sharing their views (in any context) however colourful they may be.
I end my post with an extract from Marvin's prior post (a few pages back about tennis + the fact these guys are role models):
particularly as these people are the role-models of the next generation.
