Are these players pro-invasion or something? Sounds like it's the fans with the flags.

Anyways, Tennis Australia is a private organization.

I agree if they have already banned the Russian and Belarusian players, there is no reason to wave those flags other than politics.

They should just ban all flags and everybody plays on the same team!

I don’t agree with this. It’s something they would do, we have to be better. I stand with Ukraine, however how can you tell seemingly innocent civilian players from waving their own flag while they compete for their country. Beliefs aside it’s a given right

This is silly. Plus, the article is pretty clunky. Was this written by a bot?

Am I wrong, or is this not a good thing at all? Imo it’s just helping Russian propaganda. I get it people got feelings and want to feel like they’re doing their part, but I kinda feel like the way you fight propaganda is putting out a message like we don’t support the war at all, but the Russian people have no control over the situation and we will allow them to use the flag to represent the people. Something to that effect.

Those guys look combat ready. They must be really rich or don’t live in Russia anymore.

Ban the fucking Russian players. I’m a huge tennis fan and a fan of many Russian players. Take a damn position and stance. Most of the Russian players live in Florida anyway. Motivate them to emigrate to the Us or Europe. Let Russia lose their talent on a world stage.

Like not allowing Russian flags will affect anything. Don’t let them play. Cancel culture is alive and well.

There is no way those guys are there (with the shirts and flags) without the intention of provoking people.
