I'm more of an athletics fan tbh. In sports you're competing against a person or a team, but in athletics you're aiming for a record so you're competeing against everyone who has ever lived and everyone who will ever live, which is way cooler.

So, the club I've supported for 20+ years just got bought by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.

I'm conflicted, because technically we're now the richest club in the world, but you know, they behead journalists for writing the truth about their regime.

Tennis Australia backflips on 'Where is Peng Shuai?' T-shirt ban at Australian Open

Quote
Tennis Australia has overturned a ban on Australian Open spectators wearing T-shirts referencing the controversy around Chinese player Peng Shuai.

It comes after security and police at Melbourne Park on Saturday ordered two spectators to remove their T-shirts and a banner with the message "Where is Peng Shuai?"

Tennis Australia said it confiscated them because they were political.

But it has now softened its stance.

A spokesperson said the body would now take a common-sense approach to ticketing conditions and it would allow certain messaging as long as there was no disruption to the event.

Peng's wellbeing became a matter of concern among the international tennis community and human rights groups when she appeared to allege former Chinese vice-premier Zhang Gaoli had sexually assaulted her in the past.

After the social media post was made, she was absent from public view for almost three weeks.

When she did appear in public again, she said that she had never accused anyone of sexually assaulting her and that the social media post had been misunderstood.

News of the decision came as the activists behind the campaign were making their way to Melbourne Park, with plans to wear the T-shirts again on Tuesday.

Max Mok, a human rights activist involved in the initial protest on Friday, welcomed the news and said 1,000 T-shirts would be handed out on Saturday at Melbourne Park ahead of the women's final.

"Let's hope Tennis Australia keep to their promise and let the crowd wear them," Mr Mok said.

Mr Mok said he hoped Peng would now enjoy more "regular freedoms", as a result of public advocacy in Melbourne and around the world.

"Can she actually start doing interviews with Western media? Can she play in tennis matches outside the country?" he said.

Drew Pavlou, who was behind the GoFundMe campaign to print the T-shirts which has now raised over $15,000, said the news was "excellent".

He claimed that Tennis Australia confiscated the T-shirts initially because of large sponsorship deals with Chinese companies.

"They were so worried about losing powerful sponsors, but the backlash from this campaign was even more powerful," he said.

Refugee advocate Craig Foster said Tennis Australia's decision was an important move for Australian sport.

"Human rights do not exist outside the sporting environment, they are inherent in everything we do, including hitting a tennis ball, kicking a football or swimming," Mr Foster said.

"Sport everywhere, and particularly in democratic countries where freedom of speech is a vital social pillar, cannot allow itself to be shaped by commercial interests at the expense of human wellbeing.

"Sport should not sell its soul, no matter who or how much is on offer."
Tennis Australia is really the worst.
