...He [Djokovic] should resign as the council president immediately and a more decent, moral man should be appointed in his place.
lol. Moral man. Here we go again. A guy leaves his wife for with a daughter for a 17 yo girl and we talk about morality. Sure. Go StanTheMoralMan. Just shut up. This is hilarious. Talk to Federer. He might help you out.
It easy to criticize. But doing something, actively promoting thing, is more challenging. Fed, Bull and Stan were in the ATP council in the past, they left. If they don't like the current ATP council headed by Djoker, let them return into the ATP council in next election and change her.
So the guy who left his wife and 1 year old child to pork a girl 11 years his junior has strong feeling about morality...
You can't question Stan's methods. He wanted to get better as a player and determined
his then wife and child were an impediment to that. He jettisoned them and soon thereafter
won 3 slams in a most difficult era. The man's a pro, he knows what he's doing.
Got to laugh at all the feigned distaste regarding Stan's marital split. These bozos miss the simple fact that, in his choice, Stan represented no one but himself. Wrong or right, and Stan has as much as said he's made mistakes, he's done this for himself. Djokovic, on the other hand, is in a very different position. Especially with Nadal and Federer both claiming he refused to discuss.
Had to have it his way at any cost. Time to own up now.
I will speak of what I feel like in the manner I so wish. You can keep your adulterer excuse bull turd for yourself, thank youYou dont know the whole story and you shouldnt speak about it. If someone doesnt want to live with someone, no mather father,mother or wife for 10 years, he has the right to leave them. Its incredible hypocrite to live with someone just because it would be "right" for other people looking at your life. Stan is a real human, he knows he is not perfect and he live his life as he wants to.
STAN, if you reading this, keep being yourself man ... **** those who think otherwise.
Honestly finding it hilarious that suddenly everyone cares about the morality of people in the ATP governing structure.
What Gimelstob did had been known for months and it wasn't a big deal then. But now that it can be used to attack Djokovic, it's completely disgraceful
LOL
He took a plea deal, which means he was technically not even convicted of the offense he was originally charged with.The court papers and court verdict came out last week. Till then JG was just an accused.
So, any rational person would not want to jump the gun.
What is the difficult part to grasp here ?
This is blown way out of proportion. Like I said before, it’s as if Djokovic is the Sith Lord and the Player Council is the Empire. This really isn’t a big deal. Promoting personal interests is what EVERY professional does. You won’t see any teamwork because it’s not a team sport. Do I agree with Novak’s decision making and choosing to back Justin? No. Am I going to complain and whine and claim tennis is going in the wrong direction? Also, no. I do agree tennis is going in the wrong direction but not so much because of the player council but more so because of who our projected top players are going to be.
LOL, don't even know if this is sarcastic, but this isn't a huge deal at allNah it's a huge deal. Novak got Kermode booted, then got the ATP Finals moved to backwoods Turin, from London.
Levels perfectly valid criticisms about a bad incident in the sport, doesn't even name Djokovic, and that's apparently enough to go below the belt and call him a POS
Real Djokerfan insanity hours in here. Would you guys be saying this or criticising Stan at all if he hadn't sent Djokovic home in epic fashion for all three of his slams and also be at cross purposes with him now? No. And why would anyone believe anything different?
He took a plea deal, which means he was technically not even convicted of the offense he was originally charged with. There was no trial or verdict to speak of
It does not change the fact that a verdict can only be rendered if there is a trial
What a joke.I will speak of what I feel like in the manner I so wish. You can keep your adulterer excuse bull turd for yourself, thank you
It does not change the fact that a verdict can only be rendered if there is a trial
Or the more salient fact that if this incident couldn't have been weaponized to use against Djokovic, it would have been quickly swept under the rug.
Yet here we are.

Are you for real? Stan is giving us a credible look at the divide within the ATP ranks. This divide was hinted at, but seems very real now. Guess how this links with Djokovic..Honestly finding it hilarious that suddenly everyone cares about the morality of people in the ATP governing structure.

He pleaded no contest, which means he didn't contest the accusations. Maybe you think it equates TOTAL AND COMPLETE EXONERATION.He took a plea deal, which means he was technically not even convicted of the offense he was originally charged with.
When you take a plea deal, there is no actual trial or verdict
And that is the only reason why this story has any kind of traction. Be honest here, if Djokovic didn't support JG, how many of the people who are here pretending to be outraged would have done it?Are you saying Djokovic was not a key figure to support JG and oust Kermode ?

So when the judge says “I will find you guilty” that is not a verdict? What is it then?
I am not a lawyer, but the way I understand the plea deal is that it allows you to plea guilty (or no contest) to a lesser offense. In the end, he was convicted of a misdemeanor instead of a felony, with no actual trial.He pleaded no contest, which means he didn't contest the accusations. Maybe you think it equates TOTAL AND COMPLETE EXONERATION.
Not here to please your derriere honeyWhat a joke.
Where did I even imply that I support JG?!Any decent human being who thinks someone beating the hell out of a guy in front of his family and treating women as sex objects is not the man to lead ATP. So I guess that puts you out of the picture, which is quite sad, although not unexpected.

How can Djokovic simultaneously be silent and an advocate?They are 2 big issues
1. JG , being a fetus killer and assaulter
2. Djokovic, being silent , enabler and advocate of JG
The second issue is reflective of his character. The first issue impacts JG's credibility for the most part. The second issue has a larger consequence. Djokovic is a much larger figure, No 1 in the sport, ATG - him being an enabler here and his involvement with JG is outrageous to say the least
How can Djokovic simultaneously be silent and an enabler and advocate?
Hey, sometimes you misjudge people's characters. It happens. Djokovic being silent now is at least better than him coming out in JG's support. Who knows, he might have realized he made a mistake with Gimelstob.He is silent after the verdict.
He was an enabler and advocate because he supported JG and instrumental in ousting Kermode
LOL, don't even know if this is sarcastic, but this isn't a huge deal at all
There were those who felt Kermode wasn't doing a good enough job and he was voted out. Djokovic's vote was one of many. What's wrong with Turin anyway?

And ousting Kermode is a bad because...?
Yes, clearly. Please tell me more about the machinations behind the scenes to which you are privy.Things like this are never so cut-and-dried. This was clearly a coup against a good leader, engineered by a player flexing his newfound muscle behind the scenes to achieve personal objectives and settle personal scores.
It would have been easy for Djokovic to use Gimelstob as a scapegoat and throw him under the bus to score some cheap PR pointsIt was incumbent upon him and would have increased his appeal if he had admitted he made a mistake about Gimelstob
