Every time I read that article detailing the abuse, it gets worse and worse. The evidence is overwhelming. The fact that there are people who are willing to deny this is terrifying.
I don't usually like using the phrase 'if this was your daughter/sister/mother' because I think your moral compass should be able to recognize horrific instances of abuse and exploitation regardless of whether or not you are personally connected to said situation, but if there is anyone who supports zv*rev who reads this, please, for one second, imagine this happening to someone you know, someone you love. Imagine them trying to inject themselves with insulin to make it stop, imagine them sporting bruises all over their body because someone just tried to choke them, imagine them running out onto the streets into the middle of the night because they're afraid for their life. And imagine them running to you for help and imagine denying it, because that's what the ATP did. And imagine the person who did that to them walking free - winning slams, losing them, whatever - and not rotting in jail. And if you can still justify that, you're a monster, fuck you.
We all wish he hadn't won the slam, but that's not the point, even though it makes it undeniably harder to end the glorifying and worshipping. He won today, he will probably win again tomorrow, and he will probably keep winning, because he is a top tennis player.
The point, as has been illustrated by multiple people here before me, is that he should not have been playing in the first place. And of course, the fact that this monster will be celebrated and praised makes it extremely important that we remind ourselves of this and we make sure no one forgets. We do what we can with whatever power we hold, even if all you can do is repeatedly say: fuck the system that protects the abusive.
