(TJV) 59-year old sports reporter Mike Dickson, who despised tennis star Novak Djokovic for not getting vaccinated, suddenly dies while covering the Australian Open.
Dickson spent over a year attacking the tennis star Djokovic for exercising his personal freedom to refuse the COVIDF jab
“Novak Djokovic could ruin his chances of becoming the GOAT by refusing to take the vaccine… it is a strange hill to die on for a player who is so desperate to be loved,” was one of the many headlines Dickson wrote.
He also penned a Q&A article titled, “NOVAK DJOKOVIC Q&A: Why is the world No 1 so adamant about not getting the vaccine? How much is he giving up in the process? And more importantly… what happens now?”
His death was announced Wednesday by his wife, Lucy, in a joint message with the family on X, formerly Twitter. It was confirmed by The Daily Mail, the British newspaper where Dickson had worked since 1990.
“We are devastated to announce that our wonderful husband and Dad, Mike, has collapsed and died while in Melbourne for the Aus Open,” the Dickson family wrote in a post on his X account.
“For 38 years he lived his dream covering sport all over the world. He was a truly great man and we will miss him terribly.”
At the moment, it is unclear what exactly caused Dickson’s death.
