I think this last AO was as politicized as a presidential debate where the partisan moderator joins one side, acting more like a member of a pro-wrestling tag team for one of the contestants. If you remember that happening here in the U.S., you'll get what I mean.
It's tough when you have the referee/umpire/judge, and in this case, government, working for the other side.
Maybe tennis will become the next pro-wrestling where we all know the outcome is fake.
