Good for Venus that she spoke up, but why didn't EVERY player take Roddick's principled lead and boycott this event in its entirety and leave it completely limp without any players? How could that Israeli (male player ranked 11) set foot in Dubai? Shameful. And I would hope that from here on out the big name athletes and entertainers scheduled for Dubai will cancel.
