Good for Andy Roddick

Andy Roddick has withdrawn from a tourney in Dubai after a female tennis player was denied an entry visa to Dubai because she is Israeli.
Shahar Peer, the 48th-ranked women’s player in the world was unable to play in the Barclay's Dubai Tennis Championships.
Tournament officials cited local public opinion about Israel’s incursion into the Gaza Strip, the possibility of a spectator boycott and the security of Peer as reasons to deny her a visa.
Andy Ram of Israel was allowed to play in the men's tournament which is currently underway.
And kudos also to the Tennis Channel which decided not to broadcast the tournaments, instead airing the best matches from Peer's and Ram's careers.

The ATP and WTA, as well as all the players, specifically the Williams sisters (who often complain about discrimination -- evidently only until it applies to someone else) should be ashamed of their decision to participate. And Barclay's should have withdrawn its sponsorship of the event.

But hopefully the exposure given this issue will prevent this from happening again in the future.
