Photographs of tennis superstar Nick Kyrgios leaving a London nightclub just hours after pulling out of the 2017 Wimbledon tennis tournament have left Australians furious, and none more so than Sunrise panellists Sam Armytage and Mark Baretta.
“A blonde and a brunette, no wonder he’s got dodgy hips” Armytage quipped on Thursday morning, before asking where Kyrgios’s girlfriend of one year, fellow tennis player Ajla Tomljanovic, was.
Baretta agreed, sarcastically commenting, “He wouldn’t have been dancing, obviously, because his hips are in a terrible way.”

Sports... the only work environment where you can't have a sick day! Does he get allocated 10 sick days a year like a majority of the country? Why are we dictating when he can have one, when it is illegal for any other profession to do so. He obviously needs a career change. Off you go mate and find a new workplace with less scrutiny. What I did at 22 and what I am doing now are polar opposites. no reason why you can't go do the same thing. Just a reminder. Try not telling your boss and co-workers to p*ss off just in case you ever want to go back.

Actually, that would apply to many performance/entertainment fields. You have to be extremely unwell before you will cancel a performance.
Many singers actually damage their vocal chords from repeatedly singing when they are sick.
