"At the end of the day, we all have to be humans and feel for one another."
Novak Djokovic grew up in war-torn Serbia. Belgrade, to be exact. He understands what it is like to come from a smaller nation, globally speaking, and to be an outsider. He has made a career of it, unexpectedly winning his first Grand Slam title at the 2008 Australian Open before even-more-unexpectedly winning nine more since 2011.
On Tuesday, Djokovic spoke out publicly about the flood of Syrian refugees seeking safe haven, asylum, or whatever it is called in a particular country outside of their homeland. In the midst of his lengthy comments, Djokovic said, "You can't blame these people." The UNICEF ambassador also spoke eloquently about the International Constitution of Human Rights, referring to the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
