That was going to be my next question. Why the fox? The only connection I can make is that he is a redhead and foxes are reddish too.

Apparently he's fox like - foxy - devious maybe? I don't know.

What is his nickname?
Sinner is known as “The Fox” or “Jan the Fox.”

I have no idea. I feel like they are assuming it is obvious, so do people think he looks like a fox? Is sly like a fox? Is crazy like a fox? I don't understand the nickname. I figured it was something already existing to make a logo out of it. But, for real, I'm missing what it is. There are things that I get what they are going for, I just don't agree that it's an apt nickname. Here, I have no idea where fox entered the conversation.

I was curious about the charity that Davidodich-Fokina (we need to shorten that to ADF, please) is supporting, ADOPTAS.ORG. So I went to it and found out he is not supporting it, he owns it. The entire website is his, and it is sort of a database on animal shelters and how to adopt pets (dogs, cats and others).
My hat off to this guy. Move to the front group of players to respect, Mr ADF.

^ Good for him.
And he's done this before becoming really famous - so we know that it's genuine, and not just a phony public relations stunt.

(I just hope he doesn't start bringing the animals to his matches as fashion accessories! :roll: )

Not remotely a fan of this ADF stuff. It has no rhythm or flow to it. Might I suggest we just take a note from Alex, he calls himself FOKI on his social media accounts. Way more personality in that.
