Why didn't more people boycott the Dubai Open? Only Roddick...No Venus?

US Tennis Star Andy Roddick boycotted the Dubai Open after the UAE denied to allow an Israeli tennis star a visa to play in fear of protests and violence. Essentially, they discriminated against someone's origin in an international tennis tournament.

Did Andy Roddick do the right thing? Are you surprised that neither of the Williams sisters' (or any other person non-White or non-upper class [generally the typical demographic of a tennis star and the tennis audience]) didn't protest?
