This article is dedicated to you Executive and Immediate Past President and Chairman of the Board of the United States Lawn Tennis Association (my fingers hurt just by typing such nonsense) I wrote it to enlighten you and your views, hope I achieve my objective on you an others.

The purpose of it is to make you understand how a status-quo guy, you, see things from the point of view of the status-quo and what America sees from the outside, in other words from an outsider like me. ( if this is not clear still, the America that you see is long gone, the America that I see has better days coming).

In the picture above you see your friend to the left, and to the right a very knowledgeable guy who we all like to hear on TV a Tennis hall of fame South African. This is indisputable. The difference between the status-quo guy (you) and the outsider (me), is not on who we see, but what we see. If you watched the US Open this week, you will see both fellows on TV, granted I like Cliff and dislike McEnroe, especially because you paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars for part-time work for years and he did nothing for the sport. Plus his commentary is simply annoying to me. This in my mind is third-world garbage that the sport does not need (favoring old boys).
