Help! US Open Sponsors
By Javier Palenque
Three Chairmen of the board in a 4 year period will under no circumstance reveal the results of their mission and work. Let me remind you that the mission of the USTA is to grow the game, so the question I ask is a really confusing one for the brilliant executives:
Can you tell me how much you grew the game in the last 15 years per age, gender, race and zip code?
Since this disclosure would reveal how incapable the board and the executives are they collude and reject under any circumstance to answer the logical question. Now imagine you are a coach, a young player, a parent, a kid, a city and you think investing in tennis your resources and time is a good idea. Then the USTA shows participation numbers that are false and does not want to reveal how much they have improved the game. If you think this is OK, stop reading, where I come from if you are a Chairman you have to respond, that is all. But of course, USTA will not, the evidence could not be more clear. they have destroyed the game and are lying to us all.
So US Open sponsors we need your help to make them accountable, if you don’t do anything, the scam is also on you.
I say NO to ineptitude and YES to growing the game.
