Andreescu beats Williams to win U.S. Open

Not to worry.  Serena got a cheque for over 1 million US to take home to her white husband.  Caribj is cheering all the way. More money in the bank.

A street will be name after her and a parade for her home coming. 

Well done Andreescu.  Her upbringing and tennis training in Romania paid off.  

Raptors, and now US open. Good season for Canada

Was great.  It’s not all about the money.  Sense of Accomplishment matters!

Canadians have something more to cheer other than the most beautiful PM!

and we live in one of the greatest countries

Serena is still my best girl though. Her 23 grand slam titles did not come as cheaply as Margaret Court's 24 .

That said, congratulations to 19-year-old Canadian Bianca Andreescu.

Prashad would like his boys Johnny Mac and Borg to make a comeback. Tennis has not been the same since those two guys and Ash/Cooners left.

I have been reading up on this Margaret Court. Seems like this woman may have some serious hate toward gays. Not very tolerant towards people who may be born that way.

And Amral add to the list. A good neighbor.

I was not tolerant towards this LBGT thing myself at one time. But later I said to myself live and let live. Who am I to judge. God made all of us, let him be the one to judge.

Now I have some great LBGT friends and they are cool. But they know I will not cross the line and they respect that.

Many times we make the mistake of judging people through our premise today completely disregarding the era which those people exist in. That is doing a disservice to how we see the world today. I don’t lose sleep on how anyone choose to live as long as they don’t try to impose on my space.

I was not tolerant towards gays myself until I worked with a young gay male. His hands and walk moved different from us straight men. He told me that he was not gay. Ten years later I met the guy on the street and he told me that he became gay. That was when I realized those people were born that way.

I worked with some gay men. They are the nicest guys you will meet. I never hated gays but at one time I always made jokes about them. God made all of us. If he did not want gays, he would not have made them. There is enough room in this world for all of us to live in.
