We have been discussing the pandering "best of" lists on the baseball forum. I just watched "The Best Wimbledons" on ESPN Classic, which was made in 2005. The show listed the 20 most memorable Wimbledons, replete with periodic intervalsof some black guy rapping as the network cut to and from commercials (always appropriate music for a tennis show).
All of the 20 picks were actual great matches, except for two, which were included for pure anti-white, pro-black propaganda purposes, especially number 7, which was Althea Gibson winning in 1957. Nothing about that finals was shown or mentioned other than the final score. Instead, we were told the match was "a seminal moment in the civil rights movement," and that it "inspired a generation of African Americans to take up tennis," which "paid off a generation later with Zena Garrison and the Williams sisters."
So after 50 years of blacks being "inspired" to take up a sport, they have produced exactly three female players worthy of mention. Such a barren white presence in any sportover such a long period of time wouldbe cited as indisputable proof of whites' lack of athletic ability, but with blacks it somehow becomes evidence of their peerless athleticism.
Number three was Arthur Ashe's win over Jimmy Connors in 1975. Ashe was of course portrayed as a saint and Connors a devil. Some black journalist crowed that Ashe "out thunk" Connors to win, blah, blah, blah.
At the end of the show, the narrator, the annoying Trey Wingo, announced that to make sure there had been no worthy exclusions ESPN was going to turn it over to those two renowned tennis experts, Mike

. These two buffoons had no objections to the list, except for a single anonymousletter Greenberg read aloud that castigated the show for not showing more of the Williams sisters. Both clowns readily agreed with that obviously scripted assessment, with Dumbo The Elephant blurting out, "They sure can play," when the show was supposed to be about great matches rather than great players.
