Underdog

I'm not a big fan of American sports: personally, if the USA plays Brazil in women's soccer, I cheer Brazil, and when the Big, Bad Russians played the USA during the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid in 1980, I cheered the Soviets. Unfortunately, we lost.

But I'm happy to see the Williams sisters so successful. In some ways, they remind me of Michael Jackson, except more grounded, literally. I like to see Black Americans succeed in areas where they are not expected to succeed, such as tennis, or golf or presidential politics. I like it when whites or Mexcians do well in basketball or football, too.

Tonight I'm cheering for Venus, again.
