Black In Business

It is time to vote for the blackweblog awards for which I am a finalists. I won in 2 categories last year for best business blog. I can tell you it will be hard to repeat for there are some outstanding competition. I try to have an opinion and not state news that you get get from multiple places. I think you will discover the other 3 finalists have good looking sites full of great information. It is an honor to be in their company. I did not even know I had been nominated again and I am grateful to the one that nominated me.So help a brother out with a vote, vote for blackinbusiness.org

Speaking of competition; lets talk sports. I think out sports stars teach business people a lot about competition and what it takes to win.
Tiger Woods, the man is so good, he has his own race, he is not Black, not White, not Asian but some made up race, I am not sure about the spelling; canabilasian. Tiger you are black in America. He won on one leg and is out for the year. The PGA, ratings down 50% for TV. Who won, who cares?
Michael Phelps, I love his story, a B-More kid makes good. he is cool with the brothers and 8 Golds, amazing. In a Chicago newspaper, he is compared to Tiger, Michael and Babe as the best ever. If you need last names you are not hip to sports. What no Ali, no Jim Thorpe, where does Mark Spitz ranked? Ali is my vote for the influential sports figure ever.
I admit I was down on USA basketball. Now is it possible that the Olympic Gold medal may be a bigger accomplishment than winning the NBA finals.Hey basketball is the brothers sport and deep down inside, no matter how polished, how corporate, it is not lets win for America but rather, we can’t go home again if those white boys beat us. The American team is a racial pride first accomplishment and pride of country second. It is different for every other country in the world. LeBron is the man!
Where are the American track and field stars? where do the Jamaicans train? Some of our stars are on bail or in jail, but the sprints have always been black America’s moment in the sun, every since Jesse Owens kicked Hitler’s in the ass in Munich.
Can you name an American boxer, I can’t either. I remember the 76 Olympics in Montreal. I hung out with the Spinks brothers, Big John Tait, Howie Davis, and the legendary Sugar Ray Lenord was on the team as well.The Cubans were tough but we won the Gold. What happened to our boxers?
Black America is reclaiming basketball; but boxing, track sprints, and baseball are drying up for us. Why? I wish we could say, our kids are getting educated better but that is not it. What gives? It is like the Blackwebolg awards, The competition is getting better. Vote for blackinbusiness.org to win.
