ARTICLE FROM foxsports.com (Full story click here)

P.S. I agree with Jason Whitlock regarding Jim Brown and his blasting of Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan and what they do and do not do in the inner city and speaking out on issues.

I respect Jim Brown big time. He is flat out legend. One of the greatest athletes ever. And I respect him for his work with gang members down in the LA area. What he does is great.

But just because he does things in the community his way, does that mean Tiger and MJ has to do it his way in the community? The answer in my opinion is no.

Tiger Woods does A HELL OF LOT with his Tiger Woods Foundation plus he gives clinics for inner city kids all the time. And Jordan gives millions to charities. He gave big money after Hurricane Katrina and on and on. (Pic of myself and MJ right here)

Brown has to realize that people do things in the community there way. In my opinion Tiger and Brown do there part for the African American community in there own way. Not Jim Brown’s more outspoken way. Let’s give Tiger and MJ a break. GC

P.S. Glad to see Mayweather is healed and ready to fight Marquez on the Sept 19th. He may be in for a big surprise in this fight.

I think the time away from the ring my hurt Floyd. He thinks it is nothing but two years is long time. Juan has been fighting and keeping busy.

Floyd has to be very very serious in his training for this fight because this may be his first loss in the ring if he is not careful. This is going to be a real interesting fight and I am looking forward to seeing this fight in September. G.C

Angel Star Torii Hunter Is A Role Model For Inner City Kids

ARTICLE FROM toriihunterproject.com (Full story click here)

P.S. In the media, too many times when it comes to minorities in the sports world, we hear about negative stories. And not about positive ones and positive people like baseball player Torii Hunter of the Angels.

Hunter is on a mission to get young inner city youth interested in baseball. The amount of African Americans playing baseball in the majors is down to 8% to 9%. This is alarming.

A few teams in the majors have zero African Americans on the team. Here in Seattle, the only African American on the Mariners is Ken Griffey Jr.

It seems young African American kids turn to basketball and football at around 12 or 13. They see Kobe and LeBron and Shaq and KG and D-Wade and Barkley on commercials and NFL players like Reggie Bush and others too but see ZERO African Americans besides Derek Jeter and that’s it.

Torii and NY Yankee pitcher CeCe Sabithia are working hard to say baseball is a great sport. And go to schools and have camps for inner city kids.

We need more Torii Hunters. And maybe soon their will be more Ryan Howard, Orlando Hudson and PJ Upton starring in MLB. Gordon Curvey
