Trend

There were times, and I am sure it still is when one could go to any hidden corner of the earth and find a Chinese store, food stand or local drinking hole. When I went to the Caribbean, no matter what island and didn't matter how far into any local neighborhood I always saw small Chinese storefronts. In the local casinos the Chinese men were a steady presence. I saw men sit at the tables, dressed like they just came from work and they pulled out such a wad of cash that my eyeballs almost popped out. 

This presence might still be there, but I noticed others. Weirdly, I like to watch golf. I think it is a fine sport and I find it fun to watch. Lately I noticed the presence of many Asian players. Korean, Chinese and other Asian natives can be found in front lines of professional golf. This applies both to the men and women. Korean women are exceptionally good as the Korean men. I am surprised at the Chinese professional golfers. China is a communist country, golf is a capitalistic pastime. This is a funny coincidence.

Maybe the money is the big draw. The good ones make tremendous amounts of money both from winnings. placements and promotions. Unquestionably this beats any 9-5 job.

Tennis is another sport that is being limited to certain types of individuals. Like in athletics the 100m and 200m sprints are ruled by blacks, tennis is being ruled by Slavic individuals. Russian, Byelorussians, Czechs, Serbs and similar others are in the frontline of the ratings. Somehow, Americans are falling by the wayside and can not make even the quarterfinals. This applies to the men as well as the women.

Again, I am sure the draw is the stellar amount of money to be made without really trying. Professional sports have this "mystical" draw over young people. Don't go to school, just be good at one of these moneymaking sports and then you are set for life. Providing one is not stupid enough to squander all the money. 

I was never any good at any of these money sports, thus I worked 9-5.
