If you’ve read this column for any length of time, you know that I'm often bewildered by the way ESPN shows tennis, yet hides it at the same time. The network has spent a significant amount of money over the last two decades buying the rights to the four Grand Slams. Its biggest, and perhaps final, coup on that front came last year, when it secured the U.S. Open from first ball to last with an 11-year deal worth $770 million. Despite that commitment of time and cash, though, ESPN still covers and promotes tennis sparingly, almost grudgingly. There are no analysis shows devoted to it, and few commercials for the channel’s upcoming tournament coverage. Even during the majors, highlights on SportsCenter are sparse.

Espn = jews promoting blacks. Tennis = richer, whiter, conservative sport, hence antithetical to Espn's political mission. Edit (in 4 minutes)

[notice how the writer, who is well knows, stumbles on to what is actually going on without understanding what he's come across... the point he didn't make is that a disporportionate amount of the curiously understated coverage of tennis is devoted to...black Serena Williams...and her hopeful successor Sloane Stephens]

Should add...the writer has stumbled onto something he doesn't understand, which I've supplied above. The next point to make, supporting the thesis, is that a disproportionate share of the curiously limited (but dearly acquired) tennis coverage is devoted to the black Serena Williams and her hopeful successor, Sloane Stephens.
