  Asian Pride Woke up only to find that I already missed the 1st set of the Paradorn Srichaphan vs Andre Agassi tennis match... Talk about divided allegiances...On one hand I'm a big Agassi fan...Wore his sneakers, use his gear...tried to play like him...operative word.."tried" On the other hand...you have Asia's pride in the tennis world...The thai Srichaphan...It was nice seeing someone of my skin color mixing it up with the big boys of tennis...
Throughout my life...I've had western sports heroes...Agassi, Sampras, Jordan, Baggio... For once...it sure feels good to be rooting for an Asian... Surprisingly though...If Srichaphan happened to be from Singapore...I wouldn't be caught dead cheering him on...I think it's because Singaporean athletes are an arrogant bunch...Nothin feels better than watching Singapore sportsmen believe their own hype...only to watch them wallow in bitter defeat... Remember Team Singapore...you are not Goldberg...SO DON"T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!! For the record, Agassi won in straight sets...7-6, 6-3, 6-4
