Like I said, it was a joke. I personally know some black people who play tennis. I was just trying to lighten up the thread.
Okay, I didn't get it... :)
BTW, I have a story related to your joke:
I have a friend Todd, who is black, and was the head coach of the Grassroots Tennis program in New Haven. I was a volunteer coach for three years. Each year I would get a free week pass to the Pilot Pen tourny in New Haven.
One year we were there, in full tennis gear, practicing and playing on the courts during the tourny. That day the NY Knicks players were going to take a tennis court, cover it with a special surface and give a b-ball demonstration. It rained though so the court was taken up and the practices were moved inside to Yale's Cullman Courts. Todd and I went in to the courts and played with the Jensen brothers and their sister. After we were done we decided to go back to the main grounds.
We crossed the street and came to the entrance of the tourny. The guard looked at me and said, "Do you need a ride back to the players lounge?"
I said, "No, I'll walk."
We walked along the back of the courts and when got to the middle another tourny worker looked at me and said, "Do you need a ride back to the player's lounge?"
Again, I said, "No".
We got to the end of the courts and a guy driving by in a cart slammed on the brakes and asked me, "Need a ride?"
Todd went nuts. He said, "Look at me! I'm wearing tennis clothes, I'm sweaty and carrying a tennis bag. How come you don't ask me if I need a ride?" The sheepishly drove away.
I looked at Todd and said, "Todd, they know there's only black player here at the tourny and they know you're not him." He laughed and we kept on going.
I had some really great memories associated with those times.
