A League for their own

I play ALTA tennis here in Atlanta for a year. The opponent fans that I'm impressed with are the Koreans that follow their teams. There are many Korean teams in that league but the support they give is the same. Very uniformed and coordinated when they cheer. Very positive to their teams. There is no ebb and flow very sustained.

Unfortunate that these Koreans don't have a facility to cheer a team. There is no colleges for Koreans with an athletic program like you see with black colleges. Not only Koreans but Indians, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Middle Easterners and others. I'm not sure how to start a college or if I even want to start one. But I do want to see these minorities attend sporting events in a big league fashion. (By the way, how come there isn't a college for Hispanics when there is so many of them and bilingual education is in demand).

Maybe not a college. One thing, college sports are difficult to maintain in smaller venues without sponsors and consistent alumni support (which creates sponsorships as well as winning) Second, where I'm going to find players who would come to a school and sacrifice his or her ambitions to go to a better known school which has better academic standing. Finally, those parents will come after me hard for taking away focus from their studying kids.

Hmmm, maybe a pro-league of some sport just for those folks. I try to keep a small schedule maybe seasonal. An industrial league, a bank league, a corporate league, hospital league, industrial complex league, or some league? Very costly and hard to get the word out as well as hard to pay players. I just want to give those folks a platform to cheer. A pro-league?

I don't like the big leagues where it feels large and alienating. The players make it fun but the owners, ticket folks, sales people, managers, vendors, MEDIA, and clannish fans just don't make you feel welcome as an individual. They are not engaging and are to themselves. Sometimes, they harass you and feel entitled to be prejudiced towards you if you try to engage with them with the action. The male Chris Everts' bitches ask questions to get an edge or just be bitches for the millionth time. The "Where are you from?" is standard asking like the police. They look at you as a criminal. Ah I know, "it is their job or you don't know them or they don't know you" card. Whatever, this is a public venue of a public event or events. Where is Bill Veeck?.

You have to come "posse style" for them to back off. But, you really lose your passion to cheer for your team. It is not only with Major Leagues but Minors too. You can talk about ticket costs or "the players you can't identify with bull" but the "cliquesareus" is the biggest problem in the BIGS. That is why I find it unfortunate that these Koreans cheering for their tennis teams, can't do it on a bigger stage. Maybe that is good thing because it is not all about money but the sport.
