As we celebrate one year Sunday July 17th, we are giving back to community by raising awareness about a sport that has the potential to re-establish & strengthen community. That is what Steve Chagnon and the Tennis League Network, located in major cities in the US, is all about as they engender engagement and networking at the community levels while popularizing the sport and providing opportunities for tennis players and interests to get together to play at the non-professional level. We here at The Neoliberal Round Podcast and The Neoliberal Corporation are working to do our part in promoting & developing tennis by facilitating awareness and providing free tennis racquets to children & young people in communities such as Philadelphia, where racquets are very expensive and tennis is seen as a "white/privileged sport," but it is not. We have been going to basketball courts to demonstrate tennis visibly among these groups so that they can become interested, aware and motivated to want to play. We also give racquets to these interests who eventually begin learning to play the game. But we need your help to do so & have given out over 100 racquets already, that we have restrung and re-gripped for prospects we meet at in these communities at parks. We discussed this with Steve who indicated during the interview that he will donate some racquets to our efforts. The interview with Steve was about one hour long and we learned his motivation for starting the Tennis League Network which is running in 44 cities: Boston, Philadelphia, L.A., New York, D.C., etc. He stated that the Tennis League Network is celebrating 17 years and is about to begin its Summer Flex league tournament in several cities beginning July 20th. There is also the fall league which will begin in September. The winners and top players will square off in Miami in December. In fact, over 125 players compete in Tennis Philly alone, while New York, Boston and L.A. have even many more competitors. In the interview, Steve stated that he does not get any support from the USTA and that they have a different idea about tennis and how to develop the sport which is not necessarily ideal or working. Steve explained that while the women are doing well, men's tennis in the US needs help as there has not been much top players from the US in recent times. However, he stated that the USTA's team tennis is effective in developing tennis and developing competitors who can compete and win but that more can be done at the community levels and that programs like the Tennis Leagues Network can be supported in a more effective way by the USTA which may help to boost awareness among younger people & rediscovering its growth & popularity which has lapsed or slowed over the years. His vision for the Tennis League Network is to move beyond just having singles tournaments and having or adding tennis socials; whereby more than just two people meet up for any given match. He is hoping to have tennis parties and networking events that hosts several competitors and players in one meeting. We concluded by talking about the current top players in the league and he explained that each top players from the various leagues will meet up in December to compete against each other. All are invited to come to the event in Miami, December 2-4, 2022. For more information about the Tennis League Network, you may visit them at www.tennisleaguenetwork.com. You can register there for tournaments, meet other players in your city and or become a supporter by donating and visiting any of the tournaments coming up. Also, you may also register for the competition coming up in December where all the leagues in the network get together to compete against each other. The Neoliberal Round & The Neoliberal Corporation will cover some of these events when we can and will join Steve and the league to promote tennis by sharing opportunities like these and doing a tennis racquet drive.

Zelenskyy: It’s Day 18. We Hold Key Positions. Close The Skies. We’re Going Through The Worst Odeal.

In summary, President Zelenskyy said: It’s day 18. We hold key defensive positions. Close the Ukrainian Airspace before it gets worse; Russian bombs have already neared NATO’s borders (within 20 miles).  Negotiations are actively underway between Russia and Ukraine and this has led to the more than 10 corridors that are opened today so that  over 5550 refugees were able to securely leave Kyiv, Kharkiv, Melitopol, Donbas and other regions safely except for Mariupol which remains blocked by Russian troops. They are working on getting that reopened. He visited the wounded and handed out medals today and spoke with several European leaders who assured continued support and shared concerns about the wider implications of Putin’s goals and Russia’s invasion is closing in on their (EU’s) borders. He ended by saying: We are going through the worst ordeal in our history and in our lives to protect the most precious thing we have. We must hold on. We must fight. And we will win...

Police Reform in #America Must include Rebranding the Police ...Change their “LOOK”

By
#PoliceReform Must also include rebranding the #PoliceForce; changing their anti friendly countenance, stance, color,  clothes and updating their car. Their “LOOK” needs to become more customer or #CommunityService Friendly. Moral Authority is a currency that has lost value for Law Enforcement and when a currency looses its value it must change, the state must intervene just as the Federal Reserve Bank intervenes to protect its monetary value of its currency in this case the state needs to constantly intervene in the currency of its law enforcement. But this has never been the case. #Democrats and #Republicans are all guilty of their indifference and soft approach to dealing with and restoring  the credibility of the police. States always seem to fail to act or are too slow to protect the integrity of its people and the currency of its police due to political and ideological differences that has nothing to do with building a strong #Policdforce for all people. A force that ser...

What is the “Ultimate” of All Things? By Renaldo McKenzie

By
What is the ultimate of all things? That we become one with reality and with humanity in all of our individuality. A man said “Once you label me, you negate me” (Kierkegaard). I ndeed,  culture of categories, groups and labels minimize, mitigate and or manage change.  Change is not possible when the people are divided. This “Divide” put people against each other. So that, those in “Power” can remain... panning to their “divide” in effect forming a shield of defense that protect their resolve against those on the other side of the “divide”.  Thereby, solidifying their Power and perpetuating the issues that bind and create strife. Indeed, Power uses whatever tools available to it to get what it wants and to maintain, at the unsuspecting “laymen” who are tricked in putting their membership in a group over their membersip of humanity; and shouldn’t this be a crime to put our group over the whole. For isn’t it the ultimate of all things that we are “One” so that none is above ...
