When Tennys Sandgren Whitesplained Racism to James Blake

Not surprising that I wasn't thrilled to see Dominic Thiem prematurely exit from yet another Grand Slam event. But it's even more disheartening to find out that I can't even be happy for the American who outplayed him -- 26-year-old Tennessee native Tennys Sandgren -- because he seems to live up to every "straight white Christian" male stereotype of a Trump voter.

You'll cringe when you read this exchange about racism with James Blake, who last year took the highest road possible to end a dispute with the NYPD after an officer with a history of force complaints roughed him up during the 2015 U.S. Open. (Instead of suing, Blake got the city to agree to create a legal fellowship in his name within the agency that investigates police misconduct.) 

Perhaps even more disturbing to me is that I found out that Ryan Harrison isn't very bright either, bitching about NFL players who kneel during the National Anthem. You can do better than this, United States. Isn't John Isner MAGA lifestyle enough horror for one tennis fan?

Read how Sandgren -- who espouses the Pizzagate conspiracy theory that connected Hillary Clinton to human trafficking and child abuse -- tried to squirm away during a post-match press conference from questions about his social-media links to the alt-right movement HERE.

He forgot to say "What about black-on-black crime?" -- although I'm sure it's next ...
