By Bob Carter
Special to ESPN.com
After he contracted the AIDS virus he was asked, 'Is this the hardest thing you've ever had to deal with?' And he said, 'No, the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with is being a black man in this society says author Ralph Wiley about Arthur Ashe on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series. The tennis "firsts" were served up and chronicled through most of Arthur Ashe's life. They often arrived hand in hand with his color: first African-American male to win the U.S. championship, first to win at Wimbledon, first to play for the U.S. Davis Cup team, and on and on. Arthur Ashe won the 1968 U.S. Open as an amateur. While sports record books dutifully mark these achievements, civil rights and health historians embrace a more substantive image of the man who seldom shied from fighting for what he believed was right. His fight lasted to the final days of a much-publicized bout with AIDS, a personal struggle he had hoped to keep private. An independent thinker who considered himself a moderate, Ashe crusaded against South African apartheid and the treatment of Haitian refugees. He pushed for higher academic standards for athletes, particularly for minorities. He raised millions of dollars for inner-city tennis centers and the United Negro College Fund, started the African- American Athletic Association and wrote

We start off with the initials AA, then AB , AC etc etc and try to name a reasonably famous athlete (No football related) with those initials. Once A has been gone through (the letters Q, U, X, Y and Z can be ignored for both names if you can't think of anyone), then go to BA, BB, BC etc etc etc and see how long it takes us to get to ZZ.......
You may also wish to post a pic of the player in question to refresh our memory where applicable!
Try to name his sport also, and we'll see what sport gets the most (No Footie, btw)
Starting with Arthur Ashe......... Tennis

American Men's Tennis Woes, Part II: 10 Ways To Make it Better
Vote by PleatsnCleats Yesterday, I expounded at length on the topic of what ails American men's tennis. Today, I'm giving my top 10 suggestions on righting the shi...p. Some (Nejoshi) doubt that we'll ever see greatness like we saw before, but I think it's a different day, and a different game (real athletes rule, no smoking in the locker room, etc.) and anything is possible. Without further ado: 1. Take it to the streets. If the USTA wants to fulfill its mission statement, it need look no further than its own backyard. Kids playing basketball, football, basketball (hockey?) exhibiting signs of being gifted tennis players. Sponsor them. Give them shoes, racquets, and some instruction, hook them up with opportunities to get college scholarships to play tennis. Boom. 2. Advertise the game. As I said yesterday , tennis has to advertise playing the game. It has to look cool to play again. Celebrities need to be "caught" playing it. They ought to hire people to play on the courts in populous neighborhoods and invite their friends to play. People want to be a part of something that looks cool. Make tennis cool again.
