Marque Denmon Brings pro Experience to MVP Baseball classic

19/07/14 at 6.49am   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

“This tournament doesn’t have to have a PA announcer. It would be a success without me. What I bring to this tournament is an authentic baseball experience for these young men,” added Denmon in a tone so deep, so rich, that the hearer can only imagine those words originated from somewhere around his navel and moved upwards bursting out of his mouth, and punctuating the airwaves with a resonance indescribable. Over the years fans of the MVP Baseball Classic have been informed, empowered and entertained by the rich baritone voice of Marque Denmon. He volunteers as the Public Address announcer.

The 15th annual MVP (Mentoring Viable Prospects) Baseball Classic got underway with a bang in Dekalb County, Georgia on Thursday, July 11, 2019, at the Georgia State University Baseball Complex. MVP has become a gateway to collegiate baseball scholarships and professional baseball contracts for Black athletes throughout the country. This year like previous years a bevy of Division 1 HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) coaches were in the Georgia State Stadium assessing the talent on the field. On day one, other than Claflin University’s James Randall, none of the coaches from the smaller Division 1 schools were in attendance.

19/07/09 at 12.25am   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

The nerve of Ted Cruz, (R-Senator-Texas) taking to Twitter on the Fourth of July whitesplaining Frederick Douglass to humanist and former professional football player Colin Kaepernick. Cruz created a twitter storm among white conservatives after Kaepernick successfully convinced Nike, the giant tennis shoe manufacturer, not to roll out a Betsy Ross flag sneaker for Independence Day. After Nike’s announcement they were pulling the sneaker, Kaepernick posted a one-minute video on his Twitter page. On the video, Kaepernick quotes the 19th-century freedom fighter’s 1852 address to the Rochester Anti-Slavery Sewing Society on July 5th. As Douglass’ words roll on the video,

We Are About to See If Joe Biden Has Grit

19/07/01 at 4.03pm   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

Six years ago, several draft Biden organizations sprang up around the country. These draft Biden movements encouraged the then Vice President to enter the Democratic race to replace his boss, President Barack Obama. Biden would be a shoo-in many in the “Riding with Biden” movement thought. He was after all the Vice President for the first Black person elected President of the United States of America. He was the President’s trusted side-kick and had nudged the President into evolving his stance on gay marriage. An evolution which led the Supreme Court to rule in favor of same-sex unions. This court
