The Brothers Can Swim Too. Cullen Jones Brings Home The Gold

cullenjones.jpg

Just like many of you, I watched in amazement as the USA 4x100 freestyle swim team made a dramatic comeback of epic proportions against the trash-talking French Team (see the link below for the entire race). The last time I was that excited about a sporting event Eli Manning was throwing his Hail Mary to David Tyree.

While the accomplishment in it of itself is amazing, I would also like to give a special shout to the Cullen Jones the second African-American swimmer to medal in the history of the Summer Olympics. By all accounts, Jones is a very classy individual who is well liked by all his teammates. He is a great role model for young African-Americans who now know that sports extend out to more just football, basketball and baseball. While I was very proud to be an American as I watched them all take the medal stand, I was even prouder as a Black American to see Mr. Jones receive his gold.

Watch The US Swim Team and Cullen Jones Make History.

good to see that brother out there doing big things

No offense but Jones is the weakest member if the team.

Peter I had to break it to you but Cullen is one of the fastest swim sprinters in the world

Brother served his country proud

That is a good look

this is all about me dawg

Congrats to Cullen. I watched the race in amazement. I was so impressed with Cullen after the race. He had a press conference where his mother was beside him, I believe. He has been steadfast in his appreciation for the love and support his mother has given him in his life. He is a great example for young Black children to see that we can progress in areas not dominated by us.

Very interesting site. Hope it will always be alive!
