American tennis player Ben Shelton reached the 2026 US Open final after defeating fellow American Frances Tiafoe in the semifinals. He later finished as the tournament runner-up after losing to Alexander Zverev in the final. He became the first American man to reach the tournament’s final in decades.
But the mainstream media, which is mostly left leaning, couldn’t keep from bringing their politics into the final.
Ben Shelton is clearly a bi-racial man, his mom is white and many believe his dad might also be from a mixed-race background. That didn’t stop the politically driven media from referring to Ben as a black person as much as possible.
Even during an on-court interview immediately after his semifinal win he was put on the spot by the woke network interviewer who tried to make the moment about race. “It’s been since 1972 since a black man played in the final of the US Open” the interviewer said. Ironically, his white mom was standing nearby at court side and was shown briefly during the interview.
The deception must be for political gain. Why else would the Left push the false narrative in almost every sport. I think many on the Left feel the more they can brainwash people to self-identify as black, the more votes they can potentially get for the Democrat Party.
