And some of you .......

Have the audacity to call Pitts a racist? What a joke that is! And how
silly you sound saying it!
What do you call requiring foreign golfers to speak English? These are
not cheap words on some obscure newsgroup, this is real action.

Do we not forget that thiis year Inbee Park donated $50,000 to the LPGA
foundation and Mi Hyun Kim made a $100,000 donation to the victums of the
Greensburg, Kansas tornado victums. Maybe they should ask for their money
back. And maybe when foreign nations host our players, they should
demand we speak their tongue. Stupid and sad.

This may not even be constitutional. No lawyer here, I believe it is not.
Someone will get egg on their face when this is all over. You heard it
here first!

Will be a long time before I watch LPGA again.

I think the LPGA screwed the pooch on this one.
Maybe they should have gotten all the top Korean players to pose for a
sexy shot with the slogan: "Girls of the LPGA: We Love You Long Time!"

Actually it is and legally justified. Those who try to challenge in
court will likely lose.

This action on the part of the LPGA is one of those that makes great
headlines, but isn't nearly what everyone is making it out to be.

The LPGA said that AFTER 2 YEARS, the members must be able
to handle very basic interview questions, interact with pro-am
partners,
and work with sponsors, using english. And for those who didn't read
the
fine print, it is ONLY for "members". Yes, they are not employees,
but
none the less, it is a reasonable part of membership. The number of
businesses that require similar skills, virtually to be hired at all,
is hard
to quantify because of the large size of the number.

It may not have been "rolled out" in the most media friendly way,
but
it is really no sillier than making Lumpy pee in a cup to prove he
isn't
using performance enhancing drugs.
