Open Censure: Ladies Pro Goof Ass.

The New York Times reports...

Concerned about its appeal to sponsors, the women’s professional golf tour, which in recent years has been dominated by foreign-born players, has warned its members that they must become conversant in English by 2009 or face suspension.

Concerned about their share of the profits, never mind the integrity of the players.

“We live in a sports-entertainment environment,” said Libba Galloway, the deputy commissioner of the tour, the Ladies Professional Golf Association. “For an athlete to be successful today in the sports entertainment world we live in, they need to be great performers on and off the course, and being able to communicate effectively with sponsors and fans is a big part of this.

Never mind said athlete can play golf well.

“Being a U.S.-based tour, and with the majority of our fan base, pro-am contestants, sponsors and participants being English speaking, we think it is important for our players to effectively communicate in English.”

'We want to insure that those fur-iners stop beatin' us up and takin' our lunch money... Hellfire, iffen they cain't talk good English then I says they shou'n't be allowed ta play at all. Sheeeesh, cain't unnerstan a word they says.'
