Comments on: Speak English Or Take A Seat, LPGA Says

Good for LPGA!!! FINALLY we have one organization with the GUTS to ignore moronic political correctness and do what makes sense and is practical. Now, if only our own government agencies could follow suit. The tide is turning on "PC", folks. It will take years to undo the damage it has wrought, but we have to start somewhere. We all need to insist on measures like this at the state and local levels, and take back our country and language, before we become like India: a giant mess where nobody can communicate with each other.

This isn''t even about this country - it''s about foreign athletes. You language bigots are nothing but a bunch of crazy xenophobes who have latched on to this non-issue to feel better about your discomfort at being ignorant and afraid.

You should take up a hobby - hey why don''t you learn a second language?

I do not get it. What do you need to know beyond "fault", "30-love" etc.? Why not have them pass a test on tennis terms and rules? It is not like an athlete needs to be smart or anything.

Aside from the fact they are playing golf and not tennis? Nothing.

I hope you were trying to be funny or do you not know that LPGA is "golf"?

Like you stupid f*ckers watch the LPGA. I bet none of you dumb white trash could pass an English test.

Wonder if US golfers play around the world-universal lingual to be a requirement?Imagine wanting one match in Khazakistan!

Yep. And that should go for the rest of the country. It costs too much to make special concessions, especially in our school system.

Great! This is good for all involved.

Someone not afraid to take a stand!!
