engrish only!

chickout this new rule in the LPGA (ladies professional golf association of america):

"August 26.  Orlando, Florida:  The LPGA will require players to speak English starting in 2009, with players who have been LPGA members for two years facing suspension if they can't pass an oral evaluation of English skills.  The rule is effective immediately for new players."


what da???  what happened to the supposed emergence of the global village?  what happened to the land-of-the-free blah-blahs?

the koreans say they're being targeted, given that they're really the only ones increasing significantly in number in the lpga lately.


the organizers say it's for the sake of the sponsors.  and it's an american league anyway.

i say it's silly.


si yao ming ba magaling mag engrish?

Think about it. Its the same elitist sport that disallowed colored people and women to play in the past.
