    Pro golfer Vijay Singh has taken his little balls and gone home because he's afraid of being beat by lady golfer Annika Sorrenstam. What a wuss!! I can picture Vijay in a treehouse, like the Little Rascals, with a sign on the door "No Girlz Aloud". What is wrong with that punk? Does he have little balls in his pants as well as his golf bag?

        Earlier in the week, I think he made some comments that are coming back to haunt him. He did not get any open support from other players when he made the comments. In fact Tiger's response was leaning more to a, What the hell was Vijay thinking, than any kind of support. I think he is just realizing that he should probably pack up because there is no one who is going to stand beside him. It really is an odd situation though, because I don't think she has anything to lose in trying to compete. Even if she finishes last after the first two rounds, she will readily admit that I guess I shouldn't be here after all. But when she finishes anywhere higher than that, she will be able to claim, and rightly so, I belong here with all the others that compete and don't make the cut. And if she actually makes the cut, then it'll be Yeah baby, I belong here! :) Chris Meech "what makes CP different is the people and sense of community, things people will only discover if they join up and join in."

          Annika would have about as much a chance of beating Vijay as I would - and I am a terrible golfer. Not that I care who plays against whom but the women will get my support for their cause as soon as I see them admitting men into the LPGA events. I am however driving out for the Saturday rounds just because of all the hype and media blast - hope Annika is still in there.

            Is that the black guy that was on the news last night, saying (in front of the cameras) that he didn't want to play if the lady golfer was playing because he'd never be able to stand up after being beaten by a woman. No really - this guy actually said that on camera. :confused: And no that shouldn't be taken literally - I don't mean him being physically beaten up by a woman :rolleyes:

              Vijay didnt say it the right way, but the guy has a point that is quite important. Women have the LPGA, women's spas, health clubs, girl scouts, women's schools, and a whole bunch of other organizations that restrict men from joining. The problem is that there has to be a line drawn at some point, otherwise, males will not have anything left of their own. Men cannot lose the right to have organizations that are male only, and we are slowly seeing every male organization being invaded by women. Annika was invited by the sponsor of the tournament so she has the right to be there, and she probably should be there, but I think we should cut Vijay a little slack.

                  Why not let women in if they can make it? It's the PGA, not the MPGA. Of course, the LPGA exists, at least in part, because the women can't compete with the men on the existing courses. Same with tennis. An open competition would find the top players to be the same top men with the best woman well down in the draw. What have the LPGA members had to say about this?

                          He's not afraid of losing, he just doesn't want to answer the constant questions about the dumbass things he said about Annika. But he at least could've come up with something better than "I promised my wife I'd take a week off." What BS Of course, Annika isn't doing any better. She ducked reporters on Monday who were waiting for her to arrive at the course. If she's going to do something that's so high-profile and such a big deal, she's a coward to not stand up and answer questions about it. --Mike-- Latest blog entry: *drool* (Alyson) [May 10] Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber "You have Erica on the brain" - Jon Sagara to me

                                      Is that the black guy that was on the news last night, saying (in front of the cameras) that he didn't want to play if the lady golfer was playing because he'd never be able to stand up after being beaten by a woman. No really - this guy actually said that on camera. :confused: And no that shouldn't be taken literally - I don't mean him being physically beaten up by a woman :rolleyes:

                                      I'm also not sure of the name, but saw the same thing. I found it especially strange that a black man would make these comments after his parents had probably had to fight for him to recieve equal treatment. It's a strange world, and prejudice seems to come in many shapes and sizes. What a shame.

                                        Vijay didnt say it the right way, but the guy has a point that is quite important. Women have the LPGA, women's spas, health clubs, girl scouts, women's schools, and a whole bunch of other organizations that restrict men from joining. The problem is that there has to be a line drawn at some point, otherwise, males will not have anything left of their own. Men cannot lose the right to have organizations that are male only, and we are slowly seeing every male organization being invaded by women. Annika was invited by the sponsor of the tournament so she has the right to be there, and she probably should be there, but I think we should cut Vijay a little slack.

                                        If there wasn't so much discrimination then these many of places wouldn't exist. If she is willing to play as another player under the same conditions then why not ? How better to break all this down ? Elaine :rose: PS I have to look when I go for an interview if they are going to take me seriously or if I will be automatically discarded. It happens. The tigress is here :-D

                                          Annika would have about as much a chance of beating Vijay as I would - and I am a terrible golfer. Not that I care who plays against whom but the women will get my support for their cause as soon as I see them admitting men into the LPGA events. I am however driving out for the Saturday rounds just because of all the hype and media blast - hope Annika is still in there.

The cuckoo clock. Not really correct, dear Mr. Welles, The cuckoo clock comes from Germany, Schwarzwald. (Invented by Mr. Franz Ketterer in 1733) ;) Intresting to see that sometimes, some USies think Europe is one little country... ;)
