Can you say: 'Raw-suit'?

The LPGA has decided to put forth a policy that will suspend players who don't pass an english test. My assumption is that many sponsors are using the large Korean contingent and their broken english as scapegoats as to why they won't hand over sponsorship dollars.

Let's get to the real issue here:

Americans love it when Americans win.

They don't want to see another Kim, Park or Lee hoist trophy after trophy on their home turf. THAT is the reason it is difficult for the LPGA to gain sponsorship. Period.

Reality Check:

There are 2 American's in the top 10 on the LPGA money list, 2 Swedes, a girl from Taiwan, a Mexican, and 4 Koreans. In fact, you have to go down to #20 on the money list to find american Laura Diaz...wait, nope, I'm wrong, you have Jane Park at 19, but she doesn't count as an American does she? She, afterall, IS a Park (just kidding Jane of course you count--you just get swept up in this nonsense). If the #1 player in the world was American and there was 5 others in the top 10 and another 5 in the top 20, this wouldn't be an issue AT ALL.

So, the LPGA has taken bold action and is clamping down on those stuttering, english fumbling, (foreign) Korean players. Nice job (is there a rolls eye icon on here?) What world am I living in???? Can they do this? Can they really dictate such a thing??? I mean a large part of playing golf is being quiet!

Sure there are other responsibilities that go along with being a top player, but let's be honest here, Annika spoke english very well but her personality was so bland it didn't much matter what she said since most people tuned her out after just a few words anyway. I am not sure that the inability for these players to speak english is the real issue. If the LPGA is going be outrageous and force the players into something, make it mandatory for players to not be boring. That might actually help matters.

The foreign players have enough to worry about when coming to America like: how the heck am I going to park this huge car I am driving, or why in the world did they give me this mountain of food to eat? and why do I have to shop in the children's section for my clothes? Now along with their mothers, fathers and swing coaches following them around all day, they now have to an english teacher in tow as well?

If I were Korean, I would learn an english word alright: "lawsuit". It might come out as 'raw-suit', but I think the LPGA would understand.
