When Michelle Wie, the 16 year girl who has been granted 10 sponsors exemption to play in PGA tournaments was asked to state her opinion of men playing on the LPGA tour, she responded;
"I think my perspective on this is that the British Open is not called the men's British Open," Wie said. "It's called the British Open. And so is the PGA, it is called the Professional Golf Association. There is no Men's Professional Golf Association, no Man's Professional Golf Association. Whereas our PGA is called the Ladies Professional Golf Association and the British Open is called the Women's British Open. So I think it is very clear."
True, some things are very clear. Like how to qualify for the PGA tour. Just in case any of you didn’t know, it’s an extremely grueling qualification process and almost as difficult to keep your status the next year without having to re-qualify. FYI Wie never even came close to doing either.
Miss Wie, other things are just inferred. Most bathroom signs don’t explicitly say men’s or women’s they just have a picture. Now if only the PGA and LPGA had a similar system.
Ok so this post is pretty much average. I know I’m cranked by this, I just don’t know how to express it in a humorous way. I just feel like Wie playing in these tournaments is taking potential prize money from others who deserve it more, because they have qualified legitimately, the lesser players who are not making mad coin on the PGA and are struggling to financially make it. The guys finishing 80th at the tournaments.
OK so most of you need to stop reading now. I’m pretty livid and I know something is gonna come out that won’t be fair.
I’m serious. If you’re easily offended hit the back button now. Sail away. Scram.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you, here comes Take 2.
Seriously Wie, some things are just inferred…. like you don’t need to be white to join the KKK it’s just presumed. You don’t need to be brown to join Al Keada, once again, just kind of understood. (I know I spelled it wrong. It's so I don't get flagged by the FBI) Hey. Don’t give me that look! I warned you it wouldn’t be fair or nice. If you don’t like it, go write your own blog. This one belongs to me sort of, I'd say 50% belongs to me, the other half belongs to my feelings and opinions.

It burns me the Wie gets waived into tournaments. Vijay Singh caught a lot of unfair slack for opting out of the first tournament Wie played in. Good thing for Wie Tonya Harding isn't a golfer. Images would plaster the internet of Wie on the tee crying "Why Wie!! Why Wie!! after being 'Pinged' on the shin.
