This is friggin great. We need to support this all over the US, English is the language of the business all over the world. It’s nice to see someone standup to all this PC junk, unfortunately I’m sure they’ll cave and revoke this rule

If you watch any sports shows, you’ll hear about this: link 1, link 2, link 3.

I support it.

I think that the LPGA’s decision smacks of xenophobia.

At least the Beijing Olympics appointed an Esperanto translator, and CRI broadcast daily, about the Games, in this language.

that is unfortunate. and a little strange actually. after all, the nba itself appears to be looking to the growing chinese market, as it looks to increase its audience. so this emphasis on english at this point in time feels somewhat behind the times. not to mention the potential for a pr nightmare here.

As you say, English is the BUSINESS language. These people are golfers. Sure, learning any language is a bonus but I think this should be handled with kid gloves. Is this PC crap? I don’t think so… I think what has brought this on is the fact that the LPGA is dominated by top ranked Korean players. Ban them and you’ll have a washed out field. How about going there and learning Korean? It’s where the money is at.

English is basically the universal language anyway. It seems rather natural that it should be the default langauge.
