Really?
Is there really anything wrong with honoring the first black guy to play in the Masters? It was in 1975, that's not very long ago.
There's useless virtue signaling, but I see nothing wrong with this.

So what's the signaling? The fact that the green jackets chose to honor a black golfer by naming him as a honorary starter?
Why did you leave out members of the historically black Payne College golf team? Or many of the black PGA professionals? All of the aforementioned were present and acknowledged on the first tee.

The club supports them with money and scholarships, why wouldn't they acknowledge them.

Was Gary Player scummy when at the height of apartheid in South Africa he fought for and was able to get Lee Elder admitted into tournaments in South Africa?
It is the height of arrogance for people in this time and culture to pass judgement on what people believed and said in another era, culture, and place.
As if they know they that they would have been any different were they in the shoes of that person, in that culture, in that time and place.

All of those are good things.
But why are they choosing to acknowledge those groups, as well as Lee Elder, this year? Why not in 2019? Or 2015? 2010?

If they fail to include blacks it evidences they are racist.
If they include blacks it can only be shameless pandering.

OK, now address his look at me shtick every time there's a camera present for the last 20 years including but not limited to his son, who has defrauded people in the past, marketing a golf ball company he's an invester in during the ceremonial start of the tournament this morning.

Was he? You could tell by one snap shot that someone put on twitter that he was waving a sleeve of golf balls around for the world to see?

Of course, are retarded or just being obtuse?

Did you watch it? It was for like 5 minutes and the Masters edited it out of the replay.

Why are fixated on the fact that the AN members chose to honor Elder this year?

He has to make everything about politics while bitching everything is about politics.

When would their evolution be of acceptable timing to you?
In what year will it no longer be pandering?

It didn’t bother me at all, but I’m fixated on the fact that some in this thread are more than happy to hide their head in the sand as to why Augusta National is doing this for the first time this year.

I was just now watching it on DVR and didn’t see anything egregious. If you say that the video has been edited from the original, I’ll have to take your word for it. But seeing your attacks on Gary Player had made me skeptical of your attacks on his son.
Posted on 4/8/21 at 10:17 pm to Choupique19
So when should they have honored someone of color and who should it have been?

Got it, so you didn't watch it

No issue with Elder this year, but don’t act like it is an accident.
