There's a female only golf club in the northeast. When is Costas going to call them out?

How nice of him to remind us. They are the ones that deny it ever happened.

I'm still pissed they let Condi in. It's a men's club and they shouldn't have cowered to the pressure of liberal elitists.


Just for fun, I may try to start joining women's only gyms and other organizations. I'll let you know you how that goes over

I think you might need to sit this out for a bit.

Yes, you said something incorrect in an attempt to argue that discriminatory behavior is OK so long as it does not grab too much of a spotlight. We get it. It's a dumb argument, but we get it.

Just as they are free to be a private club we are free to call them out on their bullshite


and the club is free to run their tournament how they see fit... including who gets on the broadcast. I don't necessarily agree with it, but costas acting like a grandstanding douche is pretty pathetic, imo.

jesus christ:

1. I was going to say Masters but obviously no other tournament would host the masters but Augusta so I just put US Open. I should have said "major"

2. Costas made it clear that it wasn't nightline or something and he wouldnt make a huge deal of it but if he were calling it he would have mentioned it. There is NOTHING wrong with that.

Why should it matter? It's a private club hosting a private event, attended by private individuals, showcased on TV by a private company, and sponsored by private companies.

Just like the private woman's club chooses to do what they want to do...

Why should what matter? racism and sexism?


Nobody is denying you your right to be a racist/sexist, but we're going to give you shite for it. DWI.

My main problem is he's been trying to interject his personal opinions into sports commentary.

I thought the gun comments were a little melodramatic. Not that he shouldn't mention it or even the gun debate but he did prattle on about it. I'm not going to crucify the guy for that though.

do i really need to explain why a club that has existed 95% of its history without anything but white males could be interpreted as racist/sexist? Again, nobody is saying disband Augusta just expressing displeasure for how they have chosen to operate most of their existence.

Don't forget economic elitism. But nothing they do is illegal, is it?

Pomposity and arrogance as well as snobbiness is not a crime
