THIS is a racist comment...

Anyone who has read that Rush racist comment thread knows that I believe what he said was not racist at all...

THIS is racist.

In the course of answering Kessler's questions about the LPGA's marketing problems, Stephenson said: "This is probably going to get me in trouble, but the Asians are killing our tour. Absolutely killing it. Their lack of emotion, their refusal to speak English when they can speak English. They rarely speak.

"We have two-day pro-ams where people are paying a lot of money to play with us, and they say hello and goodbye. Our tour is predominantly international and the majority of them are Asian. They've taken it over."

Four of the top six players on the LPGA money list this week are Asian, including Se Ri Pak, Grace Park, Hee-Won Han and Candie Kung.

"If I were commissioner, I would have a quota on international players and that would include a quota on Asian players," Stephenson told Kessler. "As it is, they're taking American money. American sponsors are picking up the bill. There should be a qualifying school for Americans and a qualifying school for international players. I'm Australian, an international player, but I say America has to come first. Sixty percent of the tour should be American, 40 percent international."

Where are the cameras?

I'm glad Asians are 'dominating' the LPGA tour.

All of a sudden the game needs sex appeal? I'm guessing womens golf has been doing fine for the past 20 years or so without it. I don't think guys watch womens golf to see hot women teeing off...cuz there hasnt been any. All I've seen were a bunch of wrinkly old hags with nasty fucking tan lines, most of them overweight. Annika Soremstan is suppose to be the cover girl of women's golf? Is that the best they can do?

I'll admit, I did see one hot female golfer on t.v...and she happened to be asian

That quote had nothing to do with sex appeal.

I know, but she does state it in the article diffusionx posted up

"We have to promote sex appeal. It's a fact of life. The people who watch are predominantly male, and they won't keep watching if the girls aren't beautiful," she told the magazine. "That's not just the LPGA Tour, either. In Australia the highest-rated television event is the women's surf championship. Why is that?

"Everyone wants to skirt it, but it's true. You have Tiger and Phil and Adam Scott and Aaron Baddeley. They are gorgeous. Their clothes are beautiful; everything about them is exciting. So we have to catch up.

"The women are not the best players - the men are. The women are not the best athletes - the men are. Whether we like it or not, we have to promote sex, because sex sells. I think you have to shock."
