It’s not often we write about women’s sports on this site (except to mock them). We prefer to focus on professional sports, which means NOT the WNBA, the LPGA tour, women’s soccer, and other such bearded lady circus sideshows.
But this is one of those rare instances that demand our attention.
Last year, I told you about then-LPGA Tour Commissioner Carolyn Bivens’ plan to require her female golf members on the tour to learn English. (In case you don’t know, LPGA stands for Ladies Professional Golf Association, but judging from the players on the tour the L might stand for something else, as in “The L Word.”)
It was something I applauded. But, predictably, after whining from tour sponsor State Farm Insurance and protests from the many foreign players on the tour and a gazillion Asian American activists who attacked her as a bigot, the women’s golf league quickly backtracked and the plan was never implemented.

Now, Bivens has been forced out as chieftess of the LPGA Tour and her support for the English-only policy has been cited as one of the major reasons for her ouster.
Sad but true, it’s a crime in America to expect your employees, your representatives to be able to speak English and actually conduct an interview with the press in the language of the country which makes you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
English in America . . . out. Political Correctnes . . . well, it’s not just in because it’s no longer just a fad. For at least a couple of decades now, it’s become a classic.
For lesbians who don’t speak English and can’t even come close to competing with the real pro golfers (men), your best bet is the next Dinah Shore Classic. Not sure how you say that in Korean.
But, hey, most of the LPGA Tour isn’t sure how to say it in English.
