The LPGA Forced to Rethink Controversial "English-Only" Policy
http://www.blogher.com/ lpga-forced-rethink-controversial-english-only-policy
The Ladies Professional Golf Association recently announced a new policy. The new rule stated that players had to pass an English language efficiency exam or face suspension. Understandably the players, fans, sponsors and the blogosphere freaked out. The Asian American Justice Center has a slight problem with this requirement, though, and are organizing a boycott to try and overturn this new ruling: There are currently 45 South Koreans on the tour and many see this new requirement — which is ostensibly designed to “satisfy sponsors” — as an act of discrimination against this sizable minority in the LPGA.
