This says something, I'm just not sure what....

VS.

Anyone who watched, reads about, or listens to golf news has heard about the comments made last week by LPGA golfer Anna Rawson. While being interviewed on Australian radio, she made some rather provocative remarks concerning the LPGA, it's makeup (or lack thereof), and the caliber of play taking place on the tour. Her comments were quite direct, and her tone seemed to lack malice - nonetheless, the PC gestapo are on her like a duck on a June bug

There has been plenty written about what she said, and if you believe the press, she should be drawn and quartered....banished completely and forced to write "I will never speak my true opinion again" a thousand times on a chalkboard. Well, now come these results from an online poll (still active) on Fanhouse.

Do you find Anna Rawson's remark offensive?
No73%
Yes27%
Do you think the LPGA has improved?
Yes
84%

No
16%


That's right, 3 out of every 4 people had NO PROBLEM with what she said, and more than 4 of 5 people feel that the LPGA HAS improved. Admittedly, the viewership of Fanhouse is decidedly male, and men are not the "gender who may have been offended by her remarks". However, those statistics are pretty overwhelming...perhaps the general public really DOES think differently than the mainstream media....hmmmm, imagine that. Can the Apocalypse be far behind ???
