Rossi Even MP one of Bivens biggest bashers said he can see she is now appearing to be trying harder. Frankly I can't see one tangible thing she has done that wouldn't probably have happened by itself. We here at MYLPGA are all really good ambassadors for the LPGA. We get nada from LPGA.com they at least should have a link to this site. If they do I can't seem to locate it. WE have three foreign players that will even talk to us. I personally have built up a mini fan base not as hard nosed as the fan base at MYLPGA just some old golfing buddies that thought and said all Lady golfers were the L word. It took some doing on my part and plenty of tricks up my sleeves to get them past that. I would bet you the other folks on MYLPGA has done the same thing and more. What do we receive from Bivens not even a fireside chat and the president of the US used to do that. Communications with your fan base is also very important Rossi, Bivens is terrible at that. I am still not driving her cart or carrying her clubs.

Rossi I would like to thank you for all that you do for us and that you take time to communicate with us hard heads. I hope our self expression you will never take personal.

Right NTB, not ALL lady golfers are the "L word", but I bet your buddies who think (or thought) so would be surprised to learn that they may live on the same street as an "L word" person, or heaven forbid, work with one! Why this always has to come up is beyond me. Do we question the guys on the PGA about their sexual preference? Why is it that because a woman is good at a sport she must be an "L word" person? I shake my head.

Whether or not there are lesbians on the LPGA is not the problem. Haven't we moved a bit beyond that as a society? Gays and lesbians are everywhere whether you realize it or not and even it makes you uncomfortable. The problem in the LPGA that I referred to is getting good and accurate communication conveyed so the organization is not always plays damage control and the fans have to form opinions based on hearing (according to Rossi) less than inaccurate information from the media. A simple first step would be keeping the LPGA website (LPGA.com) up-to-date and accurate and making the press releases easy to find by dating them and putting them in a searchable archive. |

(bring into question their manhood didn't sit well) I would almost get in a fight it would make some mad others would laugh. It would take me kidding them "real men watched girls at play not guys." I always used men phrases. Let's watch some leg, or wait till you see this beauty, or this one gal could do a calendar etc. They will call and ask me if I saw the notice my girl friends getting married. Now they are in the club house turning over to the girls to see who's ahead. Thanks to Annika, Nat, other beauties on the LPGA. The fact that a reputation is a reputation isn't something I conjured up. Weather you feel we should be past it or not doesn't stop the fact that to some men and women it does still matter. There are still media jokes about the LPGA that Bivens never issues a fight about. Two and one half men had a hard joke about it. When Annika was on her book tour she did a tv talk show and never got to talk about her book all the guy would talk about were Liz's on the tour. Sorry Blue society as a whole still isn't past it. Their are still plenty who don't like it. We still have work to do.

NTB, sexual orientation should never be a factor, actually. Personally, I like to watch good golf, and could care less whether the player is gay or straight. The fact that some people are bothered by whether a player is a lesbian or not is rather sad. If your friends are bothered by it, it only shows that they're narrow minded. Your approach of challenging their manhood is pretty slick, though.

MP it worked for the most part but was a bit risky. My point is weather it's sad or not it still exist. It is still a factor that hurts the LPGA.

Look, you can't do anything about your friends' irrational fears so why bother? Most likely they don't want to watch women's golf because they can't handle the fact that the women are better than they are. The tied old lesbian line is just a shorthand for what they're really feeling which is: "I don't want to watch the girls play golf because I can't stand it that they play better than me, and besides that, none of them will have sex with me." |
