    The Political Correctness Mob Has Targeted The Masters Golf Tournament.....

    Is this real or satire? That's how bad this whole political correctness nonsense has become. Fruit snacks are taking preventative measures to avoid being torched by the progressive mob. You can't say Eskimo pie anymore. Uncle Ben's Rice is rebranding, as is Aunt Jemima's pancake syrup. Yeah, this is insane. And now, golf is under threat. The Masters tournament, one of the major championships in golf and the most prestigious, has a bad name or something. I'll let Deadspin explain this:


    The name “The Masters” must go.
    The heralded golf tournament, one of the four majors, needs to go back to its original name — the Augusta National Invitational. It became the Masters in 1939.
    Augusta National was built on grounds that were once a slave plantation and was the property of a slave owner. And according to a 2019 New Yorker piece about the course, it’s believed that enslaved Blacks were housed on the property
    .


    Yeah, this is the man who says we need to rename the Masters.

    I am not into golf. But not once did I think they were calling anyone but the best in Golf. The Masters. This dumbass $#@! has gone over the top and needs to be brought to an end.

    I always thought the name referenced the skill of the golfers who qualify to play.

    Until there is real pushback. We have one hundred senators. Where are they? And Representatives? Where are they?

    Has The One publicly told his followers to knock it off?

    Has Biden?

    Where is the utterly worthless Lindsay Graham? Where is my worthless Republican Senator Shelby? Senator Jones is in the enemy camp.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Seeing how they have a history...
    The club long held racist and sexist policies: Augusta National admitted no African Americans as members until 1990[8] and no women as members until 2012. The club long required all caddies to be black[9] and barred black golfers from the Masters Tournament until Lee Elder participated in 1975. In 1997, Tiger Woods became the first person of color to win the tournament.
    I can see why the name is polysemic...

    Augusta National was one of a great many golf courses and country clubs that were at one time 'restricted'. I can't see how changing the name of a golf tournament is going to help anyone today. The word master has multiple applications and only one connotation in terms of slavery. Scrubbing the English lexicon of any word that ever had a negative association isn't going to accomplish anything other than to cause resentment and cost a lot of money. It reminds me of the feminist desire to remove 'man' from any title or occupation and replace it with person. It's like worrying about the curtains when the roof is leaking.

    They will also have to get rid of the Term Master in Martial Arts.....God forbid any Blacks calling some Asian, Master, huh? Even if they are a disciple of Kung Fu.

    True, yet when a word has multiple applications, and one of those applications aligns with the policies and rules in place, how can one ignore how those affected by the policies and rules would regard the namesake? There is no contemporary knowledge of the attainment of a “master’s” degree or being a “master” in martial arts being based on racism or having racist policies. If there was no “restriction” of blacks or women being allowed in the Master’s, this would not even be an issue.
