What do you think of the LPGA making players speak English?

Question

Do you think this is racist?

Answer 1

no not at all..this is an american league and should be required...that's whats wrong with this country now why should we have to learn there language cause they wont learn ours...it should be a requirement and if you don't like it leave..this is the english speaking united states...

Answer 2

I agree with the LPGA doing it before the PGA........the majority of LPGA players do all or at least most of their playing in the United States........however in the PGA you have alot of people who earn spots to a major or a couple of random tournaments from all over the world every week....there is no reason for someone who is gonna be here four weekends outta the year learning english......but the women are here the majority of the season so they should be required....it makes perfect sense..........I could see there being a limit on how much time you spend here as a PGA player and being required if you play so many tourneys here in consecutive seasons........

Answer 3

KJ Choi and Angel Cabrera, 2 regular players on the PGA tour, do not speak much English and use interpreters during interviews. Should the PGA tour also have to change the policy?

Answer 4

Since the majority of tournaments that the LPGA puts on are in the US and since there is a growing media coverage and interactions required of players today...the reality is that they do need to speak english and not just through an interpreter....it has nothing to do with race...its just plain business.  

Answer 5

Everyone in the United States and those who are earning a living here should learn to  speak the language. There is nothing racist about it.Since the Korean invasion of the LPGA I have no desire to see a wave , or hear an interview through an interpreter or watch or attend a tournament,
