LPGA Won’t Force its Players to Learn English
By Jesse Singal - Sep 5th, 2008 at 5:20 pmGood news about that ridiculous LPGA plan to suspend players who don’t speak English:
Under increasing criticism, the LPGA Tour on Friday backed off plans to suspend players who cannot speak English well enough to be understood at pro-ams, in interviews or in making acceptance speeches at tournaments.
LPGA Tour commissioner Carolyn Bivens said she would have a revised plan by the end of the year that would not include suspensions, although fining non-English speakers remains an option.
This obviously isn’t ideal because fines are still on the table, but it’s still very much an improvement.
