"Tiger Woods, other big-time golfers and corporate sponsorships should demand it. In the current climate, with all the sweeping changes, it’s only right and just. Best of all, in this case, it’s a simple and smooth fix.
The Masters never felt good or even sounded good when you said it. And before we hear from the choir about tradition and history, save it. When that history and tradition is rooted in slavery, it shouldn’t be preserved and honored.
Augusta National was built on grounds that were once a slave plantation and was the property of a slave owner."

Ohhhh ... yes, let’s rename it! That symbolic change will make the world a better place and keep black kids from killing each other in the inner cities.

This is just stupid at this point.
What next? Master mechanics? Maestros? Master Locks?
Knock it off.
It is time to tell them get lost.

Oh good lord. Another idiot that doesn’t realize words have multiple meanings.
1. a man who has people working for him, especially servants or slaves.
2. having or showing very great skill or proficiency.
The tournament is talking about definition #2. Having great skill. A tournament of people having great skill at golf. A tournament of people who are MASTERS at the game of golf.

Already at work there’s discussion if Master of Arts is appropriate.

Is everyone that has a Master’s degree a racist?
It means you have mastered the subject. It means you are now an EXPERT in the subject.
Masters, in the golf tournament sense, means you are an expert in golf.
