Agree 100% PGA has one or two racism reminders but they're too busy to dwell on stupid stuff.

I play golf and really enjoy the game, so its an important part of my exercise and interaction with others now that I'm retired.

I'm still paying some attention to the Detroit Tigers strictly on the radio. Don't know what will happen with the Red Wings, but the Lions are the main concern. They have sucked so long that for maybe the last 20 years or so I figured the odds are someday they win. But it looks like the NFL is going to be the worst for torture the white fans. I don't think I can do it.

Trash me, and my country and I'm gone.

A couple of good quotes from the article;
Nelson Mandela

Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.

And oddly one of the best quotes I ever read from Barack Obama;

There’s a direct line between people loving Ernie Banks, and then the city being able to come together and work together in one spirit. . . . Sometimes it’s just a matter of us being able to escape and relax from the difficulties of our days, but sometimes it also speaks to something better in us. And when you see this group of folks of different shades and different backgrounds, and coming from different communities and neighborhoods all across the country, and then playing as one team and playing the right way, and celebrating each other and being joyous in that, that tells us a little something about what America is and what America can be.
