College golf teams are representative of ‘white privilege,’ argues golfer

It is easy for golfers to “turn a blind eye to [their] privilege,” athlete claims

A professional athlete has identified an unexpected source of white privilege at our institutions of higher education: the back nine.

“Golf is a perfect example of the world we live in terms of the haves and have nots,” writes Anya Alvarez at Salon.

Alvarez writes of discovering “the white privilege in college sports” when she learned that less-popular sports (such as golf) are often bankrolled by a university’s football and basketball programs—“the labor,” she writes, “of African-American athletes on the football and basketball teams who make it possible for other sports to exist at universities.”

Ok. Points taken.

My point was, I know lots of people who aren’t wealthy in the least that play golf.

One place we play is right in the middle of poor Latino residential area. Nice course, but you wouldn’t want to be around there at night.

As far as poor ghetto dwellers having easy access to golf, that’s a who ‘nother story.

The only ones doing coke on golf courses are the rich black NBA stars who all think they are Tiger Woods.

Have and have nots?

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one—big hitter, the Lama—long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? “Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga.” So we finish the 18th, and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.

“the labor,” she writes, “of African-American athletes on the football and basketball teams who make it possible for other sports to exist at universities.”

And the labor of men’s athletics make it possible for women’s athletics to exist.
