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.”

These are the kind of people who will “Make America Great Again”. God bless them...
I really enjoy watching college golf tournaments on TV. Half the female student team members are Asian or Asian Americans. A decent percentage of male college golfers are also Asian. All of them I’ve seen interviewed sound like they have I.Q.’s necessary to attain at least a bachelor degree. On the other hand, most of the football and basketball players who are mostly black, display I.Q.’s equal to or lower than my lowest round of the year. A five over par 76.
My mom got me out of the house for hours that way. And I usually played with my Jewish gf across the street. At the park. And the country club was closed to Jews at that time. But when they opened it up to Jews, they joined. And took me as a guest. My parents would never join the country club because they felt we couldn't afford it.
But my favorite course was the one in my photograph. I live less than a mile from it now.
Because I never played on a golf course! I always drove the beer cart at charity events.
Oh. We never had a beer cart. The only refreshments were at the ninth and 18th holes. This lady made the best sloppy joes at the ninth hole, long gone now. Food’s probably too expensive, too.
You mean like Women's Sports?
Why is it that the most idiotic ideas of people on the Left are given the light of day and all are supposed to either accept them or consider them valid and worthy of further thought?
(Still did, until b-school, and we analyzed some dinky ad he did for a company in the still nascent cellphone industry.
Not that there was anything wrong with the ad per se, it just didn't generate the need for closure in me that the prof said the ad was designed to accomplish.)
Right. And “poor” people can’t afford phones.
Golf isn’t expensive anymore.
Not Asians dominating the lpga, Koreans.
Let's compare:
Basketball - $21
Transportation to court - $0
Court Fee - $0
Golf
Set of clubs -
Transportation to golf course -
Green fees -
Cart fee -
Annual cost:
Basketball - $21
Golf -
Fill in the blanks
Ok, I’ll play!
Set of clubs - free, picked up a couple of sets on the curb.
Transportation - same as whatever it costs to travel to a basketball court.
Greens & cart fee - $20 in the afternoon in Florida.
What do I win?!!
But basically, you and I differ on what “expensive” is. Sure, if you want to go to an exclusive country club (most don’t) then yes, it is expensive. You can play in central Florida for as little as $10.
You live in Harlem. You can walk to 20 basketball courts.
Where is the nearest golf course?
Basketball court - $0
Golf = 5 times a week for a year $5,200
Basketball Court: selling nickel bags four nights per week— +$30,000 per year tax free
Interesting take. What can you make selling coke on the golf course?
OK, Fine bitch.
The new rule is all sports teams must be 1/4 white, 1/4 black, 1/4 asian/pacific islander and 1/4 native american.
NO EXCEPTIONS-NO RULE CHANGES.
Now lets see how many of your BLACK THUG athletes become millionaires in the next 20 years.
The same rules shall apply to all professional sports teams.
That picture is RACIST, if she isn’t BLACK it’s racist because the snowflakes say so.
Is the coach the only ugly one there?
