Feinstein: Wie Still Living in Her Own Bubble

[Q.Q.Quillume]

This a link http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...080402088.html to an article Wie Still Living in Her Own Bubble - Refusal to Admit Repeated Mistakes is Holding Her Back.

I have a lot of respect for Mr. John Feinstein as both a journalist and an author of such books as Tales from Q School: Inside Golf's Fifth Major, Caddy for Life: The Bruce Edwards Story, The Majors: In Pursuit of Golf's Holy Grail and many more.

Agree with Mr. Feinstein or not, IMO it's a very interesting article.

Way to go, John - right on the button.

And thumbs up to you, QQ, for spotting it.

First, let me say, that I celebrated Michelle’s meltdown in Reno by watching Lifetime – television for women. I know that I’ll take a couple of hits here – but it is America – and like Walt Whitman said, “What I assume, you shall assume.”
I not only agree with Feinstein – I am willing to take the misogynist perspective here. Who really cares about female athletes anyways? Even if that female athlete feels compelled to compete against men. I mean, how many self-respecting men out there just can’t wait for the start of the LPGA season? If we have the emotional stamina to ignore Wie she’ll simply go away… I promise. And if she really wants to compete against men – I suggest she pick up a weapon, stand a post, and fight the good fight for our country in Afghanistan. If Nike made a M-16 she probably would. You go girl… go away.

Wait, what year is it? Because, last time I checked, it wasn't 1856. Women have a vote now, you now... and they're also allowed to compete in sports, whether you care or not. I for one love watching womens golf, pretty much as much as I like to watch mens golf. Maybe you could learn something if you watched it too. God knows, most of the LPGA tour could whip 99.9% of the people on this website with 4 clubs.

Also, no matter how important you think you may be, Michelle Wie won't go away if you ignore her, because guess what, she doesn't give a rats behind about what you think! I think your last comment is possibly the stupidest one too... in fact I really don't know how to respond to it, so I won't.

Slightly to the side of the topic: I've read all Feinstein's golf books, and although the man is entertaining, he desperately needs an editor to rein him in. Too much repetition and obvious pasting together of stuff he's written elsewhere.

I hadn't heard about the Reno-Tahoe TD's cut-off of a legitimate line of questioning.

I know I didn't watch a second of the event only because the organizers prostituted themselves by inviting a circus to a golf tournament.
