The LPGA Backs Off

Recently, the LPGA, had adopted a policy to suspend players that cannot speak good English. I knew it would not take long before they would back off. That's why I didn't write a post about it, because it was a ridiculous policy. Lawyers, sponsors, players, and fans have let their voices be heard in regards to this and they obviously yelled loud enough.
Carolyn Bivens, who is the LPGA Tour commisioner, said she will have a new plan by the end of the year. This new plan, however, could still see players, who cannot speak English, being fined. That still is unacceptable to me. What are they thinking?

"We have decided to rescind those penalty provisions," Bivens said in a statement. "After hearing the concerns, we believe there are other ways to achieve our shared objective of supporting and enhancing the business opportunities for every tour player." reprinted from the Seattle Times.


What are your thoughts in regards to this matter?
