    So his comments were insensitive and wrong but you ridicule those who take exception to them?

      It’s not taking exception, it’s the degree of it. His comments were more unprofessional than sexist and xenophobic in my humble opinion. I agree with the other poster that he should know more women golfers where he works in the golf industry. There was one woman who wrote he should never be allowed to step on another golf course, isn’t that a little too extreme?

        It's always interesting to see which way a person is magnetized in a situation like this: are they primarily concerned about the initial statement or the reaction?

        You're telling us which is more important to you. That's good information.

          Tact and phrasing. He used neither. "Some Indian or Asian descent kid is gonna win the Spelling Bee" vs "I am glad that we've reached a level of society and diversity that anyone can win the Spelling Bee, no matter what ethnicity. That shows that our education system is working."
          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            It turns out Hank knew what he was talking about. Hopefully he gets his job back.

                Hopefully he learns from this. Like I said, he's not wrong, but the way he said it was stupid.

                      His job is to know and promote golf. He admitted he couldn't name any players.

                        This is incorrect. He said he couldn’t name more than half a dozen. At the end of the day his prediction was correct though.

                          To give him credit for a correct prediction is laughable.

                          Johnson: “This week is the 74th U.S. Women’s Open, Hank.”

                          Haney: “Oh it is? I’m gonna predict a Korean.”

                          Johnson, laughing: “OK, that’s a pretty safe bet.”

                          Haney: “I couldn’t name you six players on the LPGA Tour. Maybe I could. Well … I’d go with Lee. If I didn’t have to name a first name, I’d get a bunch of them right.”

                          Johnson: “We’ve got six Lees.”

                              I can be tactful when I choose to be. In that situation? BE TACTFUL. CHOOSE YOUR PHRASING CAREFULLY.

It all depends on how golf players do well during the play season, or if we talk about online bets - would you trust the system of slots at all. I did once, last month, and won 305 bucks. I want to try some more times, but I'm afraid that I will lose at those attempts.
