M.O.B. Votes:

The US Open is owned by the USGA, not the PGA.

The Open Championship is owned by the Royal and Ancient.

The PGA Championship is owned by the PGA of America, not the PGA Tour.

The PGA Tour actually owns none of the major championships.

So, clearly, this situation is different. Augusta National, an entity in Georgia with access to exactly one property, is not moving their tournament off their property. I'm guessing you expect Coke to cease selling Coke in Georgia now.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

There's a big difference between the two events - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 08:38:13

True, but people were "hurt" by the MLB - Sal CMSU - 4/7 09:34:47

But the Masters is the least inclusive - mizzouSECedes STL - 4/7 08:47:03

Georgia owns the Masters. It does not own the All-Star - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 08:53:36

Georgia owns a golf tournament? How does that work? Can’t - hokie VT - 4/7 08:59:23

Where is Augusta National? How easy would it be to move - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 09:00:55

Georgia owns a golf tournament, because the golf course - hokie VT - 4/7 09:12:19

So racist Jim Crow laws are intolerable and actions - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 09:04:35

That's exactly what he's saying - mizzouSECedes STL - 4/7 09:13:13

My guess is sparkles is a golfer, and doesn’t care about - hokie VT - 4/7 09:23:19

The reality is that for so many liberals these tough stances - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 09:24:33

So are you asking Coke to move out of Georgia? How about - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 09:11:57

I have asked for none of that from anyone - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 09:21:54

Well, the law clearly disparately impacts minority - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 09:43:41

Is there any issue with making sure only legal voters - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 09:56:19

There is an issue with disenfranchised legal voters. There' - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 10:06:54

What legal voter is being disinfranchised? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 10:24:23

Many. - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 10:30:31

Why were they purged? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 10:37:22

People are literally calling for that - mizzouSECedes STL - 4/7 09:14:22

The state doesn't own a golf tournament - mizzouSECedes STL - 4/7 08:56:00

Augusta National cannot easily do the same. First of all, - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 09:07:15

Your “principles” require ease of activation. If something - hokie VT - 4/7 09:15:04

But when it comes to the Masters, Jim Crow tolerance needs - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 08:49:08

irrelevant to biden's comments (nm) - SwampTiger MU - 4/7 08:43:02

Yes, a $100 million dollar virtue signal. - RHAYWORTH MU - 4/7 08:42:08

So as long as Jim Crow laws would be difficult to address - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 08:41:35

Augusta National isn't going to move a tournament they own - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 08:49:02

so why didn't he say that? - dangertim MU

- 4/7 08:51:36

He said he would let the Masters make that choice, just as - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 08:54:51

He wanted and pushed MLB to make their choice - mizzouSECedes STL - 4/7 08:59:03

Because, as has already been stated, Augusta National cannot - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 09:13:18

answer the question. why didn't he just say that? - dangertim MU

- 4/7 10:17:40

The Masters isn't a golf course - mizzouSECedes STL - 4/7 09:15:48

I didn’t know sparkles was this stupid. Wow. Nm - hokie VT - 4/7 09:20:06

You are asking a partisan pos to criticize his guy. Come on(nm) - hefeweizen MU

I'm no Biden fan, of course, but I don't really know what - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 08:58:42

we're not arguing the logistics. - dangertim MU

- 4/7 10:19:18

Why doesn't Biden call for the PGA to abandon the Masters - hefeweizen MU

- 4/7 08:51:18

The PGA doesn't own the Masters. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 4/7 09:14:35

I mean, these are Jim Crow laws - right?(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 08:53:20

Partisans are always so principled (nm) - hefeweizen MU

Democrats can still defend the Jim Crow culture - mizzouSECedes STL - 4/7 09:00:21

Of course - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 08:55:19

Perhaps not, but why wouldn't the President use his Bully - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/7 08:50:29
