Well the "flag protest" has hit the golfing community, and the President's Cup

tournament this weekend. Steve Stricker the Captian of the USA team said the team is going to take their hats off and put their hands over their hearts, and no protest.

Big golf fan, but it is the most lily white, male privilege, right wing bunch-o-folks you can imagine. Strangely, one of the first "we ain't going to the White House" kinda threats I know of was when a Presidents Cup team made noise about not going when Clinton was president.

only fair

can not force people to .................
