Default Michelle Wie Must Stop!!!

So, I am all for women playing on the PGA - and when Michelle Wie shot under par in her first Sony Open, and had a chance at making the cut, it was fantastic. And I really enjoyed watching Anika at the Colonial. And, one day, I would love to see a woman cash a cheque in the PGA...

But for the love of haleakela, Michelle Wie has to stop embarassing herself in these tournaments and focus on winning a ladies tour stop before coming back onto the mens tour. I don't care that she is taking some one elses sponsors exemption (and she gets enough TV coverage to make Sony's sponsor exemption worthwhile), but she is embarassingly bad.

Women should refrain from playing a majority of sporst against men. This includes golf, hockey, football, baseball, basketball, too many to list. They need to stick to playing against their own gender, as they really have no hope to have success against men.

Even Anika had no business being in the PGA tourneys.

Let her embarrass herself. She wants to play against men, she can suffer the consequences.

I mostly feel sorry for her, and question how she is handled. Whenever a girl's dad becomes their agent they are screaming for problems.

Having said that, I'm still not OK with her or any woman competing in the PGA, if she or Anika or whoever placed they are taking money away from PGA players below her.

I've always believed that if women can play in the PGA, then men should be able to play in the LPGA.

Equality only seems to work one way in situations like this though...

Exactly my thoughts.
Lets see how badly Tiger beats all the women on the LPGA, that'd be funny.
