[i]Sorenstam is naturally, physically incapable of competing with men on the same level in professional golf. Minorities are not naturally, mentally incapable of competing against whites in academics. If this is your argument, we don't need to discuss any further. Affirmative action is remedial in nature. Sorenstam's sponsor's exemption is not. This is all I'm going to say as I hate when people drag race into issues where it doesn't belong to rally people to their side of the argument. It's childish.
Kiss my ass. I'll be ignoring yours.

I'm late to this debate, but I am all for Sorenstam being let into the tourney. If they can grant an exemption to Arnold at 78 years old, they can surely give one to her. If she sucks, then so be it, point proven. If she doesn't suck, then that's good for golf, isn't it? More attention, publicity, etc.
It's a game. It makes money because people want to watch it. If more people want to watch Sorenstam than Joe Blow who's struggling to earn his card off the Nike tour, then that's the market at work. I think the people who run the Colonial were brilliant for inviting her.
