I will take Wie's future over Pressel- heck even her present but not about that
PGA pros withdraw all the time and never get this scrutiny. I am not defending it. Just saying it happens ever single week on tour. EVERY WEEK but no one says anything. NEVER
The rule about the 88 is a stupid one.
Mickelson quit last week and if he played this week no one would have raised an eyebrow. NO ONE
She has been injured this year so no comment on her play other than she should focus on the LPGA.
She is still in high school, will continue learning how to play and act. She has room to grow on both. I know everyone here at MW was a perfect human being as a teenager and spare me the nonsense that because she has money that means she isnt a teenager. Thats just being stupid. Pressel acts like an idiot all the time and she will grow too. |
That's a hilarious line about Frankenstein, Aly, but, woefully inaccurate. If Man Boobs were to jettison his wife and marry Wie I suspect you'd felt you done died and gone to heaven, as you seem to have blind spots about both of them. I have no doubt that pros withdraw every week; the question is, how many of them are in her special niche where if they shoot an 88 they get the boot for a year? Now, add on, how many of THOSE players mysteriously injure their wrist when they're pretty close to the one year ban? Now, add on, how many of those players, in that special niche, who had a mysterious injury, were then seen practicing not long after wards? For you to pretend this was not at all a special situation, and therefore didn't deserve much coverage nor criticism, is disingenuous to say the least.
As for the 88-and-out rule, you sound like people I know who defend Nadal and Sharapova, both of whom have received illegal coaching during their tennis matches, by saying that the rule against coaching is "stupid." It may be, and it may NOT be, but that doesn't change the fact that you don't get to ignore, break, or get around rules
just because you don't like them. Golfers are forever babbling about how their game is one of honor, integrity, and following the rules-where's the honor in a transparent injury done to get around a rule, then insulting people's intelligence by insisting nothing was wrong with being seen practicing a short time later? Does Sorenstam have a history of recklessly running her mouth and ripping players who don't deserve it?
On a somewhat different subject, am I to understand that you believe that Wie is more promising than another player (who I'm guessing is the same age or even younger) who has more majors than Wie has wins of any kind? And, are you still denying that Wie has gotten worse in the last year or so?
