The MLB equivalent would be for a media outlet to only show highlights of American players, even if the game winning hit was delivered by Manny Ramirez or Ichiro.<BR/><BR/>This Hound Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551723761253381230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31262592.post-28476767154669545902007-06-12T05:38:00.000-04:002007-06-12T05:38:00.000-04:00Plus did you notice how great Na On Min's story is...Plus did you notice how great Na On Min's story is--her dad sells his construction business to give her a chance on the LPGA and travels with her from tournament to tournament. What a great father-daughter bonding story and "American Dream"-type story. All you have to do to find out about it is read the interviews at LPGA.com.

If they keep sending the message that only white Americans matter (never mind that Wie and Prammanasudh and Hurst are American), it's a huge step back from the days when Nancy Lopez was the face of women's golf.The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31262592.post-69569079449498352352007-06-11T17:37:00.000-04:002007-06-11T17:37:00.000-04:00The Golf Channel may tend to concentrate their cov...The Golf Channel may tend to concentrate their coverage on North Americans ( or at least Caucasians), but these Asian players are a force to be reckoned with, just as the Latino players have changed the face of Major League Baseball.
