Can someone please explain this to me??????

I just saw the most amazing story on MSNBC where Jan Stephenson says "Asians are killing LPGA".

She says Asians have taken over the tour, are not emotional enough and "also believes the Tour should actively sell sex (appeal). “We have to promote sex appeal. It’s a fact of life,” Stephenson told Golf Magazine. “The people who watch are predominantly male, and they won’t keep watching if the girls aren’t beautiful."

So to make the LPGA more appealing, the players should be emotional and dress like Britney Spears instead of showing how skillful they are on the course so guys will watch.

I don't know. From my few times at the driving range, I thought golf was a game of skill, especially being able to concentrate on making a good shot after making a very bad one (golf is 90% mental while the remaining 10% is mental).

So where are the feminists who say women should be appreciated for their minds and skills and not their body?

Where is the Civil Rights lobby denouncing Stephenson because women who are not Caucasian are the best in the sport?

And why did MSNBC decide to give Stephenson this avenue and not denounce her?

Can someone please explain this to me????
