One of golf’s four “major” tournaments every year is called “The Masters.” The field of golfers is the smallest of all the majors — only the best allowed — and the winner can be deemed “The Master” (plus, he gets a cool green jacket that every pro golfer covets).But one writer at Deadspin has decided that the tournament’s name is racist and should be changed.Rob Parker wrote a piece headlined “We’ve Lived with ‘The Masters’ Name Long Enough.”

Why don't people just tell these "offended" people "NO"?

Maybe we should also eliminate Master's Degrees. Well maybe some higher learning institutions.

Ahhhhh, make it stop! This is pathetic. Master simply means you have a great understanding and skill in a certain area. Golf, carpentry, cooking, art, singing, etc. You can put anything in there that you want. Obviosuly this asshat is a master at being STUPID. My Lord it must suck to be you. Knowing you are wasting precious time on trying to find racism in EVERTHING, even where none exists.

Larry Bird vs Magic Johnson. Who is the master and who is the slave. Both mastered the sport of basketball in their time. As a famous actor once said "Stupid is as stupid does." I judge people by their character, not the color of their skin. When one places people in a class by their skin color, their income, their education or any other aspect of their lives, their individuality is gone.

There's a mob surrounding my house chanting something about tearing down my MBA plaque. “Hey hey, ho ho, that Master’s degree has got to go!!” Now they’re lighting torches... gotta run.

It really should. To something like the Subservients. Or maybe the Mastors. Or the Misters. Or the Driphoses. Or the Swingers. Oh no, too much noose inuendo in that. the BallHitterInners. Or maybe just the Really Good Golfers, although golfer has a lot of racism. Maybe the Funny Clothes People. Or the Lotsa Water UserUppers. Or the Snooze Fest. The Yellow Jackets ( could require a wardrobe change; not sure if yellow is racist in this context, definitely is in other contexts). Maybe like the corporate logos used to be before they got cute, something that sounds strong but doesn’t mean anything like Xjor or Belar. Or Igoneda. Twizzah. Or the the PC Twits. Of course with nobody absolutely sure what the “c” stands for that could be trouble.
Ah heck just let blm decide- and I don’t mean the bureau of land management.

I always understood that "The Masters" was a play on "The Old Masters" of Dutch painting. They were called that because they created masterpieces of art. This seems to be just more woke nonsense and master baiting.

You'd think that this madness would cease after the Bubba fiasco, but no, here we go a-freakin-gain. I just discovered two conservative twins, the Hodgetwins, on Citizen Free Press. They called Bubba Noosegate a hoax before it was proved to be, and they have a post Noosgegate post that's hilarious. They're two comedian country boys from Virginia. One of them (they are identical twins with a strong southern accent) said you couldn't hang a black hamster with that noose. Hilarious!

Is there no end to this idiocy? When are white people going to get enough of this bs and just stop. They’re like a bunch of marionettes jerking every which way to pacify a bunch of criminal thugs who are going to complain no matter what. They are the MINORITY.

FWIW Rob Parker is black. If you say that isn't a factor here, I say it is.
Will there be a cancel culture for navel gazing?

The democrat party must change their name. They were the party of:
1. Slavery
2. Gag Rule in 1830s Congress
3. Jim Crow
4. Segregation
5. etc, etc, etc...

Rob Parker is definitely not a master of journalism. In fact he is not even a master of thought. He is a master of nothing. He would make Professor Irwin Korey proud.

Then you need to get rid of the word Master.
Masters golf Tournament
Master Bedroom
Master Bathroom
Master Charge
And there's a slew more.

What was that comment by Roy McAvoy in that memorable golf movie, “Tin Cup”?
“Gutless Wonder.”
Most appropriate here.

There's more illiterates in this country than anyone thought was possible. But then, it's the job of K-12 teachers to churn them out and they've succeeded magnificently.

Well, Rob Parker, now that you mention it, the word "rob" reminds me of the racist theft of black lives by the (Democrat) slave masters of the old south, and "parker" has the sound "cur" in it which surely refers to way racists called their black slaves worthless dogs and mongrels.

These clowns will continue this racial nonsense as long as they are tolerated. You can find racism in a ball point pen if you look hard enough. If they would put that level of energy into getting an education and finding a job their problem would end.

I suppose "The Comrades" would be preferable?
We better come up with an alternate word for Master, or we won't know what to call the Party masters when they start forcing us to serve their programs.
Are we really going to act as if the only (or even principal) meaning of "master" refers to slavery? Then let's submit to the Party a proposal to launch a People's Language Redaction Committee, to remove every word that could have ANYTHING to do with slavery. After all, how much easier will it be to enslave a people when they don't have the language to describe their oppression?

re #32. The Masters is not run by the PGA. The call is up to the club itself, Agusta National. They would be the ones to contact.
When I first saw some of the silly "racist" accusations, I knew immediately some fool would bring this up. I think that some of these black activists are subconsciously ashamed of their race and ethnic history. It's why they are actually trying to erase history and their time of being slaves. It's not a very uplifting story for them.

I actually DID laugh out loud when I read this headline. Oh my. Some people feel so impotent, so useless, that they have to come up with something like this to attract attention to themselves. Trouble is, this moron is gaining negative attention.
