To close one chapter of my FN life...

     You come to a fork in the road, and decide which way to go. Do you continue to bang your head against a wall, or simply give up the ghost??

     I've chosen the latter.

     Therefore, I've decided to discontinue the "True Media Stories" series here in FN Magazine. The last couple of them haven't met with the response I'd like (read: fewer comments), but that's not why I'm ending them.

Chase's Rants Vol.3 Ft: The LPGA

In case you havent heard the news the LPGA, or Ladies Professional Golf Association has announced that it will suspend memberships if foreign golfers refuse to learn English.

No here comes the debate:

Is this racism, or just a policy decision used by many major corporations?

Well in this context I think this is racism.

As you may have noticed in most American sports there is a large foreign contingent that cannot speak much English, most teams comply to their needs and find an interpreter.

Chase's Rants Vol.2: Ft Jericho Scott

In case you haven't been around SI.com lately I would like to share a article with you that made me want to puke.

Here is the link:

Basically the gist of the story is the young child pictured above was told he is too good to pitch in his youth league.

Yes young Jericho Scott is so good that his youth league decided he could not pitch anymore because he could "hurt" someone.
