Augusta National panders to Cancel Culture
By Liam Brooks
The manufactured hysteria over Georgia's totally reasonable voting law has, as usual, prompted numerous major corporations to bow to the fascists at Cancel Culture. Genuflecting at the latest Altar of Woke are Major League Baseball, United Airlines, American Airlines and Coca-Cola, just to name a few. Also on the mob's hit list in the Peach State is Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters, considered by many to be the crown jewel of golf's four major championships. Legendary golfer Bobby Jones, who owned the property and codesigned the original course layout, founded the Masters in 1934. Augusta National and the Masters are synonymous. The tournament has never been played anywhere else.
But history and tradition didn't stop the lunatics from Cancel Culture! After all, they successfully harassed Major League Baseball into pulling the all-star game from Atlanta, so why not try to shame those evil white men at Augusta into moving the Masters out of Georgia? They knew it wouldn't work, but the publicity would be priceless. It would nakedly expose more of the systemic racism that permeates every element of white culture, exemplified by the filthy rich capitalists who manage Augusta National Golf Club.
To no one's surprise, the Masters is being played this week at its traditional home. But the brain-trust at Augusta had to do something to show that they weren't total Jim Crow racists. (A few years back they did make Condoleezza Rice their first female member--and she is, after all, a "person of color"--but being a "conservative" Republican, albeit an establishment RINO, the woke mob certainly consider her an "Uncle Tom.") What to do? Well, since pandering has become a major element in our society (see TV commercials with black actors), Augusta decided to toss a relatively minor wedge shot to Cancel Culture: Make a retired black golfer an "honorary starter."
