[Vision2020] The Masters..

[thansen@moscow.com]

The golf club in Augusta will not allow any female members.  This became public 
knowledge within the past year.  As with Logos School, that is their 
prerogative.  Once a year (as you know) the golf club hosts the Masters 
Tournament.  I don't believe that the "commercial-free" attribute of this 
year's tournament was meant as a privilege being extended to the viewing 
public.  I simply do not believe that they could find a sponsor that would be 
willing to be subject to the sexist image of the golf club.  For instance, if 
Pepsi decided to sponsor the tournament, could you image the boycots of grocery 
stores by such organizations as NOW?
