Now don't get me wrong---there's nothing wrong with diversity and inclusion. But I believe it should be the result of hiring well qualified people who worked hard to earn their position, not a goal unto itself.

Seems like most sports are getting boring.

Like him or hate him, the dude can golf. When visiting his grandparents in the Villages he shot a 63 at Havana (Hemingway to Kilimanjaro) from the tips to tie the course record.

I started watching "The Captain" a documentary about Derek Jeter on ESPN+, I should've known when I saw Spike Lee was the executive producer it was going to be a disaster.
And sure enough it wasn't a documentary,it was an agenda about racism. Half of the episodes were about racism and they even brought up George Floyd's and started showing the riots. What does George Floyd have to do with baseball player Derek Jeter.
I couldn't finish watching it, I was really surprised that Derek let them use his great reputation for this crap.

I am glad he has stood up and taken on those who label him a cheater. and I wish someone, who is continually called a racist, by media members, and news outlets, and others, steps up and files suit on that ridiculous label.

I agree with you on the two. Chamblee and especially the Golf Channel.
