Supposed Good Intentions Erased By Poor Execution II

Hello. My apologies for not posting Thursday.
Well, the LPGA "must speak English" policy is still in the news. What a surprise.
The lawyers are lining up. Shocking!
Lorena Ochoa called the policy "drastic". Somewhat of an understatement.
I'll be shocked if anyone is ever suspended for this rule violation.
Again, I have no idea why the LPGA had to go public with this rule. Why didn't they just hire English teachers for the players, make a general statement that they're trying to help players adjust to living in the US, and leave it at that? They would've probably been praised for their efforts, instead of lambasted.
Then again, would I or anyone else be talking about the LPGA as much if they didn't do what they did?
It reminds me of the Oliver Jewellers commercials here in the Greater Toronto Area. They are so bad quality wise they leave a lasting impression, which is what a company wants from advertising.
Maybe that's the LPGA's goal. If so, well done.

Regards,
Steve
