‘The Masters’ Golf Tournament Should Change ‘Racist’ Name, Writer Says

One of golf’s four “major” tournaments every year is called “The Masters.” The field of golfers is the smallest of all the majors — only the best allowed — and the winner can be deemed “The Master” (plus, he gets a cool green jacket that every pro golfer covets).

But one writer at Deadspin has decided that the tournament’s name is racist and should be changed.

Rob Parker wrote a piece headlined “We’ve Lived with ‘The Masters’ Name Long Enough.”

The name “The Masters” must go.

I should turn in my master's degree for renaming, not because it sounds racist, but because it was established by white men. It was 800 years ago, but what's that matter.
My friend is a master mechanic. Another friend is a master builder. Yet another is a professional tuna fisherman, who worked his way up the ladder to owning his own boats. To get there, one of the things he had to do was become a master baiter.


And that's what I think about that.

And to be honest, when I hear anyone say the "Masters", I think of the golf tournament in Augusta, GA. If that is the "wrong" answer, I would then say the painting by Rembrandt. But, then again, I'm not "woke"?

So no more Masters degrees either . we'll just call the best excellenters or most betters. And poof changing the name will end racism and heal the country. Thought that happened when AuntJemima and Uncle Ben were kicked to the curb.

Even though it's spelled differently, does that also include the word masturbation? Because I don't know what exactly my throes of pleasure have to do with racism/slavery/grievance-mongering.
