Bad Bad Golf
The world of sports has always been a male dominant field. You're defined as a real man if you watch sports, the bloodier the better. For the most part the misogyny is kept to locker room banter where it's okay to discuss women's body parts and call them cunts. We all know it and somehow we have ignored it. Lately the hate for women by "athletes," is no longer hiding behind closed doors. Male athletes want you to know how they feel. This ad for Good Good Golf is so stunningly hateful I have no doubt they knew exactly what they were doing. I cannot even find the right words to describe how it makes me feel. Rage, anger, grief- all of that and more. I'm not sure who approved of this ad as one of the founders, Garrett Clark, of Good Good Golf, stands around as a woman is seen near his golf clubs. As she starts to touch one, Clark runs towards her and knocks her flat, then tells her to never touch his Callaway club.
Who approved this!? Do you think they all sat in a meeting and laughed and laughed as they watched the ad over and over? It's just so mind boggling.
And then we have this guy who shows up at a women's basketball game just to be a complete asshole. By the way numnuts, there are no transgenders in the WNBA, and even if their were, what the fuck gives you the right to be so absolutely ignorant and think in any way this was a good idea?
I don't want to analyze these sad sacks. That's for a shrink to work on. I just want you to understand that you are not a man in any way other than a swinging dick in your pants. You have no clue what it is to be considered a man. You're a child in a man form and you're ugly.
No apology will be accepted because you don't mean it. Keep it in the locker room or better yet, learn what it is to be a real man.
