John C:
Really?
Obsessed loser?
How bout being defined as a realist because all of you -- yes, John that includes you, have been at the forefront in PROCLAIMING Wie was already the great one BEFORE she actually accomplished the victories you and so many others have preordained she would win.
I mean you must have amnesia with all the gushing that Wie is the female equivalent of Tiger and all the rest. Before we shoot people like myself with such personal invective -- look in the mirror and see the situation for what it is.
John, you, like other narrow-minded Wie groupies, always trumpet the USGA win -- which was five years ago but then have convenient memory loss when you have such poor etiquette situations such as the incident involving her pulling out of tournaments when she is endanger of shooting a high number. Or the injury excuse that can be manipulated into any sort of answer imaginable. Or the constant circus act with men's events that is going absolutely no where. If you want balance from me and others like me then demonstrate a bit more from your side.
I respect the talent Michelle has -- but she has been managed in a very poor way and frankly I am getting tired of her smug entitlement response because of the way so many groups -- including the USGA, LPGA and even the PGA Tour have enabled such behavior. Team Wie wanted to have the ultimate free-lance golf sideshow -- one where they could cherry pick off any event and come and go as they please.
That could only work if the scores and wins would be forthcoming -- they have not to date. Will they in the future? That's unknown to me and guess what to all the Wie groupies.
Michelle needs to dedicate herself to some sort of course of action that can be sustained. The men's sideshow is a carnival act that few, if any, are buying now. She is more the carnival act in that environment than a real competitor. Beat the women convincingly and thoroughly and the rest takes care of itself. With each passing month / year there are other more hungry and more focused younger women -- especially the Korean contingent, that are making even greater strides than she.
If Michelle is torn between being a college student and professional golfer then she needs to sort things out and determine for herself what works best for her. I wish her well. However, Team Wie has made it a point to showcase Michelle in a way that seeks to be everything all it once. It's not working. And, more than anything else, Michelle needs to really determine what she is really set in doing. No doubt Michelle has tremendous talent but past press clipping don't answer the most important question that lies at the heart of any sports situation ...
