In case you haven't heard, the LPGA is cracking down on those players not "effectively" speaking english. Can you imagine what would happen if MLB had adopted this? That's right. There would be no trace of "beisbol has been berry, berry good to me." It would have been wrongly and sadly eradicated several decades ago. Praise be to Bud Selig.
from ESPN:
Cabrera understands the importance of speaking English, and he realizes it only hurts him. He said he has a good relationship with Woods, but because of the language barrier, it always will be limited.
What troubles the big Argentine is why language should affect performance inside the ropes.
"I remember what [Roberto] de Vicenzo once said to me," Cabrera said. "If you shoot under 70, everybody will understand you. If you don't, they won't want to talk to you, anyway."
A few months ago, Choi had finished a brief interview when a reporter tried to say, "Thank you" in Korean, but told him he forgot the word. Choi laughed and playfully shared this thought with his agent.
"I taught him one word seven years ago and he still doesn't remember," he said. "And he expects me to learn his entire language?"
