Response-“Give Casey Martin a Lift”
Alison wrote about the article “Giving Casey Martin a Lift” in her journal entry and I found that her quote spoke very true in how I feel about how the PGA has treated Casey Martin. The quote was “Shame on every greedy Tour pro who won’t budge an inch of tradition to fit in a spoonful of compassion.” She believes that the executives of the PGA would act differently if one of their friends were injured like Mr. Martin, it is my belief also that they would give them the necessary items to let them continue playing golf. The sport seems very rigid on their tradition in the professional level.
By the way, I thought Meg G. made a good point in one of her journal entries (not posted). She described the difficulty a deaf woman had in getting help at the grocery store (as Meg recently observed). After quoting Reilly’s “spoonful of compassion” line, she added, “I think that can be broadened for others, those who may have a handicap and cannot play on the rest of our fields.”

Sometimes you just have to meet standards.
I could have a learning disability that would make it hard for me to be a college professor, but I still desire greatly to teach at the college level, so should the college make special arrangements for me, the answer is no. Sometimes if you have a disability you just have to accept that you can’t do some things.Posted by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) on 03/24 at 07:26 PM
