Are you kidding me? Tell me this guy was on his last straw and this was the scapegoat.

The bigger question in my mind is why are grown men....especially those in positions of responsibility....using twitter?

If you have trouble keeping your mouth shut why multiply the worst case scenario by 100?

It's like putting a match in your pocket before you walk into a garage full of gasoline. Remove it from the equation and simply don't do it.

Dumb comment but even worse overreaction. Not only fired, but erased from the books.

Was watching Golf Channel and they act like what he said was the worst thing that has ever happened in golf. Just a bunch of sanctimonious commentary.

What he said was stupid but it ain't that big of a deal.

That comment is not sexist. Simply a figure of speech that is used all the time. Ridiculous overreaction. He'd clearly pissed some people off in other ways in the past and they used this farce to pounce.

Agreed with last 2.

I don't really care what he said, it certainly didn't offend me but if you are that stupid and unaware of how your actions are going to be viewed on a public social media platform you deserve to be fired for lack of critical thinking skills.

Dumb tweet, dumber reaction to it.

What he said was not as much of a problem as the capacity in which he said it and the forum on which he said it. If the president of the PGA is going to directly criticize a professional golfer and use slang derogatory terms, he probably shouldn't make them public to every person on planet earth.

With that being said, I can't believe how badly the PGA overreacted. Political correctness nazis ruin people's lives on a daily basis -- this is just a mainstream example. (Now they're going to come hunt me down because I used the word Nazi out of context).
