more sexism in sports

This female golfing pro rules. She was banned from playing in a tournament at a public Cape Cod course because she's a woman... but is taking matters into her own hands.

She wants to play at a more competitive level with men and compares her denial from the tournament to the separate but NOT equal rights African Americans had during the Jim Crow days.

She says, "Excluding women is as illegal as having whites-only drinking fountains."
and...
"If someone says you can't play because you're black, that's a problem, but if you throw in the word 'woman,' it really seems to be still acceptable to exclude you, and it shouldn't be like that."

Thoughts?
