Casey Martin Vs. The PGA
Last week, a federal judge ruled that golfer Casey Martin—who is afflicted with a circulatory disorder that makes it painful for him to walk—may use a motorized golf cart during PGA competition. The PGA contends that the use of a cart constitutes an unfair advantage, and plans to appeal the decision. What do you think?

"I am shocked that the sport of golf would be associated with this sort of exclusivity and discrimination."
Ed Shanahan,
Waiter
"I know how Martin feels. I was recently kicked off the PGA Tour just because my debilitating foot fetish made me masturbate on the other golfers' cleats in the locker room all the time."
Willis Gehry,
Tax Attorney
"First Tiger Woods, now a cripple? Christ, next thing you know, they'll be letting Jews into the country club."
Rick Struck,
Systems Analyst
"If he's crippled, what's he doing trying to achieve in the first place?"
Melanie Foti,
Librarian
"This is just the latest in a long line of injustices committed against America's professional golfers."
Gus Trotter,
Graduate Student
"Rodney Dangerfield endured the same sort of unfair treatment almost 20 years ago, solely because he wasn't an uptight, stuck-up snob. How little we have learned since then."
