English golfer Paul Casey blow me.

[fletcher]

Another loud mouth if he hates Americans so much and we are so stupid, then why is he married to a American, why does he have a American coach and why does he live in America. Don't need Brits to come in and say the us media blew this story up because I watched a interview on the BBC network on satellite and on my dtv half both so get channels from other countries not just bbca which is what dtv has, i can grab stations from around the world with the one satellite hooked up to the one tv, yes you can still by those type of dishes and they are not as big as the old ones. I get stuff from china, japan, GB, germany. The person who built our home theater room and does most of the sports books out here put it in almost a year ago it is great.

I love the way people call our people stupid, say they hate the US for the most part but yet they live here, go figure guess it is because maybe the money, better life style he if you hate so much about the country and it's people go back to your rain drenched country Pauile.

I really could give a fuk what people think of me our the US except my family and friends but these people from other countries who reap what the US has by living here and making good money here shut up and just move back to where you crawled out from if you hate the people and the country. Can't make enough money over there? not enough smart and good looking women over there? can't find a nice house over there? can't find a golf coach who is any good over there? I think you should just move back over there. Have all these people who hate the US but have tons of them coming for a visit each month and many try to stay here for good.

They one thing that we are stupid about is who we let come into this country. Unreal this is the winner of the ass hole of the week award.

Now I know not all people from other countries think this way but many do so :sadwave: don't let the door hit you in the ass, maybe he can find a coach who use to be in the IRA, yeah like his country and relatives did not try and fuk up Catholics and others from the country of Ireland in the past. he even talked about the war unreal.

Same as the French whats up with the Ivory coast ok to have and hold colonies but if the US trys to help people gain freedom it is called a invasion or for the countries oil. Maybe the French should use the Ivory soap right Jacques :moon: :thefinger :fingerc:

Face it every place has it's own dip shits but if you don't like it and your in their country leave, it is their county not yours, same goes for here the US is our country so if you don't like it leave, and here is another clue 99.9% of the people who are American citizens could care less what other countries think about us. Least we have elections, hate those jerks in office not the people of the country, not like we are the ones who make policy nor do we really care much about stuff like that. We care about our families and friends not your oil or your lack of hygiene's or even what is going on in your country. We have our own stuff to handle and take care of in our families. We or most don't lose sleep over your countries or our government.

"maybe he can find a coach who use to be in the IRA, yeah like his country and relatives did not try and fuk up Catholics and others from the country of Ireland in the past. he even talked about the war unreal"
Hew also went to Arizona St??
Fletcher, may I ask what he said about it?
Thanks
Irish

 

[fletcher]

I saw him on satellite last night on some talk show from England or GB area. Then they talked about him on fox sports radio clip or segment was early my time about 5 am or so today.

The war comment Irish was about Iraq, He said that US had no business trying to run the world and some other things but hey fine free speech but if we are so stupid and he does not like the US, he used the word hate was not misquoted I heard it and then on the fox show he said it twice hate.

So like I said if he HATES THE US SO MUCH MOVE BACK TO GB. That is not to hard why would you stay somewhere that you dislike and around people who are stupid?

Will have to watch next match he is in I am sure it will be not as quite as golf etiquette should be :scared

 

[Irish]

gotcha, thanks

 

[Agent 0659]

:scared :rant2: :thinking: Fuk him, I agree Fletch wait until next time this A-hole plays here. :142slap:

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Heres some comments in text----
CASEY COMMENTS CAUSE A STIR

Paul Casey found himself under fire from Ryder Cup team-mate Paul McGinley on Wednesday - for using the word "hate" about Americans.

On the eve of the World Cup in Spain, where Casey partners Luke Donald for England and McGinley links up again with Padraig Harrington for Ireland, Casey's comments following the Ryder Cup have inevitably hit the headlines.

"We properly hate them - we wanted to beat them as badly as possible," said the 27-year-old, who also admits he was surprised by the appointment of Tom Lehman as captain for the 2006 match in Ireland following the controversy he was involved in five years ago.

Lehman was among those who over-reacted when Justin Leonard sank a long putt and before Jose Maria Olazabal had a chance to keep the match alive.

Casey was at pains prior to practising in Seville to insist that, with an American girlfriend, coach and home, he does not tar everybody in the United States with the same brush.

But he does not deny saying the words during an hour-long interview with a Sunday newspaper journalist and he sticks by his opinion that Americans ought to travel the world more and not be so insular.

While Donald backed him on that McGinley commented: "Hate is a bad word to use - a terrible thing in sport. I don't want to stir up any animosity.

"And I'm not surprised by Lehman being made captain. I have no idea what went on at Brookline, but I've always found him to be a perfect gentleman."

Harrington, who was a member of the 1999 team, added: "They got over-excited, but that's great and you've got to imagine the pressure they were under. Every time I've dealt with Tom Lehman he's been excellent - I think he's a good choice and will do a good job."

None of the American Ryder Cup team is competing this week - Scott Verplank and Bob Tway represent them instead - but they are not alone in opting out of an event offering a first prize of US$1.4million.

At eighth in the world, Harrington is the leading player present. Vijay Singh's absence means Fiji are not even among the 24 nations, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen have stayed away again and Mike Weir's decision sees Canada field Stuart Anderson and Darren Griff, respectively ranked 737th and 828th.

Scotland have Scott Drummond and Alastair Forsyth - in for Colin Montgomerie, who has chosen to play in an over-40s event in America - and Wales call on Phillip Price and Bradley Dredge.

Ireland are not as strong as they could be since Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell are both ranked above McGinley, but seven years on from winning in South Carolina they are among the favourites again.

Sergio Garcia and Miguel Angel Jimenez are, on paper, the strongest pair.




Casey probably knows he went further in his comments than was wise in view of the fact that he has a US Tour card for next year.

But he comments: "I stand by my words. I certainly don't hate Americans, but they do have a tendency to sort of wind people up. When they are chanting 'USA' and there's lots of them it just makes you want to beat them even more.

"That's the point I was trying to get across. They probably failed to realise it really sort of riles us and the rest of the world.

"If Lehman wins the Ryder Cup back it will be the best appointment they've ever made. However, I don't think his appointment will be universally accepted on this side of the Atlantic.

"I don't think people really want to see him as captain. We've got a very, very good rivalry since '99 and I think a lot of people are just afraid that it might bring up a Brookline-type situation at the K Club.

"Tom's name will be one that is mentioned maybe not in the spirit of the Ryder Cup. From talking to those players who were at Brookline they thought the spirit wasn't right and I wouldn't like to be at a Ryder Cup where that's the case. That's the problem."

Casey, upset by a tabloid headline screaming "Americans are stupid - I hate them", has already had his Arizona-based coach Peter Kostis on the phone saying "nice piece".

He heads back to the States next week for a winter break and is expecting more reaction. He is also aware it could make the Americans even keener to hit back from their record drubbing.

"I think maybe it will spur the players on a little bit more to bond as a team. If it does then that's dangerous, but it's two years away. They might have forgotten what I've said by then."

Then he joked: "Actually I don't hate Americans at all. It's Luke."

To which the Chicago-based Donald, sitting next to him, responded: "They won't let me back in the country."

Inevitably, that led to him being put on the spot. And Donald, another with an American girlfriend, commented: "I think people who are not Americans can get upset with Americans quite easily.

"They do seem to be very insular and make rash comments that are really quite upsetting sometimes."

Used as an example was American tour player Ryan Palmer, who said days after the Ryder Cup result that the Nationwide Tour - the second division in America - was the second strongest tour in the world.

"Those kind of comments force people like Paul to say what he says, I would have thought," added Donald.

"I guess it's a reaction to the American way of thinking that they have the best country in the world and don't really need to leave their country. They have everything.

"I think it's a small percentage of Americans have passports. Most haven't left the country. Because of that they are in some ways a little bit naive. I've heard comments where they just think America is the be-all and end-all.

"I think a lot of Americans could gain a lot by exploring the world a little bit more."

Casey agrees. "There are a handful of Americans who do come and play the European tour. It would be wonderful if more of them did - I think they are missing out on a fabulous tour."

On the Verplank-Tway pairing Donald said: "I'm sure they will do very well, but it's definitely not their best team on paper and I think it just shows when an event outside of America there's a lot of excuses from the good players that they don't want to play."

 

[yyz]

I have no desire to "see other parts of the world".

I see enough of it on the tube.

I don't visit the poor parts of the city I live in, either. I guess that makes me a little less worldy then I should be, but I will manage.

The English can say what they will, and I am pretty sure most of the citizens in the US realize that the rest of the world "hates" us. Maybe we do have an air of pomposity about us, as a whole. That being said, I think people who deem us snobish or insular, have their own issues. Why do I need to venture outside the US? What for? To gain some knowledge of other cultures, or ways of life? Personally, I don't give two fuks. How's that for putting on airs?

Maybe other people have passports to escape the shitty bounds that hold them in, while "we" cling to the fact that we needn't go anywhere else to find comfort, work, or freedom.

 

[IntenseOperator]

Same as the French whats up with the Ivory coast ok to have and hold colonies but if the US trys to help people gain freedom it is called a invasion or for the countries oil. Maybe the French should use the Ivory soap right Jacques :moon: :thefinger :fingerc:

Beauty :clap:

 

[bombercoops]

I guess as an aussie and a golfer I feel compelled to make a few comments about the situation. You guys are right, he went to school over here and plays a good number of tourny's in the states every year, and so to make such comments is totally disrespectful IMO. If he feels that way he should either stay in Britain or keep his mouth shut, and well away from the media!

 

[fletcher]

Bc agree if i did not see the one interview on the sat late last night would of thought the story i saw in paper later today was not so bad but also heard a sound bite on radio us around 5am today when he said it again, media means trouble, and he is Young but a pro so he should of just not said a word, but the interview i saw late night was much more harsh then the radio bit and what dtb posted, that was just the tip of what I watched on tv from another country. But media will try anything to kill you and the tv from the other country was pushing him for feelings i must say almost like to set him up. and he let it rip, now all you see in print is damage control i saw the whole thing and lots were left out lucky for him.

 

[fletcher]

Also it said he was upset in one paper I read about saying that he called the people in the us stupid and then tried to back out of it and blame them, well I saw it on tv and he did say it with other things that should of just been kept to himself. but that is freedom of speech.

 

[fletcher]

And I really don't care who moves here as long as they don't disrespect the country, I have been to other countries and I would not and did not disrespect the people there or their country. Hell it is their country and I was happy to be able to visit the places I was at as a welcomed guest of the countries .

 

[bombercoops]

Exactly! As a guest, respect the people and country you are visiting. This little event is going to make things interesting for him every time he plays over here from now on, that's for sure!

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Ouch Seems remarks hit him in his pocketbook---not that he'll miss it, as he is VERY talented player.Frankly I am sad that remarks he said could not be taken back as I know he wishes they could.

Casey loses sponsor after anti-American jibe
England Ryder Cup star Paul Casey has lost his sports contract with a U.S. company that helped sponsor him days after making anti-American comments in a newspaper interview.

Casey was quoted as saying that at times he hated Americans and thought they could be stupid even though he went to college in the United States and has a US girlfriend and coach.

He later said that his "hate" jibe had been an off-the-cuff remark that subsequently had been taken out of context.

But it provoked a storm of protest when it became public in the United States and, playing here this week for his country in the World Cup, he found his e-mail jammed with an angry backlash.

Now, his sponsor Acushnet, makers of Titleist clubs and balls, have announced that they will not renew his contract with him for next year.

In a statement Wally Uihlein, chairman and chief executive officer of Acushnet, said: "First and foremost, we want people to understand that Mr Casey's comments do not reflect the views of the Acushnet Company and were not made in his capacity as a endorser of our products.

"In addition, Mr Casey's contract expires on December 31 and both parties have mutually agreed that it will not be renewed or extended."

Casey has expressed regret at what he said, claiming that it was weighing heavily on his mind and preventing him from sleeping properly.

But his comments got a chilly reaction in the American camp here represented by Scott Verplank and Bob Tway.

Verplank said that the remarks would not help Casey when he plays on the US Tour next year.

"If he's really that uncomfortable or that annoyed or anything I don't think anybody would miss him if he went back to England.

There was an unusual protest against Casey too from the American wife of South African player Rory Sabbatini.

She confronted Casey on Friday with a T-shirt emblazoned with the words "Stoopid Amerikan" and commented: "Call this my political statement. I saw what he said about us and didn't like it, so I printed this last night.

"He saw me and smiled, but then he read what my T-shirt had on it and quit smiling."

Casey's comments came at a time of renewed trans-Atlantic strains in the world of golf with a European perception of US Tour arrogance and the decision of the top US players not to travel to Spain for the World Cup.
