I am tired of the "story", but I don't mind watching her play. I wish she would earn her way on by winning ladies events or qualifying through Q-school, but oh well. If I were her, I would be doing the same thing and getting paid.
I believe this will alliviate a lot of this BS in future Jack--I expect media to turn on her like pack of dogs to avoid further embarrassment of inept judgement.
Apparently our resident racist, ERRRR, BeanTownJim is as well Jack:

Yes it is getting ole.......But I also don't mind watching her play,In her interviews she comes off as just a sweet kid,Contact sports I can see,But golf:shrug:Sorry boss ,I say let the kid play! 
I'm tired of it too, but this will not stop. The fact is the media has made her the 6th biggest name in golf outside the big 5.
not a golf fan jack but i dont mind taking a peek at her. That little mouth of hers kinda is a big flaw in my book. The ass is okay and the legs are nice. Tits look nice but that tiny mouth im not sure even my tiny guy can get in there. opps were we rating her?
I'd go as far as to say she is the third-biggest name in golf behind Tiger and Phil. I hate the "sport" of golf and very seldom watch it outside of Day 4 of the majors, and even then my interst wanes if Phil or Tiger aren't involved. However, I do pay attention at least a little when she's going against the guys, even though she seems to be repeatedly getting her ass kicked. She simply has drawing power, and that's all the sponsors care about when they give exemptions.
Of all the bad things people can say about her -- at least so far -- no one can say that sponsors haven't gotten a significant boost by throwing her in with the men, regardless of how poorly she actually plays. That may change soon if she continually gets smoked, but to this point she is a boon to them.

:iagree:
I would agree to let anyone play that qualifies--but to continue giving someone exemptions for circus atmosphere when others that have went route of qualifying are trying to keep their card and lose a spot in field to her--I don't agree with.

This is how I used to feel. Now I bring into consideration who is even making the entire tour possible.... the sponsors. If they feel Michelle Wie makes it possible for their sponsorship to be successful, thus creating an arena for the keep sponsoring, then I am all for her playing whenever she gets the call.
You have to remember, she is not eliminating "people" from the tournament. There is one man that she is keeping from playing. And it's not every tournament.
So I'm all for her playing.
My preference is that she would qualify, but in the end I don't think it matters.
How does her missing evry cut do golf any good??
It is making a side show of the sport..
I know I am sick of seeing her face ...
I have always said women cant play with men in any sport (Except the WNBA .. those nags are great.. Its soooo exciting too.. Bill Lamwinecooler you should be embarrassed)
This just proves my point for me...

I've defended her every week to the guys I play with but even I am getting sick of it.
One thing to those that say, go play with the girls already (cough Jack cough)- SHE CANT. She cant become an LPGA member until after her 18th birthday which is in just over a year. So she is limited to 7 events a year with the women through exemptions. What should she do as a professional athlete, sit at home and do nothing the rest of the time? If that was my kid sure I would want her dominating the women, but in the meantime, I would want her getting as many starts as she can under her belt, whether or not shes getting humilated out there. This is a big piece of the puzzle people forget. I actually think she would rather be playing with the women as 1 - shes had terrific success at it and 2 - its less pressure. But shes not able to so shes taking her starts where she can.

I understand that she needs to get some tournaments under her belt, but at the same time getting her ass kicked every week is not doing her any good. And who's kidding who? These golf courses are too long for her.
I guess you've got to make hay when the sun shines, but this turning professional was a major mistake in my estimation.

Of course they are too long for her. But playing on the womens tour, she plays 6400 courses where she can hit 3 wood, wedge into most Par 4s. Yes I believe that eventually she will dominate the womens game because of her length. But even if she comes in last every week, she is at least learning what its like to play a 640 yard par 5 and gets more work on her long iron game. The only time she plays long irons on the LPGA is when shes playing it safe off the tee.
Still sick of hearing about it though.
