Moments after Hank Haneys questionable comments about the LPGA and its players were posted online, some of the most well-known LPGA tour players were up in arms on social media. Below are some of the most notable responses to Haneys comments on his SiriusXM Radio show Wednesday morning:
As a Korean American female golfer, these comments that @HankHaney made disappoint and anger me on so many different levels. Racism and sexism are no laughing matter Hank....shame on you. I dont ever do this, but this must be called out. https://t.co/P18JByTosN— Michelle Wie (@themichellewie) May 29, 2019
Too many of these girls, Korean or not, have worked countless hours and sacrificed so much to play in the US Open this week. There are so many amazing players in the field. Lets celebrate them....Not mock them. @HankHaney https://t.co/YB25Bl9zoC— Michelle Wie (@themichellewie) May 29, 2019
Shame on you @HankHaney .... https://t.co/4IyrFiLcQ2— Michelle Wie (@themichellewie) May 29, 2019
Well said @themichellewie Wiesy! Shame on you @HankHaney and Steve Johnson. @PGATOUR if youre truly serious about supporting the @lpga and growing the game these two morons wont have a voice anymore! https://t.co/2hvZoBE4Tn— Karrie Webb (@Karrie_Webb) May 29, 2019
What the heck https://t.co/IWPLAUNYfw— Brittany Lincicome (@Brittany1golf) May 29, 2019
WOW @HankHaney. Way to go. Heaven forbid we celebrate the game of golf and all of the incredible golfers around the globe, male, female, those that fall between, or outside the spectrum. I work my ass off to be able to do what I love, and Im lucky to love what I do. https://t.co/07jLRDuTH1— Christina Kim (@TheChristinaKim) May 29, 2019
We are all human, first and foremost. We are all allowed our opinions and I try to empathize with people on their opinions, if they differ from mine, which is often the case. However, going for a cheap laugh at the expense of others? Disgraceful. Man the hell up.— Christina Kim (@TheChristinaKim) May 29, 2019
We dont want you and we dont need you. Were busy. We are busy molding and shaping the next generation of golfers, male and female. We are busy paving the way for strong, independent women. We are too busy for this small minded mentality.— Christina Kim (@TheChristinaKim) May 29, 2019
Thanks @HankHaney Shameful. https://t.co/kLAt62ofdo— Marina Alex (@Marina_Deee) May 29, 2019
Let me get this straight ... you can make racist and sexist comments and then boycott the organization and its players who have enlightened you to your ignorance. Way to go @SiriusXMPGATOUR https://t.co/CtRyLqtMxX— Marina Alex (@Marina_Deee) May 29, 2019
When people criticize or disparage others sometimes their comments tell you more about themselves than the people they are criticizing. https://t.co/JYZGqMcEMm— Amy Olson (@AmyOlsonGolf) May 29, 2019
