Hank Haney suspended from Sirius XM radio show

Haney gets SiriusXM ban for LPGA comment

 

This is what’s going to end his broadcast career.

 

In his defense, Robert E. Lee has lots of descendants.

 

Hank Haney’s job is to be able to name six women’s golfers, for starters. And then, of course, he got racist.

 

Never understood why a golf person would brag about their ignorance about golf. It's not like the PGA Tour is world renowned. Seriously, walk down the street and you'd have a hard time finding people who could name five players from the PGA Tour. And maybe three or four players could walk into a bar in non-golfing clothes and be recognized.

 

Bolded for posterity. Sorry, Dan, I love you but that's all I'm gonna say.

 

I suspect Hank can name plenty of players on the LPGA Tour, but he thought it would be funnier to try and combine some MAGA attitude and comedy. He's also been one of the laziest analysts though, so anything is possible.

 

Five? I think most people can name five. Ten? That doesn’t include Nicklaus and Palmer? I dunno.

 

Who are the five they'd name?

 

Active players? Your average person on the street gets maybe two -- Tiger and Phil.

 

Maybe (MAYBE) Dustin Johnson (Paulina factor) and Rickie Fowler?

Rory might be known. Even with four majors, Koepka isn’t one of them.

Regardless, Haney is an idiot.

 

I'm a pretty big sports guy. I know Gretzky's daughter is married to a golfer but I never would have gotten his name.
