"as occasion requires"Michelle Wie announced her decision to become a professional yesterday. She's turning 16 in a few days. She's a pretty amazing player. But I'm not a golf fan (most of the time), nor a pedophile, this is about money.
She's got endorsement deals up the wazoo. Probably around $10 million a year from Nike and Sony. The first thing she does as a professional is pledge $500k to the Hurricane Relief fund. I was going to write a long long thing about how every executive lighting their cuban cigars every morning with a burning $100 bill should sack up and follow her lead. I thought about writing a diatribe about the bloated and ridiculous celebrity culture that should give some of their lifeblood back to their fans. But I'll just simply say she deserves more than a golf clap and those that sit amongst their ivory towers with megamillions of dollars deserve more than this.
