Bamberger: We Need Elk's Tweets!
/Funny, I was just talking to someone today about how golf continues to experience black eye moments in social media, but Michael Bamberger opines that Steve Elkington's homophobic Tweet this week provides a public service of sorts.
He writes:
That first handbag tweet, it’s crude. It’s stupid. It’s not funny. But it’s useful, because it reminds us again of what’s out there. And because it reminds us again that one of our most fundamental rights is to, on occasion, make an ass of ourselves by abusing our rights to free speech. I’m going to keep reading Steve Elk. He’s better than this sorry mini episode.
He is. But so far, he hasn't shown it.
