There is a very interesting and disturbing post over at Public Reason, dealing with a new English language requirement for LPGA players.
The demand that players speak English is wrong for a variety of reasons, I think, but it also uncovers something interesting for philosophers of sport. How important is it that a sport be entertaining? And why should the external goods of sponsorship and money determine who can participate in elite sport, regardless of their level of talent?
