Augusta will allow women very soon now

Augusta does have the right for an all-males club, but they are alrady losing the PR battle and this will be the end of it, it's over if this happens:

KKK Planning protest in support of Augusta

Doesn't the Agusta group have tons of $$$? Also, in a sign of protest, didn't they paid for (in cash) the TV time (rather then have comercials) a year or so ago?

If this is a private club, then there's nothing that really can be done, no matter how many people stomp their feet in protest.

But the KKK is protesting in favor of Augusta. That's the kiss of death. Thier public perception will now drop like a La-La reciever after a Buckles hit. I don't see how any sponsors will stick with Augusta before too long. They will have to decide if the sponsors or thier traditions mean more to them.

Having the Klan come to your defense is the worst thing possible.

I just looks like the clan is broadening their horizons. Anymore, it's so uncool to be racist.

Regardless of the outcome, the whole thing is incredibly...funny.
