You rarely find comedy in sports articles, which I think is a bit of a shame. So when you do, it's all the more thrilling. I offer this to you as an example. The article is about Michelle Wie, the 15-year-old golf phenom. She turned pro today, and celebrated with a press conference announcing that she'll donate $500,000 of what's already an estimated $10 million yearly endorsement income to a hurricain relief fund.

I know what you're thinking, "So that's what a horsey Asian woman looks like! I didn't think it was possible, but there it is! And for that you should be ashamed. Simply because she smiles with lots of gum and has a name that even sounds like a horse naying is no reasons to make cruel jokes at the expense of a very sweet-seeming teenaged girl.

Unfortunately, pro golfer Tom Lehman felt compelled to comment in the same vein as you, assholes that you are. From the article:

"I've always felt like she's Secretariat," Lehman said. "You can give her minor adjustments -- adjust the bit in her mouth -- but it's like, 'Let her go.' She's that good."

"And when she wins, you just feed her a carrot and hope to hell she doesn't bite you hand while doing it," added Lehman.
