Burk Reaching
Is it a mistake? Martha Burk is going to drag the war into her fight against 
Augusta National. Broadcasting The Masters now and showcasing a club that discriminates against women is an insult to the nearly quarter million women in the U.S. armed forces," Burk said. I'm guessing that trying to make political hay out of our women's troops currently in a combat zone isn't a very good idea - playing politics with war never is. It looks to me like she's getting desparate.
UPDATE: Looks like ESPN's Page 2 has the same thoughts: However you feel about discrimination at Augusta National, Martha Burk is eroding her own cause by now taking the position that the Masters is an insult to women in the military. (First two words of protest, Martha: Message. Discipline.)
