Report: LPGA Has Reversed Its English-Only Rule
Our thanks to the Immigration Law Answers Blog which, in a post by Robert A. Kraft brought to our attention the reversal of LPGA of its English-Only rule (“LPGA Reverses Decision On English-Only Golfers”). We commented on the rule in aprior post.
Actually, as we understood it, the rule was not an English-Only rule but a requirement that golfers speak English for their victory speech and to communicate with the media.
In any case, our take remains the same: in the interest of avoiding litigation and implementing effective management practices, businesses considering any similar rule should carefully and closely scrutinize the “business necessity” and be sure it is genuine.
