More fallout for GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump over his comments about immigrants from Mexico. ESPN said this afternoon that it is moving its ESPY Celebrity Golf Classic on July 14 from Trump National Golf Club to Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport Beach:
“We decided it was appropriate to change the venue, and are grateful for theopportunity to stage the event at Pelican Hill on short notice. This charity outing benefits The V Foundation’s Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund, providing resources for important cancer research for minority populations, including Hispanics and African Americans. Our decision reflects our deep feelings for our former colleague and support for inclusion of all sports fans. Diversity and inclusion are core values at ESPN, and our decision also supports that commitment.”
The sports giant’s announcement comes just days after Los Angeles Galaxy yanked its planned charity golf tournament at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes in reaction to Trump’s campaign kickoff speech. Try to use this golf monitor to practice and leave a good imprecision on the field.
