Ex-PGA Tour Pro Mark Lye Fired From Golf Radio Gig ... After Trashing The WNBA

Wow, the SNL crowd didn't like the WNBA jokes even in the gold ole days of the '90s.

So he got fired for saying what most people think. That the Wnba is hard to watch.

In other words. He told the truth.

jjgold · 02-11-22, 11:05 AM

What a loser

Glad he got fired

Art Vandelay · 02-11-22, 11:06 AM

Lye was fine until the gun reference...

Bcatswin · 02-11-22, 11:11 AM

He was spot on

TheMoneyShot · 02-11-22, 12:24 PM

He wasn't even that forceful with his speech... nonchalant in a way. He still got canned? Wow. You can't even give your opinion on anything.

Didn't mention anything about gays.... race.... etc.

So now we get canned because we're supposed to lie?

Lie about what? That the WNBA is unwatchable? Well the facts would tell otherwise. The WNBA gets more views than men's College World Series baseball, and most other women's sports. Women's tennis for instance is viewed more in the US than the men's tennis. Women's soccer too. More and more women are watching sports and they want to watch other women play. That is a growing market $$$.

I don't get why this dope felt the need to bash the WNBA and really women in general? Why the hell would he bring up the WNBA at a golf event? It's just mean spirited and unwarranted. Wasn't his mom a woman? Isn't his daughter a woman? It's cringe worthy at best. Norm got a lot of jeers even back in the day because it's really not that funny.

Some opinions shouldn't be said. I may think my boss is a dumb ass but I would never announce that on a loud speaker. He was too dumb to realize that and got canned as a result. Of course some of you will defend him being dumb.

The Phoenix Mercury had more people attend their games than the Houston Rockets.

What's your point? The Houston Rockets are an embarrassment to all basketball. That's why no one attends there games. Besides TX is a football state.

You want to watch the Wnba. Have at it. The Wnba is just not for me.

Doublethink · 02-11-22, 08:56 PM

At least he didn't call the LPGA "dykes on spikes."

Neither are the Rockets for you either. But why should we give a fukk? You do you. You just like this radio guy think you are more important than you really are. NO ONE GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU WATCH.

pavyracer · 02-11-22, 09:08 PM

Have you ever seen a WNBA player trashing golfers for taking forever to hit their balls?

Me neither.

mtofell · 02-11-22, 09:31 PM

Norm McDonald is awesome..... thanks for the reminder! WNBA shirts and skins? Yeah, I'd watch it!!!

jjgold · 02-11-22, 09:54 PM

Can’t go shooting your mouth anymore if public job

Ya, exactly. That's why virtually sports-talk radio sucks.

Can't be opinionated. The one guy who had a good show was Dino Costa. And he got fired multiple times for being offensive.

He was comparing LPGA to the WNBA... and he's 100% correct it's better than sh## women's basketball.

^^^ Did it make you feel better to say that??? I hope it made him feel better because now he's out of a job for running his fat mouth.

and like I said before, the WNBA is watched a whole lot more than the LPGA. So he's certainly not 100% correct.

I personally have NEVER watched an LPGA golf tournament. Never. But why the fukk would I try to bash them if I was a sports guy? That's just dumb shit. He was putting down the LPGA and the WNBA. He deserved to be fired for being a dumb ass.

Andy117 · 02-12-22, 01:22 AM

He shouldn't have been fired for those comments. For some reason he felt compelled to talk about basketball when it seemed like he was trying to make a point about the LPGA. Seemed a little weak as far as a fireable offense.

jjgold · 02-12-22, 07:05 AM

He just liked to hear himself talk

He is a nobody also

eidolon · 02-13-22, 01:34 AM

Another announcer is victim to the reality surrounding that is the WNBA.

Mac4Lyfe, I think your 16 year old daughter took over you account yesterday. Is everything okay?

Magalon40 · 02-13-22, 09:24 AM

Beaver ball still exists? when does the league even play? never seen anything about it in years

jjgold · 02-13-22, 09:56 AM

Guy is a dope

Glad the nobody got fired

Free speech does not mean free from the consequences of your speech. You keep insulting the black community you are going to pay a price.

I think that it was more of a blast against women's sports in general than "The Black Community" considering he also said he didn't care for the women's PGA too.
