Wade had been overturned.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because the publication killed the story.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c reporter, now-former Global Golf \u200bPost senior writer Steve Eubanks, told TheBlaze that he quit after 12 years with the publication because it would only run the piece \u201cif we take \u2064out the abortion and the Christian stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout five hours into the editing process, I got calls\u2063 from the editor saying, in his exact words,\u200c \u2018The staff is going nuts. They\u2019re saying we can\u2019t run this,&#8217;\u201d Eubanks told\u2062 TheBlaze.\u201dI was fighting very \u2062vociferously to get\u2064 it run, saying, \u2018It\u2019s news; we\u2019re\u200c a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-73976-ballots-released-by-maricopa-county-56-1-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"BREAKING: 73,976 Ballots Released By Maricopa County \u2014 56.1% FOR DONALD TRUMP\">news outlet<\/a>.\u2019 And the point I wanted to make\u200c \u2014 if she had said exactly the opposite, I\u2062 still would have \u200cfought to put it \u2063in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And \u200dwhat was it Olson \u2062had said that Global Golf Post didn\u2019t see fit to publish?<\/p>\n<p>She had the gall to notice that the treatment she received for playing in a golf\u2062 championship while expecting a child\u2064 was considerably different from the\u2062 way most of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/media-outlets-ignore-biden-again-ditching-d-c-for-delaware-amid-afghanistan-crisis\/\" title=\"Media Outlets Ignore Biden Again Ditching D.C. For Delaware Amid Afghanistan Crisis\">mainstream media treated<\/a> another \u200cissue directly related\u200c to\u2064 women with children developing in their wombs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been honored that\u2062 people have picked up the story and \u200cbeen interested. I \u2064feel\u2063 like everyone has been \u2063supportive. Nothing but goodwill has come toward me, \u2064and I\u2019ve \u2063so appreciated that,\u201d Olson told Eubanks,\u00a0according to TheBlaze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will say that\u200d the irony is not lost on me that, one year ago, when Roe v. Wade was overturned,\u2062 I was playing in a major championship outside Washington, D.C., and \u2063women from around the world, and even on tour,\u200d were outraged. Now,\u200b a \u200dyear\u2063 later, people are \u200dcelebrating that \u200dI\u2019m going to be playing a major championship with an unborn child that \u200cthey recognize as a life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven on Golf Channel, one of the hosts said that instead of 156, this year there will be 157 players in the field, recognizing that our child is a human being who will be out\u2064 there with me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat irony is not lost on me. I\u2062 celebrate that our general humanity and common sense knows why this is something special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And then there was Olson\u2019s take\u2062 on living her life as a Christian in\u200b a sports world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very tough. Being a Christian has always been political because Christianity is supposed to touch every aspect of your life. I believe in comprehensive\u2063 Christianity. It dictates how you treat people, how you think about the\u200c world, and the decisions that you make,\u201d she \u2064said,\u00a0according\u2063 to \u200bTheBlaze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut over the last decade, it\u2019s\u200d become extremely difficult because a lot of the things that Christianity\u2062 stands for\u200b have become political battlegrounds. Christ hasn\u2019t \u2063changed His view on any\u2062 of those things, but \u200dthe culture has changed. So it\u2019s a lot less acceptable to be an open\u2062 Christian and \u200cto believe what Christianity has stood for the last 2,000 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have\u2063 to be either pro-life or a Christian to recognize the simple truth of those observations \u2014 but they were apparently too radical for\u200d the Global Golf Post.<\/p>\n<p>They were also,\u2062 reportedly, too radical for \u2064the editors of USA Today.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u2064 TheBlaze, a writer at USA Today\u2019s Golfweek picked\u200c up the story of \u201cthe interview that never ran,\u201d but it never ran in Golfweek\u2062 because editors killed \u200dit.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fox, Golfweek and USA Today did not respond to a\u200b request\u200c for comment before publication Friday. According to TheBlaze,\u200d Global Golf Post publisher Jim Nugent did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>But \u200bas shocking as the blatant viewpoint bias still is \u2014 even after all this time \u2014 no one familiar\u200d with the majority of the media environment in 2023 could be surprised.<\/p>\n<p>The progressive politicization of every aspect of life has\u2062 long since infected sports \u2064\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/large-corporation-teams-colin-kaepernick-bid-defund-abolish-police\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colin Kaepernick<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hope-solo-megan-rapinoe-bully-teammates-kneeling-national-anthem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Women\u2019s National Team<\/a> in soccer, Black Lives Matter saturation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tv-ratings-black-lives-matter-saturated-nba-finals-crash-time-low\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the NBA<\/a>, Major \u2062League Baseball taking a position on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bad-news-mlb-poll-shows-majority-americans-agree-georgia-election-laws-provisions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/corporate-leaders-plot-to-oppose-changes-in-voting-laws-mock-mitch-mcconnell-on-weekend-mega-call\/\" title=\"Corporate Leaders Plot To Oppose Changes In Voting Laws, Mock Mitch McConnell On Weekend Mega-Call\">voting law change<\/a><\/a> in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>And it infected the establishment media long\u2064 before that \u2014 with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/usa-today-cleans-bidens-mess-commits-astonishing-error\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USA \u2064Today<\/a> easily ranking as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/usa-today-retroactively-changes-female-athletes-op-ed-calling-words-hurtful-transgender-competitors\/\">worst offenders<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Considering\u200d that that\u2019s \u200da direct violation of the duty of journalism, that\u2019s\u2062 far\u2064 worse than the antics\u2062 of empty-headed athletes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fed-riley-gaines-challenges-trans-athlete-activist-megan-rapinoe-debate-consider-official-invite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on a soccer pitch<\/a> or a\u200c football gridiron, or\u2064 even the \u2064panicked actions of the\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/former-mlb-commissioner-moving-star-game-serious-mistake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MLB suits<\/a> in the executive suites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-real-clear-politics-say-they-never-called-pennsylvania\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Real Clear Politics -- SAY THEY NEVER CALLED PENNSYLVANIA\">news media<\/a> \u2064is supposed to report news,\u201d Olson told Ingraham on Friday.\u2064 \u201cAnd anything that \u200bis going to garner\u2062 the \u200bpublic\u2019s attention, that\u2019s generally what they try to\u2062 put out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut apparently that\u2019s only the case if\u2064 you have a \u200dcertain opinion.
