Shouldn't they be allowed to run it they way they want to?

To be clear, I know that the club is a throwback to the antebellum South and that the members are rich, mostly white assholes.

Still, it's a private company that only answers to its members.

All you and I can do is not purchase their merchandise and not watch the tournament on TV.

What other alternatives would you suggest?
