LPGA star Natalie Gulbis in a bikini (Bing Images)

Well, I won’t discuss football here because John and I have already discussed the Eskimos and Stampeders in length, while Brian Swane has blogged about Canada’s devastating loss to Lithuania yesterday morning at the World Basketball Championships in Turkey.

So, that leaves me discussing about golf– and the CN Canadian Women’s Open yesterday in Winnipeg.

The tournament was won by Michelle Wie. The 20 year-old Hawaiian won her second LPGA event. Lorie Kane, a previous Prospect Magazine “Words from the Next Level” Contributor finished tied for 11th, her best showing on tour in 2010.

But I will remember the 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Open because a quote from one of Canada’s most famous broadcasting personalities.

While watching Hawaiian Michelle Wie win, CBC’s Ron MacLean who was the head broadcaster yesterday, said the following:

“Statistics are like bikinis. They reveal a lot, but don’t reveal everything.”

Ok, his comment might have been risky. If he said it in the 1970′s when the feminist movement was in full swing, there might have been a huge uproar. But I thought it was a little funny. I would like to know what your thoughts are? Did MacLean cross the line here or did he put a smile on your face?
