Brennan: U.S. Women's Open "Must Be Moved" From Trump Course

USA TODAY's Christine Brennan in a front-page piece writes the '17 U.S. Women's Open "must be moved" from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. A Donald Trump-owned golf course, "no matter how beautiful and centrally located it might be, cannot play host to an event that is the crown jewel of a women's sport. ... Not after the awful things Trump has said about minorities, immigrants and women, culminating in the lewd and disgusting video made public last Friday" (USA TODAY, 10/13).

Meanwhile, Trump at a Florida rally "made light of the NFL concussion problem." After a woman passed out in the audience and regained consciousness, Trump said, "A little ding on the head, no, no, you can't play for the rest of the season." Trump: "That woman was out cold and now she's coming back. See we don't know about these new and very much softer NFL rules" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 10/13).
