Naw, its to be expected
things are gonna be different now. She's playing with the big boys now. Driving balls farther then the average player. Putting with the best of them. And if she sticks it out, she'll be definitely one of, if not the best golfer the world will come to know. These things of hatered are just little people trying to attach themselves to an up and coming name. To be associated to the name Wie, like "the one that took her down" perhaps. You know what I mean right? Some jerk who'll want to make a name for himself. You watch, soon she'll be front page news in the Inquirer for something of the same.
Pretty sad but, real.

Maybe, but I wouldn't act like an adolescent.
Can't help it, she's only 13.
Isn't it awesome that a 13 year old girl can be so good at a game and still be a child. I like that her comments on tv are those that you'd expect from a 13 year old. My hats off to her and her family for keeping her a young girl and not expecting her to grow up to soon.
Young girl? She's 13 and 6'2.....Yao!

Getting hated on ???
Read the whole story. Golf is alot about etiquette. There are things you just don't do. Two of the worst are walking across someone else's putt and hitting out of turn; both of which Wie reportedly did. That will get you screamed at during a Saturday round with your friends so imagine how the pros feel. Then to compound the problem, Wie's caddy (her father) was acting like a d!ck. That according to my local paper.
So, maybe she was "getting hated on" because she and her father were dishing out some serious disrespect.

There are also proper ways to voice your concern to a 13 year old girl w/o causing the scenes that occured. The way they handled the situation was totally uncalled for and very unsportsman like and was executed like a bunch of bullies.

Ammaccapane was just being a bitch. I read the whole column and havent seen any readings saying the Wie's did cross their putting lane. Unless its on some other web magazine or something.
where's the etiquette there?
Think of it from a whole 13 y/o perspective. Ammaccapane is personally overwhelming her, and Ammaccapane's father is doing the same. If you had a 13 y/o daughter that was being harassed by people who should know better...you'd act like a dick too.

The story in my paper about this spun it like Wie, and especially her father, were being a-holes. I wasn't there, so I don't know.
And as far as being 13... I read an article once about some phenom high school track sprinter. He was good enough to run in some 'real' meets, i.e. meets where the athletes are getting paid, and was completely unprepared for and shocked by the attitude. No fun and games; it was all business. His competitors were looking at him like wolves from whom he was trying to steal food.
It may all be fun and games right now for Wie, but she is trying to take food off the table of her competitors. It's their livelyhood. If you are going to do that you better act right or you are going to get your head bitten off. Being 13 is no excuse for bad behaviour. And if you DO behave poorly do not expect any slack just because you are 13.

That's the wie
Just think, if all Wie has to take care of is etiquette, she'll be playing in the masters before she learns how to drive.
She's almost already mastered the game part, something that takes millions of us normal guys to learn in a life time.

I think it's truly PATHETIC that a 37 yo person can have so little compassion for a socially immature 13 yo who is being thrust into the limelight by her natural ability! She might have been a little resentful, but it could have been handled MUCH more maturely than it was.
by choice????? maybe but.....
Let's say you had a son, maybe 13 or 14 years old. And lets say that he had a similar gift, but in racing. He always cuts the perfect light, and has the most accurate, precise reaction time. I mean you put him in any car and it magically seems to run faster. Say he holds all the jr. drag titles and because of that, Castrol and Budweiser want to pick him up.
As a parent, knowing your child’s gift, do you expose him to the big league, or would you hold him back. I mean, knowing all the dangers and exposure, what would you do? Imagine what Mr. Wie is going through now. What is he thinking now? "Do I take that 10 million Rebok endorsment?" "All this negative publicity. Can we endure it?" "If we go home, does it show my girl that we're quitters?" hmm...
The fact that they're out there in the media eyes with all this makes me proud as a parent. And someday I hope to be as good as them.
