The heralded golf tournament, one of the four majors, needs to go back to its original name — the Augusta National Invitational. It became the Masters in 1939.

Um, Augusta is in Georgia. Georgia is racist. They had slaves in Georgia; literal SLAVES. How absolutely DARE they suggest they rename it to "Augusta National Invitational"?

Also, "National" is a dogwhistle for "nationalism" and Trump and RAAAAACISTS! We can't have that name.
