J! blatant disregard of human rights, yet apartheid still exists pretty ** much as it did two decades ago. What the controversy surrounding^ the Augusta National Ck)untry Club and the PGA tour demonstrates, • however, is that placing restrictions on sporting events does not- break down racist institutions nearly as effectively as economic or financial restrictions. While international condemnation has been heaped upon New Zealand rugby teams and British cricket teams who have toured against the Springboks in spite of the ban, relatively little has been said about countries and corporations that trade with South Africa. Many argue that trade restrictions against South Africa would hurt • the black population. Unfortunately this is probably accurate. But as we are seeing, in an effort to gain basic human freedoms, native-C South Africans are willing to give up more than the substandard-> economic conditions they currently endure. They are paying with-; their lives. ; Corporate America's withdrawal of advertising money from telecasts of PGA tournaments opened the way, if marginally and for -. the wrong motive, to overcome one of the latest bastions of white bigotry existing in this country. Similarly, economic sanctions against South Africa would hurt ttiose with the most to lose—those' who control the economic wealth.
