If this isn't the living end. The US women's bridge team won the Venice Cup championship in Shanghai, China last month. One member held a hand-written sign which said "We did not vote for Bush". Predictably, the right wingers of the organization accused the women of "treason" and "sedition".
The US Bridge Federation reserves the right to sanction the players as it sees fit, and considers itself the ultimate arbiter of acceptable behavior. "There isn't any question that private organizations can control the speech of people who represent them." said Jan Martel, president of the Federation.
