I can certainly see the bridge tournament wanting to clarify these women's views are not representative of the bridge assocation, but banning them from competition for a year??? That seems like an awful lot for a lighthearted sign that was probably as much a joke about sentiments of the time than it was a serious moment of political dissent. Why not ask them to apologize for politicizing the event and then leave it at that?
