Had this been included in your original post (to make it clearer), I would have agreed wholeheartedly with you. In fact, I completely agree with the quoted material.
I thought you were simply stating that US tv should put more coverage on international players - specifically Mr. Ramsay.
And IIRC, Molinari got roughly the same coverage as Ramsay, but Ricky Barnes got twice as much as either of them.
