WTF? You gotta a persecution complex?

Probably due to dealing with all the hypocrites on the politics topic the past 6 years or so

WTF? You gotta a persecution complex?

Seriously defending poor multimillionaires while they choose to support a country with one of the worst human rights records known to man. when someone goes to the end of the earth whining about getting used while they bring in millions you know that person has the opposite of “master of reality.” Screen name is the most ironic thing I think I’ve ever seen. Hysterical.

Also, people have ridiculed lebron and the nba org for the way they have handled China for years. Apparently Mor hasn’t paid attention. Plus, this isn’t an nba topic. If you want to discuss that, start a thread… once again can’t stay on topic but instead full of whataboutism and non sequiturs.


Regardless of that argument, the fact of the matter is that this split is terrible for golf as a whole. It’s taken something that didn’t need to be fixed, and completely effed it up in terms of gameplay. I’m curious what viewership is going to look like for the non majors as a whole this year, I have a feeling they are going to be much lower. Liv and the other stupid stuff like the tgl that has come out of it, has completely bastardized the sport imo.

What is the signature LIV event? Is it an overseas event or a former PGA Tour site?

Then again, only diehard fans are going to go looking for the CW for those events anyhow. Part of me wishes they could have started up about 25 years ago just so we could hear teasers for Charmed and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Wanna answer the question about the difference in pro sports funding between China and Saudi Arabia, where one is given a silent pass while “High Horse” pontificators slam the Saudi support????????

I was actually just asking a question. No hidden agenda. You ought to try that some time.

Welp? Wanna answer my question?
My answer to yours is absolutely not. Those who know, know.

[Xville]

And that is it. Basically minimal advertising dollars.
Guess who else gets “sponsor money”? NBA on the uniforms.
Anybody want to pontificate on the guilt of the NBA raking in huge dollars from China?? They’re such an upstanding country!!!
Get off the high horse.

Once again, you don't know what you are talking about. This is not a Rory, Tiger etc. This is an average pga tour guy.

Big difference in pro golf is that you can play it for forty plus years and still be banking hundreds of thousands if not a million or two in your sixties. Average shelf life of nba, nfl, mlb? Yeah 3-7.

These poor tour players banking probably close to a million in sponsorship money.

And this kind of stupid crap happens because of the split:

Have a quick fistfight and settle the thing. And I hope the Saudis get bored with golf soon and go back to wasting their vast wealth chasing after thoroughbred race horses.

I'm now fully Team LIV. I like a good heel. And it's become mostly professional wrestling at this point anyway with all the drama.

Go team Saudi!
