The Constitution once said that black peoples vote only counted as 3/5 of a white person.
That’s not what the 3/5 compromise is. It says that for every slave in a state that state gets to count them as 3/5 of a person for population towards representation in government. It has nothing to do with black people voting and it’s actually still in the constitution.
Free history lesson for you

The Tour has every right to defend its franchise, its sponsors and their players in good standing.
The monopoly angle is silly. Players from the U.S. are playing in other Tours worldwide .
PGA Tour events pump a lot of money in local economies and charities.
I helped sponsor local Pro's and my Company sponsored players and as Tournament main sponsor. We sponsored Pro-Am's and great organizations like Make-A-Wish.
I have found that the PGA is very well run and are very professional to deal with in my interactions with Officals.
One of the most important things that they have done is to eliminate the Q School and make the Korn Ferry Tour a stepping stone to the Tour and earning a card.

First thing I thought of, Mingo regrets the error. Point remains

Of course, but they don't have the right to be anti competitive. Are they? I'm not sure, I'm not privy to enough information and it's not my area of expertise.

Congrats on not knowing how monopolies work. It won't stop you from spewing a bunch of rambling nonsense as you've shown time and time again.

None of that matters in the least to an anti trust court.

Sure it does. I'm sure that the Tour will have many Players and others testify of its behalf.
The PGA Tour legal team is ready for the battle.

Good luck to them if their defense is they give money to Make a Wish

Pretty big assumption considering their track record to this point.
Maybe they'll win, no one on this board knows, but your contention that people going up and giving son stories about giving to the first tee ain't going to be the reason why. In fact, that arguement is moronic

All the did was eliminate Q school graduates going straight to the tour, now they go to the FF tour. It still costs around 5K to try Q school.

Sort of. But the most interesting part, at least to me, of this whole thing is the PGA Tour is not a business, it’s not an LLC, it’s not part of a franchise, it’s a charity.
Charities aren’t supposed to be making any decisions based on ‘competition in their market’. There is no ‘market’ for a charity. There are nothing more than events/donors that raise money for their ultimate cause.
The United Way isn’t blocking their independent contractors from working for The Red Cross due to competitive reasons.

Nice the way that you cherry pick comments.
Why should LIV win a judgement ?
The PGA Commissioner didn't make a move without the Player Policy Board approval.
Basically the LIV Players own peers banned them.

Im not sure they should. But in my opinion they will probably get an injunction until a ruling is made.

I don't know why you can't get it through your thick, seemingly empty, skull that just because they do something that doesn't make it legal

Always hurling the insults.
To answer, the ban didn't make it illegal either.
Especially when a lot of LIV guys resigned.

The court will be deciding that shortly it seems. Until then, the suspended players will likely recieve an injunction.

The lawsuit also brings in Augusta. The chairman told players not to play in LIV events. They are just putting together a bunch of stuff and hope something sticks.
Posted on 8/4/22 at 3:59 pm to bopper50
I hope LIV players cash in even more now. frick Monahan and his dictatorship views. PGA Tour needs to learn a lesson for promoting such a chode bag.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe The Masters is still an invitational.
Now they offer spots to recent tour winners and the top 50 money list as a guideline.
But as a private entity, they can un-invite any players they choose.

It's not nearly that simple, but sure

That's the way I see it too and I hope that is what they do. The LIV players wanted an easier schedule and more money. Let them have that, while crying why they can't play at the Masters anymore.

You've also never read a court case before or understand anything more complicated than 2+2
