re: “These players choosing the Saudi blood money are a disgrace”

I mean I don’t care what players do. If they choose to go it’s on them. Sure the money they offer is just crazy, but what gets the these golfers that leave is the no cut part of it. Even if they finish last they get something. It’s just greed….

I certainly don’t care as I won’t be watching regardless.

So?
If China offered to double the salary of every NBA player they'd all be playing in China.
Are you against NIL as well? They should just play for the love of the sport, right?

NIL is actually the best analogy I have seen on this. These players are just using a transfer portal to get a better guaranteed NIL deal.

If the media guys make 100k per year, and the Saudis offered them 1M to cover the Portland event, let's see how much they despise the money.
The money is from OIL, not from killing homos.

Is it greed or a better job offer? If you leave your company for a place with better benefits, less requirements, more pay is that greed?

I’m not in either camp… like I said if any player goes then good for them. I’ll watch the PGA tour on the weekends like I always do. And if somehow the LIV is televised in America I’ll turn it on.

They are deliberately reporting "news" that fits an agenda they are paid to push. White, rich (likely conservative) golfers... "Those guys are bad for taking Saudi money!"
Anytime I see someone call it "the saudi-backed golf league", then I quit reading. That screams "pushing an agenda" instead of reporting the news. They could just as easily call it the LIV golf league.

I’m outraged that the US and the world isnt boycotting this shite
I don’t watch soccer, but between the outrageous corruption of FIFA and the human rights disaster of Qatar, how can anyone in good conscience support this?
The liberal corporate cucks in THIS country got the NBA and MLB all star games moved out of Charlotte and Atlanta because of common sense legislation that the people there SUPPORTED, but they’re ok with a country like Qatar hosting the WC??? These are the same folks who look the other way when China hosts anything.

I wouldn't equate "fine" with "can't do anything about it"

Who's fine with it other than Qatar and the members of FIFA who were bribed?

In the whole Britney Griner kerfuffle I didn't see one media outlet question why she was taking blood money from a Putin oligarch in the first place. Makes you wonder why, doesn't it?

What does the Saudi tour want out of the tour... It doesn't seem to "make a profit". It doesn't seem to be " improve opportunities for access to all to grow the game" or "give to local charities". As far as I can tell it's only purpose is to " hey I'm know we look like bad people ...we murdered a journalist we didn't like. We have wahhabist that .. You know want "did (do) some things" ... But look over here at this shiney tour we are offering. See how much money we are giving thm to entertain you.
Yes the Saudis own a large amount of PGA merch shop (aka Fanatics) and yes ...Morgan Stanley etc do business with Saudi and sponsor PGA events but those aren't direct relations with the PGA tour. Should they reconsider the relationship with Fanatics..yeah
But they also shouldn't let SA get a pass on clearly doing this as a means to sportwash theirb image.... Which is why I think that the LIV is a couple of years of a "project" for the Saudis
One thing is for certain... The LPGA isn't worried about a female version LIV backed by Saudi money

They want to garner favoritable public opinion. And thanks to sanctimonious retards like Brandel Chamblee, they've done that.

Nobody throws around blood money more than the U.S.
We create foreign wars and terrorists for money, hell, there's currently one going on in Ukraine
