    And for some reason you have no issue with people participating in the PGA? How does this make sense in your mind?

        The USA is the most murderous and destructive regime on the planet. Why would someone take issue with a golfer playing in LIV and not the PGA? Makes no sense to me. It’s really weird how this Khashoggi thing gets so much press.

          I mean… checking wikipedia LIV is literally funded and founded by the Arabia Saudí government, like they literally created it.

          PGA as far as I can see… isn’t exactly the same situation.

          So the connection would a little bit more direct on the LIV case.

            Okay but a little more direct doesn’t really justify the single-mindedness in this story. The PGA wouldn’t be what it is without government support in one way or another, but even if it was 100% grass roots bootstrapped, the vast majority, if not all of these golfers support the USA. It’s just jaw dropping hypocrisy.

              It’s just jaw dropping hypocrisy.

              It’s really not; you’re doing some serious stretches here to try and turn this around into your anti-US narrative.
