For the LIV of the Game

I wanted to let this ferment a little bit before I weighed in on it, but I can’t wait any longer. LIV golf is an abomination. I haven’t watched a single frame of the actual golf, but I have paid attention as a story, and it’s a horrible one.

I never thought there would be a group of professional athletes that would give investment bankers a run for their money in the category of moral bankruptcy, but here I am surprised. When we used to see pay-for-play scandals with college athletes in the pre-NIL world, one always wanted to the side with the kid, ‘getting the bag’ this is the exact opposite.

This was an occurrence of already wealthy people shamelessly taking massive amounts of money from a country that murdered a journalist and funded and carried out the attack on 9/11. If we as a country were not so dependent on them for oil, they would be speaking English by now, and their women would have rights.

One other person I don’t want to let off the hook here is John Daly, I have always been a fan. That is, until he went on Piers Morgan and explained that he begged Greg Norman to let him join the LIV tour, and said of the crown prince, ‘The Prince of Saudi Arabia is a great guy and he’s given so much money to golfers that deserve it.’

No John, he’s not a great guy, you know who is though? Tiger. Fucking. Woods. He reportedly turned down close to eight-hundred-million dollars to join the retirement from relevance tour. Hopefully he will get a lucrative new endorsement with Suave, because he doesn’t need to participate in sports-washing, he just uses soap like the rest of us.
