LIV sportwashing golf v PGA

[Mathewbet1]

Greedy bastards them golfers. It's all kicking off now. The prize money is ridiculous, all above board and clean money of course.

At least the press interviewing them are asking difficult Q’s. The football press should be ashamed watching them.

Just noticed this LIV shit is on my DAZN

I think it was Dustin Johnson who said that he's in it for the money "to ensure my family are taken care of". The same report mentioned he is worth $75 million.

His wife is the daughter of Wayne Gretzky, former greatest hockey player in the world and worth a couple hundred million in his own right.

Graeme mcDowell tying himself up in stupid knots every time he speaks has been quite funny.

Mad, as I've always thought of golf as a working class game of the common man.

 

Trying to imagine all these amateur athletes in golf clubs up and down the country, most of whom probably don't even like golf, scratching each other's backs for various business deals, to have parking charges quashed or getting mate's rates for veneers for the Mrs, parked up in their very own parking space with gold plaque and shaking their head about the fact money talks.

Westwood should apologise for the tweets about the ESL.

This is also funny. Norman ruining his rep like so many others.

PGA have handled this shite.They are going to have to compromise they don’t have a leg to stand on at this point.

 

Hard to knock the players for taking it imo. Yeah the moneys dirty but would be a bit miffed if I was Poulter etc as to why I should turn it down as you watch your own governments and seemingly every facet of sport embrace it lining their own pockets in the process, yet suddenly the line is drawn at golfers of all people. The horse bolted on this stuff long ago, best just make peace with it at this point.
 

Shit spectacle for the fans though no doubt about that. Nothing really at stake when everyone’s laughing all the way to the bank. Hopefully the majors will be a bit more pragmatic in their approach. Pretty much the only ones I watch these days anyway, they should remain in tact.

I have zero interest in golf, but this is fairly similar to the whole debacle with UEFA/FIFA and the Super League in so far that both pga and UEFA straight away threatens to ban people, clubs etc. Currently we are at a point where the organisations are trying to be bigger than the sport and the players they say they represent. This doesn’t sit with me at all.

Too much high horsery going on.

We'd all be playing in it if given the chance, especially those fucking journos.

Same way we'd all play for Newcastle.

Some old American dude on SSN last night was ace. Said something along the lines of the top 5 grossing sportsmen 3 are golfers, Mickleson who was moaning that they don’t get paid enough for their talents is something 6th ever more than Beckham and Kobe Bryant. Pure greed. I expected nob jockeys like Poulter to go for it but seeing top names go is heartbreaking. Devalued the sport immensely.

Someone should tell Mickleson and his big fat head that if sportspeople were paid against their talent in their given sport that Ronnie O’Sullivan would own 3/4 of the world and tell him to go and fuck his face into the water

I might be a bit thick but how is it dirty money?

Worded it badly on my part, was meant to address the ethics of the people making it rather than the source of the money itself.

I think I've probably used the term myself, I just had a flash of inspiration when I actually thought something through.

All true to a point, I respect someone like Dustin Johnson straight out pointing out it will make him so rich he can retire 10 years earlier than 90% of the cunts saying its to give back to golf and inspire kids. I hope they are all dismembered, stuck in a suitcase and dissolved, start with McDowell.

[Bjornebye]

Stick to the snooker lads, its great. 

[Total Longo]

It was fantastic watching Poulter squirm in that presser, the absolute goon. Garcia basically saying he couldn't care less what people think as well, i wouldn't expect anything else from him.

[A Red]

Same as Usyk and Joshua probably, just following the money. At least be honest about it.

Dustin Johnson could have retired years ago,if he didnt keep having to keep re-stocking his drinks cabinet.

You can blame players for being greedy, but the real problem is once again, you have a cunt oil money state that will ruin a sport.
