  1. I had a sneaking suspicion that when the PGA started bitching and moaning about the Saudi backed LIV golf league that was all for show .

  2. Those people (😂😂😂) those human Rights Violators , who dropped thousands of Bombs 🚀 on innocent Men, Women and Children in Iraq and other Middle Eastern Countries, they like to Call Others ………. HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATORS EH?
    WE lie, We Cheat , We Steal , but We Keep that Bible on the Desk to show our Humanity ……. offs 🤬!

  3. The American people do not worship anything but money.

    The constitution could be used as toilet paper if you paid enough for it.

  4. But no one will back out of the tournament. More proof that money is all that makes the world go ‘round. The Saudis are running the world. I was dumb enough to believe the USA was running the world. We’re just supplying the ammunition where needed.

  5. Real woke but you're ignoring the biggest human rights violator, us, or maybe China, doesn't mean golf is emblematic of the Saudi gov.

  6. All these Hypocrites complaining about how horrible the Saudi government is. All their efforts combined could never cause the damage on this planet the American government has. We have killed hundreds of times probably thousands of times more people than they have, and we have been their major ally since the 1970s.

  7. Click bait thumbnail to have an image of Trump golfing, but having the story regarding the PGA & Saudi Arabia.

    My liberal blood was fuming at first thinking Orange Man was misbehaving again, but I couldn't care less what MBS does.

    As long as the oil flows, and I can keep consuming what does any of it matter?

  8. Sorry but I fail to see why using the subject of human rights as though if others don't measure up to our own yard stick on LGBTQ rights for example, that they're somehow savage and backwards. KSA is a very conservative society that doesn't accept others' definition of human rights. It's never been our job to go and shove our western ideologies on the rest of the world.

  9. Why would anyone be surprised it’s just business it’s just money and of course nothing else is of any consequence, scruples morality loyalty. Everything is for sale ……..at the right price .

  10. The PGA is just a money-grubbing, soulless outfit like so many other capitalist entities. It struts around claiming the moral high ground about LIV, then turns around, totally caves on principle, and merges with LIV. All the while the PGA Tour was clutching its pearls on the fainting couch, it was neck deep in a relationship with Wells Fargo, one of the most corrupt, criminal financial institutions on the planet. The PGA had no qualms about teaming up with WF, because there was big sponsor money in that, too. The reputation of the PGA is forever tarnished. A huge triple bogey.

  11. Professional golfers play golf for $money. In 2017, the last year I could find, only 6 golfers made more $money than the CEO of the PGA.

  12. America is giving weapons to the Saudis so they can’t call anybody human rights violators. So to me this makes perfect sense
