    How many PGA golfers lined up to join LIV golf sponsored by the Saudi regime? Last year this was Phil Mickelson simping for the Saudi government saying: “I certainly do not condone human rights violations. And addressing what happened to Jamal Khashoggi is awful. But I have seen the good that game of golf has done throughout history. And I really believe that LIV can be good for the game of golf as well.’’

    Money trumps morals.

        Seeing footballers who’ve spent the last decade preaching to their domestic fans about progressive politics bugger of to Saudi Arabia as soon as the money was better was hilarious. There’s montage that Al Ettifaq put out of Henderson when they brought him, where they went as far as censoring the LGBT armband he’s worn in the Premier League and internationals.

          Millennial/Gen Z depending on definition here, I did not.

          And after watching it I’m still not convinced it wasn’t an impersonator sketch.

              An idiot only getting the job because of Daddy’s merits, and it making you realize it really is a club for the wealthy to fuck around in.

              And so far what has been our decision from this nightmare? “Yeah the children of the oligarchs do suck, best to just stick to the ancient old fuckers, cause the original is best!”
