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