LIV Saudi sponsored Golf Event and the morally bankrupt golfers?

Hard to know what to say about this issue but listening to a press conference today where journalists asked "is there any country where you wouldn't take part in a sporting event" - Putin's Russia was mentioned by the journalist but not a single solitary person asked would say that Russia was beyond the pale. I don't like golf anyway but putting that aside these golfers are disgusting, super rich, morally bankrupt scumbags. One of them said they were role models for young people - God help us! :mrgreen:

Personally I'd rather have a frontal lobotomy than watch golf. However, it just shows money talks and the people taking part have no morals.

These guys fall into the celebrity status bracket, where they think they are something special in the human gene pool.
But society actually thinks celebrities like the kardashians ect , actually ARE something special.

As me old dad would say......They are special alright

I love my golf but the names that are there are completely wrong - GMac is a disappointment, thought he had more class than that.

There's no way anyone could have thought Graeme McDowell and class belonged in the same sentence.
