    Funny how they never talk about giving up saudi oil.
    If you are that disgusted with saudi arabia why have you been consuming saudi oil for half a century.

      Yeah. America still maintained their relationship with the Saudis even after 9/11. Money talks.

    Not a single LIV Golfer has ever said that they HATE any PGA Tour player, never, ever! Why does Rory feel he has to make hateful comments? Does he never learn? He needs to accept that the PIF is now the largest investor in the new merged entity. He should direct his anger and frustration to those who made the decisions, not LIV Golfers who simply made a commercial choice. Now Rory has to make the same choice with the same money, will he also hate himself?

      What about the govs in bed with Saudi? US/ UK sells them BILLIONS in weapons annually to kill and maim people (including over 10,000 Yemeni children). But let's talk about them buying golf. No-one cares if UK or US affiliated owners buy anything. Why the double standards?

    More sports clubs need to be made and the only way is for foreign investors to buy the club and look deeply into how the sport goes. Then they can go build more clubs in their home nation for millions of people to get involved in the game.

    • @scouseraph
      @scouseraph ปีที่แล้ว

      You suggest create more clubs so countries with atrocious human rights can buy them to use those clubs to try and clean their dirty oil blood money.
      How about those countries focus on their own shitty leagues rather than tarnishing our reputation and stop bribing others to get what they want like bribing FIFA for the world cup.

I think you are talking about the story years ago when he got a tax write off for his private jet which was all legal but a loophole for the rich. not a great look but who isn't going to do what your account tells you to do to avoid paying tax. you are a hypocrite if you say you would not. this was 10 years ago, so a bit strange to call him a hypocrite when back then he was not campaigning for any issues.

      Yes he's prejudiced against a state that are responsible for funding one of the worst terrorist plots on earth in 9/11, a tyranical regime that chops up journalists with bonesaws, a "democratic" Saudi that imprisons it's citizens for decades because of tweets. Educate yourself on why the saudi government or dipping their toes in every aspect of world sport from Golf to wrestling to football etc. It's called sportswashing.
      Those are the reasons he criticises them, not some false accusation of prejudice towards muslims or Saudi's in general. It's their blood soaked government.
