My rant on the PGA and LIV golf.

Let us just get this out of the way to start with – Get over yourselves! There is plenty of room for two or more Golf tours for everyone to enjoy. Stop being greedy, narrow-minded, and spoiled asshats. Why this rant you may ask. I was on Facebook and someone, not a player, and admitted casual golf follower, started a bash on the LIV tour. His main contention, when asked, was that it was Saudi-sponsored. Further, he rattled on about the Crown Prince, murder, state-sponsored, blah blah blah.

Here is the deal, we have no grounds to condemn any other country or the likes for what they do or do not do. Our own history is littered with worse offenses against humanity. WE DO NOT HAVE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND. So please just shut up on this point. Sure, say you do not want a competing tour against a US tour, I get it, say you do not want the players to get rich cause it is a silly game, I get that also, but claims of what was done on some moral we are better than you.

Ah, by now you are gone, or you are yelling at me. Let us look at our past. Andrew Jackson, a president, ordered the removal of Native Americans from their own lands. Why because it was inconvenient for the White Europeans at that time to take possession of it. Why did they want it, well to plant crops, that they would in-turn import black slaves from Africa to work on what became known as plantations. 

Yes, let us address the slave laws. Black had no rights, they were property. The owners could beat and kill them as they wanted and there were no repercussions. They bought them, sold them, beat them, tracked them down if they escape, and murdered them.

As for Mcllroy, His country killed people just because they were Catholic, so yeah he has little ground to stand on either.   

Oh, you say that is in the past, yeah no. Look at the four years of the Trump administration and the reemergence of white supremacists. Look at we still systematically oppress the Native Americans. Again, we have no moral high grounds. Stop bitching about something that has zero effect on you, your job, and what you can or cannot do.

Well unless you work for the PGA, then yes feel threatened. LIV has a better format that rewards everyone. They play 54 holes with no cuts. How would you like to be a golfer, final can play on the PGA and you miss the cut only to find out that you made less than your total expenses to go there, but your best bud just played in a tournament and did not get cut and got paid more than it cost to play.   The PGA is an extremely conservative organization that has not kept up with the current times, falling back on traditions that were designed for the elite whiter Golfers to prove who was better. They have been slow to embrace any changes because they are locked into a product that is designed to reward and put forward to the public the top twenty golfers and the rest get to struggle to make it into this group. This helps them control the tour. When was the last time on a Sunday, they showed you the 65^th to 75 players on TV?   Yeah, my point exactly. Watch LIV, guess what all pairings got air times and they talked about them all and the teams they were on and made everyone feel they were important to the tour.

There is more than room enough for LIV.  So, give me a break, enjoy the golf, and stop trying to make this about something we have no grounds to be thumping our chests over. One last thing to think about, in the early 1970 Tiger, one of the most vocal against it would not be allowed to do anything but caddy.
