Saudi Golf Tour
Can someone explain to me why there's so much hand-wringing about this Saudi Golf Tour? Apart from the Sports-washing aspect of it I don't see the problem. The Saudi's or anyone / country / can start a golf tour if they want, it's to coin a phrase 'a free world' right? The PGA Tour had to start somewhere, they haven't got a monopoly on golf, the players are free to choose where they play, what the fuck has it got to do with anyone apart from the players? I don't get why wee Rory is shouting his mouth off about it, seemingly wetting himself. I'm not a massive fan of the world of golf, I find it quite twee and pretentious, so it's all quite amusing to me, but why all the furore? I'm guessing money, someone with a bigger ball has turned-up and it's put some noses out of joint ... right?

SiJo pretty much gave me all the answers ... as I thought ... just a load of people unhappy that another load of people are going to earn more money than they are.

I don't play golf but I wouldn't support products that sponsored an event in a country that would imprison me for being me.

Re: Saudi Golf Tour
These organisations wrap themselves in the Pride flag and then enable regimes that criminalise gay people. FIFA is the worst offender.
