[@davidhunternyc1]

You, Colin Cowherd, have no values either. Jay Monahan must be fired! Rory Mcllory sided with the Saudi's too! He said that the Saudi's are, "one of the biggest sovereign wealth funds in the world." This is disgusting! Rory also said that "10 years down the line" the world will have forgotten about this. Never forget 9/11! A year ago, I wrote a letter to the PGA a year ago in support of them banning golfers who've betrayed our country to play for LIV golf. Now, the PGA supports genocide, LGBTQ hatred, and they've turned their backs on 9/11 survivors, and what does that say about our federal government that allows these kinds of mergers? It means what it's always meant. That money and power are more important than human life. This is a dark day in American history. It will get worse.

Great take by Colin. One addendum to this: the reason why the PGA kept “preaching” about morals and values is because they had to. They didn’t have the money to pay the players to stay but LIV did so they played the only card they could play which was “dirty saudi money”

[@skylaranderson9637]

Seems like something they said wasn’t going to happen

[@saml3959]

Please read the fine print of this deal. Folks (including Colin) are largely missing the story. This transaction puts a Saudi state employee as Chairman of the PGA-DP World Tour merger. The Saudi Public Investment Fund also is the primary investor of this organization and has exclusive, first refusal rights to any investment made to the PGA Tour. Also, the Tour is going from a non-profit to a for-profit. The Story here isn't that LIV golfers got paid. The story is that the Saudi government just strong-armed the PGA into selling. Now, the Saudis effectively own all of professional golf outside the majors, and will funnel the gains away from charity and towards the Saudi government programs. That is a massive, massive development.

[@smoovay]

China...along with Japan own about $2Trillion of US debt. Where's the screaming about that? The US has always sold, in the name of capitalism, to the highest bidder. The PGA wasn't strong-armed....it just had a price.

[@danielzimmerman5837]

They're doing the same with hiring all the top footballers (Messi, Benzema, Ronaldo) and it's just as bad of an idea as when LIV was doing it. Whitewashing the human rights abuses of a totalitarian regime isn't exactly the same as voting for a democratic candidate even though you only agree with 2/3rds of their policies.

[@willieadams3376]

Yeah I haven’t heard anyone bring up that point. PGA tour would have to pay to keep golfers which they don’t want to do or could ever match LIV golf. So they were pretty much forced to merge.

I don’t let them off that easy personally I think they just got offered so much money they couldn’t refuse.

[@swpdisciple]

@@willieadams3376 it’s kinda like 1976 with the ABA/NBA merger. They essentially were forced to merge. If you’re the premier golf league, you want to retain all of the best golfers. The 1976 merger was different in that the ABA was running out of money but the same basic premise where the ABA has a bunch of the best players including Dr. J. Liv Golf had huge resources where they could afford to lose money but pure top golfers in the process. Politics are complicated.

[@willieadams3376]

@@swpdisciple I can see what you’re saying but it’s hard to compare Dr. J (as great as he was) to a limitless amount of money that the Saudi’s have. I think that situation was completely different. Only one team from the ABA/NBA merger made out like a bandit.

@@willieadams3376 I was pointing to the principle of some of the best players in the world defecting and basically bidding against the product you created.

Using these bizarre arguments of Colin's, we shouldn't hold anybody or anything to a higher standard because we're all hypocrites. Politicians should be free to be as corrupt as possible with impunity since we all would if given the chance. A moral compass should be ridiculed rather than celebrated.

No one on the PGA side will use the word LIV. It’s now PIF, so childish.

[@HistoryFacts1000]

Because.... Racism...

Now Tiger, Rory & Jack are all gonna have to eat some humble pie 🥧 😂

[@wgll6757]

lol, they all have much more money than you, let me know how humble pie tastes

[@derekjf4311]

That was one of my first thoughts after this news broke. Are the LIV players "a part of the game" again Jack?

[@gopaolo7921]

Morals don’t pay the bills. At the end of the day, you need money.

[@Nighthawk-8050]

👏👏👏👍 Thank you.

People “sell out” for various reasons but the truth is almost everyone has a price. That’s not even necessarily a negative, its how people make money. David Bowie made several excellent critically acclaimed albums in the 70s that are still remembered to this day. Where did he make the most money? The 80s when he made more commercially acceptable music that has since been forgotten and partnered with Pepsi for a massive tour that was critically panned. It’s the same reason film directors make big-budget studio movies in between their more personal films. One pays for the ability to make the other happen.

People take the money for survival and give there family a better life. Nuff said

All time great segment by Colin here

[@wgll6757]

Saudi's paid him to do it

[@johnnybgoode8104]

Eh, America is for sale to the highest bidder 💱🇺🇲

[@stephensullivan1011]

Always has, I guess..

[@HistoryFacts1000]

It's just sport! Chill, my man.

[@CptToro08]

Colin needed 7 figures to do reads for Liv Golf

[@MaxMcKnight]

He should prove this, who, what and Where?

[@bdanka50]

Colin is my favorite sports analyst... Agree with his approach and opinions almost always! But for him to say he doesn't preach?!!? That's ALL he does 😂

[@bamboosho0t]

This was, as Colin like to say, a "meat sandwich." 🥪 A deep intro.

[@justingarfield2663]

Great stuff, Colin!

[@thefourthquarter7429]

I understand your perspective and basically agree. In this case, this is over the line. The Saudi's are using golf to underwrite a guy trying to undermine our democracy. It looks like a giant, likely illegal, bribe. At some point, there has to be a limit to the greed. Of course, it's complicated. If you're an individual pro golfer, it's really hard to say don't take money. It's also hard for a much less rich (probably) broadcaster to turn down 6 figure paydays. I'm not sure I wouldn't take the money! Further, how can you be mad at all the golf fans who play and watch golf? If golf is your needed getaway to recharge, I cant judge. In this case, it needs to be taken out of their hands and put into the hands of the Department of Justice.
