American's should boycott golf

[Casady1]

for the next year. Don't go to any tournaments including the majors. Tank the TV ratings I think this is one of the few times that the fans could affect this merger.

[onecaliberal]

1. That's easy, just keep doing what I'm doing now.

[chicoescuela]

2. Yup, I put on golf when I need a nap.

[jimfields33]

7. Me too. Tennis and golf are banned already.

Only football really is a true sport. Super Bowl!!!!!!!!

[Casady1]

12. This is about letting the 9/11

attackers sportwash their image.

[calguy]

3. I've done that my entire life.

[Ocelot II]

4. It's not boycotting if you already ignore it, which I do,

but I doubt many will because it's a rich person's sport where wealthy men who are too unfit to do anything else put on ugly pants and get together to make business deals. I'm all for turning all the golf courses into parks and let the richies take up pickleball but that won't happen.

[MiHale]

6. Golf courses turned into...

tiny home parks for immigrants and homeless.

[Casady1]

13. This is about letting the 9/11

attackers sportwash their image.

[BlackSkimmer]

17. Same here.

Sadly, it’s not just the old men playing that game.

But I’m with Mark Twain: Golf is a good walk ruined.

[Casady1]

29. I played every sport

especially basketball into my forties. Golf is nowhere as much fun to play as Basketball but what we should do as American's is not let the Saudi's wash their image.

[BlackSkimmer]

32. The PGA has already put paid to that.

I saw this coming.

Even that one asshat golfer is telling people to “get over it.”

In America, let’s not forget, money is king.

[Casady1]

36. The point of the post

is not to allow them to do this sportwashing. People are commenting about the game and not the sportswashing. What they are doing is commenting about themselves instead of the topic.

[BlackSkimmer]

40. No, they're trying to tell you how little they care about golf.

Therefore, a boycott is irrelevant to those of us who never watch anyway.

None of us is surprised at rich asshats making themselves richer.

Perhaps your call to boycott would be better on a golf forum?

Let us know how that goes.

[walkingman]

5. I love Golf....it keeps disgusting white people off the streets.

[Casady1]

14. This is about letting the 9/11

attackers sportwash their image.

[edhopper]

26. I believe

that was sarcasm.

[walkingman]

57. It was...and I definately agree it is a classic case of sportwashing. I'm glad the 9/11 families

are coming out strongly to show the hypocrisy of this and I hope the golfers UNIONIZE - the golf commissioner and directors showed they can not be trusted any more.

[BlackSkimmer]

18. Tell Michael Jordan that lol.

He’s a devoted golfer.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. I Play Golf Every Day

You sure your statement is correct?

[we can do it]

8. Its easy to boycott something so boring.

[Casady1]

16. I hope you realize

that this is about letting the 9/11 attackers sportwash their image.

[we can do it]

20. Of course, but wouldn't watch it in the first place.

[CrispyQ]

9. They're an obscene blight on our arid landscape, sucking precious water from our aquifers

so a few mostly rich folks can recreate. Shut them down in drought ridden areas & build a couple of putt putt courses. I think putt putt is so much more fun than golf & you can play at night.

[Ocelot II]

10. Golf courses are also a blight on our green landscape - they require tons of fertilizer

and herbicides, and they grow nothing but grass, which has shallow roots so it dies back in hot weather (requiring more water), doesn't produce flowers for pollinators, food, or shelter, and is basically useless. Turn them into parks, gardens and bird sanctuaries, let native plants grow, plant more trees, give food and shelter to the animals and birds and let the rich golfers play in Saudi Arabia. Golf courses are wastelands wherever they are.

[Casady1]

15. This is about letting the 9/11

attatckers sportwash their image.

[BlackSkimmer]

22. Spot on.

I grew up playing tennis, but many of my friends were golfers.

I tried it several times with them, and literally felt like I was gritting my teeth at the utter inactivity of it.

[Ocelot II]

28. I was lured onto a golf course once by friends who thought

one ought to learn golf because it enhanced your business opportunities, and I don't think I've ever been so bored. I dragged myself around in the hot sun for a couple of hours trying to figure out what the fucking point was supposed to be, told my friends they were welcome to torture themselves if that's how they wanted to suck up to clients, but I was outta there.

[BlackSkimmer]

30. Lol, I had a very similar experience in my young career climbing days.

That was one rung I had no wish to climb.

[CrispyQ]

35. "...and I don't think I've ever been so bored."

That was my experience as well. I, at least, was out on a gorgeous autumn day. But you were right above, to turn them into parks & bird sanctuaries, since so many are built by natural water features.

[Casady1]

11. This is more about letting the 9/11

attackers use a sport to sportwash their image.

[Ocelot II]

19. Of course, but how can you boycott a sport you already don't watch

or participate in, regardless of the reason? I already don't have anything to do with golf because it's boring, involves tiresome rich people, costs too much, and wastes land. I can't possibly boycott golf any more than I already do just because there's yet another reason now.

[Casady1]

24. Then why even comment

if it doesn't pertain to you.

[Ocelot II]

23. And how many times are you going to repeat that post in this thread?

Yes, we know golf ought to be boycotted on account of Saudi Arabia and 9/11, but if we've already been boycotting it by not participating for other reasons, wtf else are we supposed to do?

[Casady1]

27. Because I don't

think that many people are discussing the topic I presented. They are making a blanket statements about the game. This is about denying the Saudi's entrance into our country for the sole purpose of making them presentable to the vast public.

[Ocelot II]

31. Then maybe you should have made that point in the OP

so you wouldn't have to read about how many of us already think golf sucks and won't watch it anyhow.

[BlackSkimmer]

33. Lol.

Well said!

[Casady1]

34. It is the point of the topic

If you are boycotting professional golf then you are boycotting the merger. You obviously knew what it was about yet your response was about you.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

42. It's better than the posts about giving Saudis blow jobs at least

Those were pretty common on previous golf posts.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

47. I did a search. I saw those too. They didn't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling about Casady1. NT

[bullimiami]

21. Don't worry about it. PGA has shit their own bed. It's going to cost them.

[Hortensis]

38. This. Plus, golf is in serious decline, may actually be effectively dying. nt

[former9thward]

58. What is the evidence of that?

[edhopper]

37. Perhaps you should rewrite

your post to say The PGA and tournaments instead of Golf in general.
People playing at the local Muni course are not supporting the Saudis.

The fact that so many are responding about golf in general shows your point is not clear.

Or you can reply with the exact same post to everyone that replies.

[Casady1]

39. You are probably right

but if you read my post it is pretty clear. What many people wanted to do was make it about themselves.

[edhopper]

44. I got what you are saying

And I agree, no PGA on TV for me this year.

But since so many are posting about golf in general, I thought you may reappraise your post.

Believe me, I have had the same thing on some of my post. One up right now about Biden and his age was misread by some.

[quaint]

41. Do I have to give up my celebrity crush on Annika?

[Torchlight]

43. We often play at one of the two local muni courses, and I really do enjoy playing.

But the one time I tried watching a tournament I was bored senseless, broke down, and watched the American pilot episode of the I.T. Crowd instead. As bad as it was, I still think I made the better choice.

[edhopper]

45. Golf on TV is perfect watching

if you want an afternoon nap.

[Casady1]

50. The topic has nothing to do

With the local muni. It has to do with the Saudi’s.

[Ocelot II]

51. Yeah. We know.

[Casady1]

52. Why are you responding?

[Ocelot II]

54. Am I not allowed? This is, after all, a discussion board.

I was merely acknowledging your comment. Again.

[Casady1]

55. Because

You are not contributing to the topic and just being a wiseass.

[Ocelot II]

56. That is also permitted.

[Thunderbeast]

46. Looking for funding for new sports network

American Watch Paint Dry on TV Network.

Potential investors welcome to DM me.

[BannonsLiver]

48. I've been boycotting the country club sports for decades.

[Initech]

49. I don't watch professional golf anyways.

Now I'm going to actively avoid and block it anywhere possible. Fuck Saudi oligachs!

[underpants]

53. I enjoy watching golf or at least having it on

I’m not watching it today.

[brooklynite]

59. I'd have to care about golf to boycott it.

I enjoy playing golf but have no desire to watch someone else. A golf tournament is as exciting as watching paint dry, but with less noise.
