(182,863 posts)7. U.S. Open Orders Broadcasters to Censor Reactions to Trump
trump is a sad and sick person who cannot stand criticism

The USTAs plan to show Trump during the anthem, one of the noisiest and bombastic portions of Sundays events, is already an effective way to insulate Trump from likely booing. But the preemptive instructions outlined by the USTA in this emailasking broadcasters to censor and avoid any possible protest or negative crowd reaction to Trump for television audiences watching around the worldis further complicity in broadcasting Trumps desired stagecraft for his first appearance at the U.S. Open in a decade.
The email also attached the USTAs US Open social media policy, as well as talking points and additional facts regarding the Presidents visit. The only attached talking point, however, was just a statement that President Trump is planning to watch the US Open Mens Singles Final from a suite as a sponsor guest.

OP
Trump will sue them, then threaten to yank their broadcast licenses if they don't settle for $100M.

At this point, why bother watching sports if the leagues/orgs are going to bow down to the orange assclown?

So US Open organizers are deciding what is news now, not the news organizations.

Let's keep an eye on this. I'm eager to see how docile and obedient the golf community is.
