London Saudi Invitational completes Round 1, doesn’t break YouTube audience live stream record.
Quick intro for those in the dark: 54 holes, shotgun start, guaranteed money, no one will ever remember who wins this event, certainly won’t remember who played in it or where it was held.
But they will remember that Phil and DJ were the headliners of the most absurd plot to ruin legacies for the sake of $$$. Like the old Barnum & Bailey Circus…the one with animals and clowns and peanuts, only with fake smiles, PR-scribed talking points, all underwritten by a nation with blazing human rights discriminations and monstrosities.
Pundits are referring to the launch of LIV as an act of ‘sportswashing’ by the Saudis to flip their well-earned rep as human rights monsters.
Like ‘pandemic’ and ‘protocols’ and even ‘Zoom,’ we hope to never hear the term ‘sportswashing’ again, but know we will — over and over and over…
Who’s who?
