@ade_oladipo1 I actually think Fabio is the better boxer with more strings to his bow! I think it’s a 50/50 only if it’s a shootout! Fabio will turn up with a plan A,B and C! I think he’ll weather an early storm and stop him around 8 to 10.. it’ll be good while it lasts..
There will be people who think this is deeply unfair, but it can’t be avoided anymore. You cannot do politics like this now - going on the radio or TV and using a clever form of words to avoid saying the thing you think will end your career. It doesn’t work and it hasn’t worked for a long time.
The career-ending thing isn’t saying “I broke that promise and I’m sorry, but here’s why I really think it’s the right thing to do…” It is repeatedly saying you did it without holding up your hands; in the process treating your audience like they’re daft and eroding trust so much that nobody listens to your actual argument. Why would you get a hearing for what you believe is right if you can’t show enough respect to admit your choice broke a promise?
No parent would accept that kind of apology from a child; why do some of our politicians still think voters should accept it from them? Trust people to give you a hearing and they’ll listen even when you admit mistakes - maybe even more then, because it is human.
How the golf cart destroyed American golf culture:
Disclaimer: I play in carts sometimes. This isn’t “You suck if you play in a golf cart”.
Public golf culture in the USA has a lot of problems. And imo the golf cart was what changed the game.
In the UK and Australia, golf is seen as a healthy social hobby. It’s a nature walk while hitting a golf ball and then a beer with friends afterwards.
In America, it’s mocked. A lazy man’s game. Driving around getting smashed. It’s slow and often tense. It’s like sitting in traffic.
How did the golf cart hurt the game?
Takes away the health benefits
Horrible for the turf
Makes expensive and ugly cart paths mandatory
Allows for more drinking, most don’t want to get drunk while walking
Takes away the natural high
Allows for bad golf course design
Almost all of the great private golf clubs in the USA are walking only or highly encourage walking. This isn’t a coincidence. Golf is simply a walking game. It’s better for all involved. (With exemption for the handicapped.)
As American golf evolves, thankfully we are seeing a move back to walking courses. The Park in Florida mandates walking in the mornings. Bandon Dunes and Sand Valley are walking only. And golfers are buying in!
I learned playing cart golf as an adult. Walking 18 holes seemed like a chore.
But once you start walking, you get it. And it becomes easier and easier and then becomes what you crave. The walk.
Yes in Texas or Florida summers, carts will be used. Yes at mountain and some desert courses they are needed.
But for a normal parkland course, we need to eschew the cart. It’s better for the game and for everyone who plays it.
For all the cart golfers, give it a try if your course is walkable. It’s better in all ways.
@campbellclaret Sorry did a public funded broadcaster not lie to the public it serves to control a narrative? Are they not trying to create a bias? Surely that’s the real weakness? Stop being a baby & take the L. Some spin doctor you !!!
@TRobinsonNewEra Wasn’t this an opportunity to present facts against lies. It’s obvious there was neither 110,000 or 3,000,000 people at the event. You could have said conservative estimate was 1,000,000 and you have a valid 10x lie to get them on. Instead you joined the media in telling lies.
@campbellclaret@elonmusk Mate I say this sincerely- you have had your troubles with mental health over the years - I see a man spiralling again. Take a break please.
@IFLTV@BenGWhittaker Nonsense. He didn’t once get up and ‘test’ it out to see if he could continue. If you sprain an ankle it would be natural to get up… No mention of the neck injury either….
