@Top100Rick I’m also trying to guess what they’d swim to the cart to try to retrieve? Like in this scenario what are you going to get that you think is possibly salvageable?

@Steigerworld2 The first rational tweet from you in… well ever. Kudos buddy.

[Sam Manna @MrSamsonite2]

@Steigerworld2 Thanks for chiming in John.

@threeinningfan The players have no message to send. They have one piece of leverage that is archaic, saying no to a salary cap. They’re led extremely poorly and just hide behind one single piece of bargaining power. I hope the owners lock them out and there’s no baseball in 2027.

@threeinningfan Kelley. I have no idea who you are but leave this one to the adults.

[Sam Manna @MrSamsonite2]

@937theFan @ThePoniExpress Whatever he says, the exact opposite should be carried out.

@colin_beazley @JimBowdenGM if there’s a way for Jim to slight the Pirates or Pittsburgh.. he will find it.

[Sam Manna @MrSamsonite2]

@DTonPirates Nice call DAVID.

@MartyGriffinKD If you’re looking for a guy to completely make something up to get your attention, this POS Marty is your guy.

@JeffSmithGolf Hey Jeff. STFU.

@Steigerworld2 John your mother doesn’t love you.

While there are many people celebrating the demise of LIV, for far too long there were far too many mute mouths about the cancer that LIV was and is.

It tilted the game towards greed. It muddied the meritocratic aspects of golf. It’s likely that the philanthropic foundations of this game will, to some extent, be eaten into to fund the future equity of PGA Tour players. It stalled, or killed, the trajectory of hall of fame players. It divided the game.

The only win, as I see it, is that LIV sought to launder the atrocities of the Saudis, but instead it further highlighted them.

As LIV players sold their autonomy, the whole sport seemed to be in the throes of transition, from professionalism to authoritarianism.

But the golf world knew that the Saudis were not interested in golf and that sport has norms that are worth preserving.

Money, not for merit, but for the murky purposes of sportwashing crowds out those norms.

It is in the striving to get better that one gets richer, that is the transformative influence of sport; both the athlete and audience benefit from the norms of competition. Sportswashing, what MBS/PIF were attempting to do with LIV by paying athletes for their celebrity to confer legitimacy on their murderous regime, reverses this process because it is only ostensibly about the competition, it is primarily about the obfuscation of the horrors of the regime. Both the athlete and the audience are robbed of the transformative influence of sport and what they are participating in and watching is merely a facade, a base amusement.

So it is no surprise that almost nobody watched.

Good riddance to the Saudi backed LIV.

@FDSportsbook This is the dumbest question in the history of twitter.

@NFL_DovKleiman Did he have hair extensions? Then got rid of them?

@heykayadams Dagny’s Carnegie. Easily #1.

@Challenger_ST Couldn’t agree more. No amount of training etc is going to matter until some physical maturation occurs. Have fun playing the game. Learn it. Learn the fundamentals. Learn the nuance. Then as you grow into your body, dedicate yourself to it.

[Sam Manna @MrSamsonite2]

@JimBowdenGM There ya go Jim. Thank you. You should appreciate the small market teams competing. Not take every chance you get to bash them or root against. Or suggest them trading their best players with years of control ahead of them to the same 4-5 teams.
