Any American Ryder Cup player who refused to condemn the actions of the crowd at Bethpage - which is (checks notes) every single one of them - can go ahead and bow out of any conversation about fan conduct. They were just fine with it when they thought they could benefit from it.
Keegan Bradley was asked about the treatment of Wyndham Clark by the New York fans at last week’s US Open:
“I think that golf is in the process of leaving just the golf world, where people are coming to tournaments that are sports fans and that's how, you know, people in New York cheer on the Knicks or the Giants or whatever. And they're coming to tournaments and they're sports fans, and they're golfers, but I think that we're entering a time where the game is really growing in popularity. I think people are coming to golf tournaments to have a good time.
“I found it a little surprising, considering Wyndham's American, and at the U.S. Open, but Scottie Scheffler's a really popular player going for the Grand Slam. Unfortunate, but hey, I mean, Wyndham won, so he handled it really well. I think it's just, we're in an interesting time here where golf is really taking off and we're seeing a different group of people coming to these tournaments.”

Recently, foreign players have been booed and jeered for the crime of competing against an American. See: Matt Fitzpatrick at Harbour Town. Heard nary a word.
But it happens to a precious American - one who earned it with his boorish behavior - all the sudden, it crosses a line.
He could, and should, have handled the situation(s) better. He was not the victim. At all.
That said, JFC, he’s an American who won this championship before and took more shit on home soil than players who have done far worse. Never saw anything like it, really.
Worse than Monty got it at Congressional in ‘97. MONTY!!!
It feels like the delivery dates that FedEx gives you these days are just completely made up. Tracking updates might as well say, "we hope by next tuesday, lol".
This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real.
They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.
I am very glad that Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed are back on the PGA Tour. My only problem with it is that they shouldn't announce it ahead of time. Just have them show up out of nowhere, like Lex Luger on Nitro.
I like how Notre Dame fans are acting like they opted out of the Pop-Tarts bowl because it's beneath them; and not because they were mad that they didn't get a special handout to be in the playoff.
Brave and plucky Toledo. A G5 team, as so many of them are, made up of weaklings and cowards with degenerative bone diseases, faces tremendous physical peril by even taking the field against genetically superior P4 Louisville. The Rockets trail by 4 at halftime.
"How dare they engage in this attention-seeking behavior," says man who latched on to a notorious podcaster and tried to livestream with him from inside the Rams facility today.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has an issue with NFL referees.
Nacua criticized NFL officiating on a live stream with popular streamers Adin Ross and N3on.
