Greg Norman sure has stepped in it. Downplaying murder of journalist with "We all make mistakes"
...seems about as foolish as it gets.

IMO Greg and Phil are cut from the same cloth...no one else matters...either one could have been the
model for the "Tin Cup" antagonist..."David Simms"
He has people talking about it. No such thing as bad publicity, right?
And if it's not a major or the Ryder Cup, not many people really care about golf. I love playing the game but watching it on TV can be painful at times, more painful than watching baseball.
Any player who joins the Saudi tour is dead to me.
It just means that player "can be bought."
And gag me if any player asserts "it's just about golf."
This "tour" is run by the Saudi government, which means the purses are "blood money."
Norman has always been an Ahole.
Yet you will still happily buy their oil
Selective outrage is so fun
Are they paying me millions to buy their oil?
Of course consumers buy oil. We also buy stuff that was made in China.
Your point is irrelevant.
Blah, blah, blah
I am outraged, look at me everyone!
No more pipelines. No more drilling. We need clean energy!
Just make sure I can fill my tank.
I'll suffice it to say none of them give a rats ass what you think.

Another example of what not to post
Substanceless snark.
Have you seen Newcastle's away shirt next year? Identical to the Saudi National team!
They're not even trying to hide it....

We'll see how it impacts his wine and clothing businesses. It's one thing being an a-hole...
...it's another thing grabbing a megaphone and screaming it to the world.
At the same time, John Cena, Lebron, Steve Kerr, and Disney have some 'splaining to do w/ China.
Murder, slavery, lockdowns, kidnappings, torture, arrests, lying, world wide virus. Have any of these public figures making millions from China been challenged like Norman? Disclaimer: I don't care about Norman, what he said, or this Saudi golf enterprise. Of course, there is always a chance that I'm missing something here because , admittedly, I am not following the story all that much.
The explanation is as old as the hills. Selling out for money. No use for any of them...

I just read of him criticizing Mickelson for calling the Saudi’s running his new golf league “scary”
I guess this tells me that I should come down on Mickelson’s side in this whole affair.
I suppose that the recent media report coming oIt about Mickelsons purported gambling losses are not coincidence either.
I don’t assume coincidences when it comes to the media and who controls the story lines.
