' What Was Saudi Arabia's Role on 911 ' YouTube Search .
$$ always wins.
I had a sneaking suspicion that when the PGA started bitching and moaning about the Saudi backed LIV golf league that was all for show .
Great video, thank you.
No body cares about this, 145 billion to Ukraine is the problem.
Those people (😂😂😂) those human Rights Violators , who dropped thousands of Bombs 🚀 on innocent Men, Women and Children in Iraq and other Middle Eastern Countries, they like to Call Others ………. HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATORS EH?
WE lie, We Cheat , We Steal , but We Keep that Bible on the Desk to show our Humanity ……. offs 🤬!
“Never forgetâ€
the US is the most violent state of history the change of of that culture of death can only be don from inside
Taking a mulligan on morality
Just another reason why Trump should never be president ever again. He's literally in bed with the enemy.
The American people do not worship anything but money.
The constitution could be used as toilet paper if you paid enough for it.
Traitors
But no one will back out of the tournament. More proof that money is all that makes the world go ‘round. The Saudis are running the world. I was dumb enough to believe the USA was running the world. We’re just supplying the ammunition where needed.
The PGA is a cesspool. Greed and arrogance. F them all.
Off with their heads!
Real woke but you're ignoring the biggest human rights violator, us, or maybe China, doesn't mean golf is emblematic of the Saudi gov.
And dismembered!
Kashoggi is disappointed.
Will never watch the PGA again.
Capitalism without ethics equals Saudi Arabia. Pro golfers are very capitalistic and easily bought.
All these Hypocrites complaining about how horrible the Saudi government is. All their efforts combined could never cause the damage on this planet the American government has. We have killed hundreds of times probably thousands of times more people than they have, and we have been their major ally since the 1970s.
Professional sports are about money??????? Color me shocked!!!!!!
Hhhhhhh episode
Try to do something else baby
Golf is a sport for scared people who dont wana get hit
This makes me so angry. Even worse, the tournaments will be at trump properties.
Wow! God said we will kill ourselves, it's coming to surface, all fo the Dollar bill!
It takes LIV to prove money matters 😂. Overpaid athletes don't prove it. 🤦â€â™€ï¸
That is America's downfall – the worship of money, power, and status.
Welcome to at least one of the seven sociopathic pillars of capitalism.
MORONahan has a brain of a rock.
Click bait thumbnail to have an image of Trump golfing, but having the story regarding the PGA & Saudi Arabia.
My liberal blood was fuming at first thinking Orange Man was misbehaving again, but I couldn't care less what MBS does.
As long as the oil flows, and I can keep consuming what does any of it matter?
Sorry but I fail to see why using the subject of human rights as though if others don't measure up to our own yard stick on LGBTQ rights for example, that they're somehow savage and backwards. KSA is a very conservative society that doesn't accept others' definition of human rights. It's never been our job to go and shove our western ideologies on the rest of the world.
Why would anyone be surprised it’s just business it’s just money and of course nothing else is of any consequence, scruples morality loyalty. Everything is for sale ……..at the right price .
It's all about the $$$, whitewashing is such a great side effect.
The PGA is just a money-grubbing, soulless outfit like so many other capitalist entities. It struts around claiming the moral high ground about LIV, then turns around, totally caves on principle, and merges with LIV. All the while the PGA Tour was clutching its pearls on the fainting couch, it was neck deep in a relationship with Wells Fargo, one of the most corrupt, criminal financial institutions on the planet. The PGA had no qualms about teaming up with WF, because there was big sponsor money in that, too. The reputation of the PGA is forever tarnished. A huge triple bogey.
Good screed.
Professional golfers play golf for $money. In 2017, the last year I could find, only 6 golfers made more $money than the CEO of the PGA.
Thank you for that, i agree 100%
Solidarity trnn
America is giving weapons to the Saudis so they can’t call anybody human rights violators. So to me this makes perfect sense
