LIV Players and Participation in The Masters Golf Tournament
Eguller So these people, these folks alone, know why the LIV was started. Interesting and false of course. If folks are so against this, then nationalize the PGA Tour and make it truly a US thing.
johnnydoom I might be inclined to say the retaliation may have been misdirected if you twist my arm
That was my point. Hit where they trained, etc. but…..
Eguller I don't necessarily disagree with you on the policy or actions. I just disagree with anyone saying the LIV players are putting money before country when their country (no matter which one they are actually from) doesn't have any official beef with the Saudis. You can't be betraying your country when your country's official stance is that the Saudi regime is not culpable. You could be betraying someone's personal belief or principal, but that is an individual thing and not tied to the national interest projected by the elected leaders.
Eguller The group, 9/11 Families United
I haven't done any searches, but when did this group come into existence? Surely, it must have been after the LIV tournaments held inside the U.S., as I never heard of them til this thread.
Be very curious to see who funds this group. And their attachments to the PGA. Just a 'guess'. 
"Dark money".

Nope. They protested earlier at Bedminster. They've been around a while from all I can tell - sponsoring
legislation for disclosure, etc. Seems to be made up of survivors, friends, family and so on. Can't find anything about their finances however. ??
Eguller With all the millions they each got from the deaths, it could well be totally self funded, but I highly doubt it when you can get Congress to enact things. They typically really have no cares for Joe Public, no matter what happened to them.
And to be sure, the founder is getting fat, off those millions.

Every sport needs Heroes and Villains. lol Classic from The Beach Boys.
Eguller There is more than one group. 9/11 United and 9/11 Justice groups (most in the news) are anonymously funded. Love when they hide, but clearly have funding as one group (9/11 Justice Group) spent $230K on TV ads.
Hard to tell if these guys are more pissed at Trump golf course supporting or the Saudis.
Just Bread and Circus. Keep The Mob occupied, so they won't see what is really happening.
Subsonic Copy, bet not a single one joined a service to defend the US from this evil nation (kingdom). Protesting a golf event works. Perhaps they should protest at the next event held in Saudi Arabia. Not a fan of SA, but I simply elect to not watch LIV, or PGA Tour now based on their reactions. Always vote with my dollars.

Capitalism at work.

Just want to add my two cents on any 9-11 families protesting LIV players in the Masters.
Good for them. 
Something we should celebrate. Want a glimpse of the alternative. Look to Russia and Iran.
Russia is imprisoning protesters and Iran is publicly hanging protesters.

Are those bad things? We send people to prison for writing bad checks. Sometimes, for life!! 1 of just many examples of our stupid systems.
And, what are protestors? What do they do?
We all read/watch/listen to the news. Do they think we do not know what is going on/has gone on in our country?
In 20+ years what have they done for the good of our lives?
Thus, they are worthless & troublesome. And the last part costs us all, not just the country. No country needs protestors; people are not stupid, as a whole.
So, hang 'em!!

Subsonic Has nothing to do with right to assemble, nor freedom of speech. It (protests) are a total waste of money (ours and theirs) and a disruption of life for almost all of us. Protests come in a lot of forms, and always costs. Money and integrity of our country as others see us/laugh at us. (yes, it's how I feel they do)
Have you not watched TV the past 3 years?? A lot of people have gone to prison for 'protesting'. And the Constitutional defenders sent them there. As they well should have. Actually....they should have been hanged.

Yup, public hangings and imprisoning people for protesting are bad things. 
The list is very long on what (good) protests have done for the country starting with the Boston Tea Party.
Bottom line the right to protest is essential in a democracy. Not so much in an autocracy. Not so sure about people not being stupid. lol
In case you ever want to protest here's some guidelines. lol
Bravopilot Hard to tell
I'm biased, but I don't think it is too hard to tell.
