  • LIV Players and Participation in The Masters Golf Tournament

johnnydoom Their own countries have no sanctions against the Saudi Arabia. Not sure why the golfers would, or should, be held to a higher standard than their own governments have. It's their right to protest though, and I'm sure they are being compensated in some way for it.

This exactly.

Eguller How long will it be before the 3000+ US citizens murdered, mostly by Saudi nationals

Maybe I'm just not remembering but is there ANY evidence that the Saudi state was involved in 911 and not just some of their citizens? I for one would not want to be held responsible for all the terrible things lone wolf Americans did all over the world.
And if there was proof we should have bombed the shit out of them and worrying about something as trivial as LIV wouldn't be an issue.

    sdandrea1 free if political implications. Like in the Olympics,

    Nothing has been more political than the Olympics through the years

    garyt1957 And if there was proof we should have bombed the shit out of them and worrying about something as trivial as LIV wouldn't be an issue.

    From all I can tell, not all of the investigation results into the event have been released and are classified. Currently,
    it appears that 9/11 group and others are still trying to get the info released. Good luck with that.

    Like other things the Saudis have done, they believe they helped fund, etc. their efforts in 9/11.

      Eguller If the U.S. government is hiding incriminating evidence against a group that funded and/or organized terrorists that killed U.S. citizens, then the protesters have chosen the wrong entity to protest.

      And we taught them how to fly!

      And yet, a lot of times we are. I would never set foot outside the U.S. myself. I no longer gamble, esp. with my/on my life.

        Eguller So, if you have some rogue employees that keep doing things you know absolutely nothing about, you are responsible for their actions? You gave them bonuses, and salary to spend.

        What about that gal that was denied entry to the Rockettes? Maybe she was doing things 'on her own', for her company.

        I'm not defending any damn foreign country, just saying things are written the way Americans want them written. Due diligence, please.

        Eguller the Saudis helped

        Correct...Saudis.....does not say 'Saudi gvt.' directly. If...I read it right.

        Eguller This states their case very well.

        The only thing that does is make me believe that the kooky conspiracy theories that the U.S. secretly organized the whole thing to gin up an excuse for wars to enrich the military industrial and government complex might possibly have had some merit.

        You can go outside of the U.S.. Just make sure it’s a country that is a democracy. πŸ˜‰ Anyone who travels to a country that isn’t is taking a big chance.

        That info came from the recently released, declassified FBI investigation, not some conspiracy theory.

          Eguller It supports the conspiracy theory. Why would the U.S. Gov. suppress Saudi involvement? Saudis were asked to facilitate attack? Saudi money going to politicians? Saudis have photos of U.S. President cavorting with loose women? It certainly wouldn't be the oil. We could've sent the military in and took the oil for ourselves if we had the justification that they were funding the terrorists. Maybe I'm overlooking some other possibilities, but the first two seem to make the most sense if the incriminating evidence was available and deliberately suppressed.

          Par4QC You cannot take a shit without paying taxes. Think about it. Unless you do it in the woods. And no one sees you.

          If nobody sees you, does it stink?

            I'm watching the Masters because it's The MASTERS, dammit! πŸ˜‰

            Sneaky, your examples seems to be an apple vs orange, protesting government vs protesting private enterprises.

            This group refuses to accept the 9/11 reports and other documents that have been made available, Other than the nationality of individuals is the only focal point without evidence to back up their claims. I think the closest they come to getting the Saudi govt linked is one or two individuals on the west coast who aide one or two of the attackers, not clear this was govt approved or these were two individual who believed in the attackers cause.

            IMO protesting the LIV players playing at golf courses is too far of a reach to be protesting the govt. Where is this group for the ladies golfers?

            I'm watching the masters, its entertainment, its not where I go to get social information, including news. Its to relax and enjoy, admire some level of skills we most likelly will never achieve. Of course there are the occassional bloopers which we can all relate too, and enjoy.
