Where Are The Golfers Speaking Out Against State Sanctioned Murder?

I wonder where the voice of Tiger Woods is during the Trump regime’s lawless display of state power? Lots of brown skinned Americans are being beaten, arrested and locked up. Perhaps, that stuff is not important to such a wealthy American in 2026? Where are the golfers speaking out against state sanctioned murder? Are all of these elite golfers OK with what the Trump regime is doing to poor Americans? Renee Good, a mother of 3 was executed summarily by an ICE agent. Shot multiple times in the face from point blank range in Minneapolis. An ICU nurse, Alex Pretti, who worked at a vet’s hospital was murdered by ICE agents, whilst protesting against the thousands of border patrol agents in Minneapolis. Again they cowardly shot him whilst he was on the ground, unarmed and held down by several ICE agents.

Pro Golf Silent Over Trump Regime Killings In Minneapolis

Protest is a democratic and constitutional right in the United States. I have not heard any of the rich and high profile PGA touring pro golfers raise a voice in defence of these victims of the Trump regime in American cities. Do they not care about what is happening to their country under President Trump? Do they see themselves as above the woes of poor people? Not my problem, buddy! Is that their credo during this time of authoritarianism in America. Do the rich and famous in golf only care about their exclusive and elite domain? It seems to be the case, as indicated by their deathly silence in response to the hail of bullets killing protesters in Minneapolis.

Where Is The Voice Of Golf Protesting Against These Killings?

Where are the golfers speaking out against state sanctioned murder? Perhaps, they are too busy making money from the game to notice the misfortune of others. Getting paid millions of dollars for playing a game must take precedence over stuff like killing unarmed American citizens. Sometimes we hear the public relation inspired stories about the rise of pro golfers to the dizzy heights of success at the top of their game. Golfers who slept in cars outside the course. Golfers who came from poor towns or countries to reach the peak. Where are these golfers now, who know what it’s like to be poor or struggling on the margins of this exclusive world? Where are their voices?

President Donald Trump Is A Golf Cheat

President Donald Trump plays a lot of golf. I was going to say that he loves the game of golf, however Trump cheats at golf a lot. Cheating at something that you profess to love is pretty fucked up. But hey, that is the kind of person he is. I wonder are American pro golfers too scared to be critical of President Trump in case it hurts them professionally? Integrity is a funny thing, I mean, golfers are supposed to be famous for their sporting integrity. Not Trump, obviously. Is the integrity of these elite golfers limited? Is that why they have no voice to say something about the killing of mothers and nurses involved in peaceful protest at a paramilitary force invading their city? Did you know that Minneapolis is 300 miles away from the nearest international border? WTF? Why do you need thousands of ICE agents there? It is because this aint about border control, this is political intimidation of the populace. This is fascist shit.

Where are the golfers speaking out against state sanctioned murder? They are quieter than when they are putting. Too rich to bother with such stuff? Too encased in an exclusive domain to care about the working poor of America? They say that the elites of America are an arrogant lot. Hey, I thought that a goodly bunch of these US touring pro golfers were Christians. Gee, American Christianity is way different to the Christians I know. Killing unarmed folk is not very Christian. Locking up little kids for months in detention facilities is not either.

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler have all made over $100 million in career earnings.

“A lucrative media rights package spread across CBS, NBC, ESPN and Warner Bros. Discovery, which reportedly pays the PGA Tour nearly $900 million per year, has played a role in the sport’s financial growth. Despite the progress the PGA Tour has made, it’s a player from LIV Golf, Jon Rahm, who is the highest-paid golfer for 2024.

The breakaway tour, backed by the $925 billion (assets) Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, has permanently altered the economics of golf with its unusual format and astronomical paydays. By the time LIV completes its third season in 2024, it will have awarded nearly $1.1 billion in prize money, on top of committing at least $1 billion in guarantees to entice the defections of star golfers to the upstart league.”

“Imagine being Donald Trump’s caddie! I want you to close your eyes for a moment and really visualise that you are the caddie of Donald J Trump. You might have heard that Trump is an infamous golf cheat. Hells bells, a respected sport’s journalist wrote a whole book on the topic. Trump pretends that he has won the club championship of many of the golf courses and clubs that he owns. His minders erect plaques on the clubhouse walls to honour these fake achievements. During play on the course in matchplay situations, it is his caddie who surreptitiously drops golf balls when Trump has hit his ball into a penalty area or cannot find his golf ball.”
