Reaction against LIV, PGA Tour merger suggests principle can be found elsewhere in sport. It can’t

It’s not any of the pro sports. Or the World Cup. Or the Olympics. Or anything you’d bother turning on. If you can watch it on TV, it doesn’t have principles. What it has are interests.

Every time I hear a warning about climate change from an athlete or athletic organization, I feel a powerful need to scream, “How did you get here? Did you take the charter or ride the bus? Because if it’s the first thing, your stated position makes no sense.” Why do we live in debased times? Because we debased them. The Saudis are just paying to get in on the action.

It’s a whinge, first of all, because all our discussing of it will have no impact on outcomes. We accept that up front.
