Letter: Saudi-funded golf tournament is shameful

Posted September 23, 2022 1:00 am

Regarding the fans who attended the LIV golf event and saw nothing wrong with it, I quote a June 2022 letter from 2,500 survivors of family members murdered on 9/11 by Muslim terrorists, who were funded by the Saudi government via madrassa schools. The letter was addressed to golfers who refused to join LIV, including Tiger Woods:

"Thank you for standing up for decency. Thank you for standing up for the 9/11 Families. Thank you for resisting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's efforts to cleanse its reputation by buying off professional athletes. To those of you who have chosen what is right over blood money from a corrupt, destructive sports entity and its Saudi backers, please continue to stand strong."

And for sports fans and patriots who still see nothing wrong with LIV, one can only quote writer H.L. Mencken: "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."
