Sports media and social media are crushing Phil Mickelson for taking $200m from the Saudis.
Sleepy, creepy Joe goes over to Saudi Arabia to kiss some royal hind end, and the media goes silent.
“Sports media and social media are crushing Phil Mickelson for taking $200m from the Saudis.”
“Reportedly” taking $200 million. That word is one of the ways that an item can get into the news. Later it is reported as proven fact. The PGATour has allowed exceptions for their members to play in a tournament in Saudi Arabia as recently as Feb 2022. Top players get a hefty appearance fee at such tournaments in the Middle East. On the PGA Tour, players who miss the cut, make zero dollars that week.
