Beer as the religious test in the golf merger

by

On Tuesday, PGA TOUR, DP World Tour and PIF announced a newly formed commercial entity to unify golf. PlayersPrayers will monitor the ongoing transformation, especially as it comes to religious freedom under the leadership of the Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).

During last year’s soccer world cup, we called out that Religious Leaders overpowered Football Fans by banning beer in the stadiums. That must not happen in the sport of golf. Access to beer is the new scale for the extent of religious freedom in sports.

OMG!

OMG! You can’t say that! But more and more people do and they have a good reason:”You wouldn’t believe in a God who didn’t want us to have emotion,” said Jay, who prefers “Jesus Christ” and “God damn” on the golf course. “You can’t have a religion that doesn’t have forgiveness about these kinds of things either.”

Merry Christmas

by

Santa Claus spends 350 days a year shoveling snow in the North Pole. For the last few days he tried to do some sporting activities — golfing, surfing, skateboarding, mountain biking, even rock climbing.
And of course he’s gonna check his list twice, whether those NHL guys are naughty or nice. Today’s elves are really sexy and that is why Satan steals Christmas by diverting our focus.
