Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Kevin-l4 says : Pushing the moral argument again like a little bigot troll as per usual>> <<@lauriemorgan9083 says : JAY started this chaos. LIV asked Jay to talk about a world tour with unlimited funds. Jay decided to fight a money war he could not win. 2 years later he is talking to LIV.>> <<@eternitysshore says : If "no one is in a particular hurry to do anything right now" and this thing is going to drag on another 2-3 years, as a casual fan, I can tell you I'm out and will probably never come back. I'll focus on other sports.>> <<@davepoole3664 says : Why are the pga talking double speak not once have JM and co. Said what they want and how they make it happen. Just listen to what players are saying . Double talk>> <<@scoopmendenhall1008 says : I hope they accept pig but not let liv golfers come back unless they deny liv>> <<@chrisyore3233 says : PGA will not be around in 2026 or not recognizable if Jay Monahan is negotiating>> <<@nebula3471 says : Ratings are going to continue to slide when the golf media is in love and drools over a 48 year old player that hasn't cracked the top 40 in an event in 4 years and only plays 4 events a year.>> <<@danielduncan7979 says : LIV is a better product. I only watch the majors on PGA. That is the only time they have decent golfers playing.>> <<@enorth15 says : Jay Monahan will figure out a way to put the PGA tour out of business...just give him a bit more time.>> <<@paulwilfridhunt says : It would be hypocritical to blame players who have gone to LIV for the financial remuneration they receive, because let’s face it we are all chasing the mighty dollar. However because the general public perceives that the LIV players are disloyal and that the Saudis aren’t nice guys, it’s unlikely, especially in the short term, that the public will want to watch the LIV tour. This presumably will mean a great loss in expected advertising revenues. If LIV golf doesn’t somehow manage to find a way to either amalgamate itself back into the PGA, or ingratiate itself with the public, it could fail. And that’s a real possibility. Therefore they should do whatever is necessary to make it happen. But how they’ll do this is anyone’s guess. Perhaps if the LIV players were to agree to pay 10% of their income to charity such as unfortunate orphans around the world, they would win back their lost favour with the public.>> <<@kitusure says : It appears only the PGA, and fans want all good players playing together.. is that what PIF, LIV want? Is PGA on its knees begging the players to return? Who says the guys that left will be stars 5 years from now?>> <<@calross7143 says : PGA top golfers are just as greedy as Jay (and Tiger) and they just want to get some more money from LIV...and they know PGA is drowning...that are the only reasons they want to meet with Yasir. They want to get financially rewarded now for staying on the PGA... Greg Norman created a Tour and in less than 3 years he managed to force the PGA to change just to try and keep up with this new tour...says something about Greg (not what Rory would like to admit)...compare that to what Jay did with the PGA ...lol Funny to hear the comments of some of these hypocrites...now suddenly the Saudi-money is okay and was never the problem...just the golfers that left...lol LIV don't need PGA...at most the LIV players will only play a few events on PGA if allowed. PGA on the other hand needs LIV golfers to get interest back in their events and to give them some credibility again...>> <<@darrinkidd9257 says : Money Talks Bullshit Walks!!!>> <<@colinclelland8960 says : ‘First step’ 9 months on from the Framework Agreement! That’s shockingly slow considering the SSG deal was tied up in a few short months. Someone is not trying very hard.>> <<@jigcam7024 says : Hi im Yassir, you’re fired.>> <<@hachmejo says : The PGA needs to be independent of the PIF>> <<@SOLDOZER says : Jay getting fired would be a good first step.>> <<@billfairless6256 says : Very informative. What did we find out about the deal? Nothing. Not quite Woodward and Bernstein levels of investigative journalism going on here.>> <<@innovativeprogramschool7979 says : If LIV is so great why do the players want to play in PGA affiliated events so bad. It's because of the prestige and the Legacy the PGA holds. Their championships are actually worth something.>> <<@1362pc says : If LIV players are to be punished then they won't come back..thats a given>> <<@1362pc says : The difference is PIF have a vision for global pro golf and PGAT has none>> <<@1362pc says : Billy Ho has a bad memory>> <<@LeprechaunGinger says : Moral issue, there are no morals or we would not allow Saudi Arabia to invest in US companies. We would throw away all plastics. Never ride in a car or fly in a plane. We are all hypocrites! So drop the moral talking points.>> <<@8snowman88 says : The viewer ratings being down feels like when MLB and other leagues went on strike, the fans got angry about all the money talk and just boycotted watching the game for a bit>> <<@JeffM-l3z says : We, who love the game and history, are all tired of this. Is the PGA going to let the Saudis dictate the future of the game? The PGA is in a bad negotiating position and it is not going to get any better.>> <<@chevy4x466 says : Now that the pga is now for profit, pif can be an instant majority owner.>> <<@joevarco950 says : Imagine, having DJ, Bubba, Jon Rahm and Brooks on your tour and still failing. That just can't be, so it has to be the management and business model that is the real problem and guess what? It is. LIV golf is a failure. However, the way it came about and the nefarious means as to which it evolved was even more of a failure. Norman is as transparent as the glass on your house. He HATES the PGA Tour and will do ANYTHING to kill it. I ask you: How can the PGA Tour forget all of that and seriously consider a deal? Are you nuts? Finally, add the MILLIONS of loyal golf fans who want nothing to do with LIV, PIF or Saudi Arabia. I don't care how you try to hide it or talk it away. This is a real attempt to destroy professional golf along with the PGA Tour. So again, why are we talking to these folks?>> <<@kevinvonderscher3971 says : Most of the hate comes from the golf channel & other networks & publications. They all bend over for the PGA tour over fear of someday being on the outside looking in . The first thing they should do is stop the LIV smearing & shaming - they ain’t going anywhere ! Golf channel won’t even show scores or highlights from LIV because of fear of repercussions from the PGA tour . It’s one thing to say let’s settle things but another to actually do so .>> <<@PaddyConran says : Immoral? How many tour sponsors deal in Saudi Arabia . Time to drop the moral spotlight. Lets move on.>> <<@nbt3663 says : Lol, the LIV players don't care about coming back. It's hilariously proud for those who depend on the PGAT to be saying different. The Tour let the players down except for the top 10%. That's obvious.>> <<@MarkEnriquez1971 says : LIV is a TOTAL FLOP. They have their own league and yet they’re still BEGGING to have their cake and eat it too by wanting some unification. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY cares about team golf. The Players Championship didn’t miss the LIV guys. The LIV guys were missing out on The Players Championship. The SUCCESS of any sport comes from FAN INTEREST and the revenue that the fans bring. LIV has neither of those. It’s all propaganda when they keep acting like the PGA Tour is in jeopardy. Name one LIV event so far that will be remembered years from now as significant. LIV has a few guys at the top but even DJ is not in his prime. The shelf life of a top golfers winning prime is 5 years and during that time the best of the best win 7-10 percent of their tournaments. After that they just play decent. Tiger has the best percentage at 22% and he is the exception to the rule. Liv has a lot of no name guys, borderline senior citizens, has been, Pat Perez come on man Pat Perez. Even Bubba is past his winning prime. LIV is a farce. Anthony Kim c’mon man, he doesn’t even tie his shoes, he looks like a slob out there.>> <<@jeffreykinney635 says : Stop using fans as a chess play. We don’t like what PGA did. Stealing Doral bc they were pushed to do it. Then lo and behold surprise that event is now in Mexico. So YOU journalists speak for yourself not us, the fans.>> <<@DK-sc2cs says : Wait until SSG starts asking/demanding their ROI from their investment, shit will really hit the fan...>> <<@dereckguilfoyle1219 says : Lynch is awful how he has a job is beyond me, complete hypocrite>> <<@fusemunk says : Guys think about the product - LIV coverage is better. An exciting finish with the TPC was good but winning the Waste Management? not one to tell the grand kids. Think product, end of! The major target audience is retired older guys - the PGA coverage allows us to nap.........zzzzzz>> <<@wgsmit02 says : No way this goes to 2027>> <<@daveh640 says : Golf today is the cnn of sports news. The pga is a minor league to LIV and the majors. A moral issue? What a f joke! The US has bombed and occupied hundreds of countries.>>
