Pathetic PGA Pandering to Pentagon Propagandists
March 16, 2015
The Professional Golf Association (PGA) is making a pathetically weak attempt to compete with pro football in putting the fascist American militaristic police state on display during its sporting events. It’s bad enough that they have a “patriots’ tent” at every tournament filled with drunken, loud-mouthed “veterans,” along with a U.S. flag on the 16th hole, often accompanied by some dude in a uniform to pull it. Yesterday, after young Jordan Spieth won his second tournament, in the background while he was being interviewed one could see a paratrooper in full camouflage landing on the 18th fairway after jumping out of an airplane.
