Ironic that this happens on the same weekend that Charlottesville, VA and Seattle, WA have the Alt-Right protests in support of the Grand Wizard in Chief...
But here we are again, watching the final major of the golf year -- of course, that's about to change, probably thanks to Almighty Football!
Next year's PGA Championship will be the last in August. In 2019, they're moving it to May.
And the unfortunate people who try to enjoy golf while abhorring football got a great reason why as they were trying to watch the Featured Group stream today.
Because, on PGA.com, the Featured Group stream is exactly that -- one group, few replays, few features, LOTS AND LOTS OF COMMERCIALS EVERY DAMN SHOT!
And not only that, no variance in the commercials at all.
Meaning, non-football golf fans had to have Direct TV's NFL Sunday Ticket ad slammed right down their throats FIFTEEN TIMES AN HOUR!
Got so bad, more than one of them told me they had to turn it off! CBS, at the very least, had a saner stream of their own coverage...
But the PGA is, once again, showing it's true colors -- to the Right if not the alt-Right -- as time goes on.
The 2022 PGA Championship at one of the Piece of the Ultimate Shit's Oompa-Loompa Land courses (to be factual, the Trump National Bedminster)...
And ads all over the freaking place for the most right-wing sports season imaginable, about to start in a month -- and you can't get away from it.
Why? Because football fandom is becoming White, Republican, and Middle-Class.
You're going to see that, in so many manifestations, this year. Just sad that one of the first had to pollute the coverage of a golf tournament which was probably one of the more interesting majors in a long time.
