Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and others betrayed decency by joining the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Tour for pieces of silver. But it was a lot of pieces!
Principles are easy to talk about. We believe in freedom, we believe in equality, we denounce murderers. See how easy that was? Dustin Johnson’s principles were easy to talk about Feb. 20, when he issued a statement saying he wasn’t going to leave the PGA Tour – “ all it has provided me and my family” – for the competing professional golf league backed by the Saudi Arabian government.
“I chose what’s best for me and my family,” Johnson said Tuesday, holding up his wife and baby boy as human shields for accepting what even Phil Mickelson, who also is joining the LIV Tour, has called “blood money.”is leaving the PGA Tour because it’s “best for me and my family.” Can't blame him, really.
