The Saudis made the PGA bend the knee. Is the NBA immune?

Most Americans would be so shocked by this Top 10 list they'd hyperventilate

I visited the #1 country on that list and couple others, and it's all true:

If americans are so free, then explain why americans swallow down more prescription medicated drugs for their depression issues than all the rest of the world altogether. The US has 4% of the worlds population yet swallow more pills to try to solve their mental pain and inner anguish than 96% of the world does.

Furthermore, the US has 4% of the worlds population, yet 25% of the worlds prisoners incarcerated are americans.

Explain to me how that adds up to "the land of the free and the brave" ?

Just look at this, homeless tents for miles and miles in California next to the California Angels stadium.

The greed and violence in american culture permeates all the way down to your spiraling and out of control homeless situation. The homeless in america steal and rob each other on a regular daily basis, it's very violent to live on the streets in america. You have to guard for your life, and its almost impossible to sleep with all the chaos.

But you know what, when I travelled other countries and went to poorer areas, I was marveled and in awe how the poor help each other (brought tears of joy to my eyes), they form small communities so they are not on the streets, and they have just as little as the average homeless in america, but they are able to get by so much better with so much more support and kindness from their fellow men.

It's completely reversed, night and day.

United States of America my a$$ , there is nothing "United" about it at all. It's the most divided place I have ever seen, and it's gotten so much worse since the mid 1980's when I first arrived there as a child. It wasn't great then, and it's so much worse now

Growing up as a kid in the 1980's, christians loved to say rock music is evil ... but isn't it funny how that music was 100% more truthful than christianity ?!!

90% of the US military are brainwashed bible believers , they even have churches on military bases all over the place. friend was in that horrific environment and told me all about it

Enjoy this song from 1986, includes the prophetic lyrics

Because there is nothing "heroic" about your soldiers, the truth is they are complete cowards in reality .. Their entire thought processes are worthless, useless, and completely "Disposable"

Americans in a nutshell

A Behind the scenes look at all the bigotry and hate that is within all your TV church pastors. And americans are so gullible to throw their life savings to those creeps. They claim to be "men of god" .. Here's another war mongering pastor for you claiming "america the great land of god", other videos he tells you to fight for it at all costs and go to war. LOL

america is total insanity personified .. George Carlin was 100% correct when he said: "They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

Americans generally can be dumb and gullible and easy to control with fearmongering. Just give them a boogeyman to hate and be afraid of... communists, terrorists, COVID, whatever and they'll be on board for whatever the top level agenda is, which is never what they say it is plainly.

That being said it's pretty much impossible to be completely non-complicit in the suffering of others so long as you buy gas, clothes, shoes, or food so good luck being on the high horse.

Yea I know I said this before, but I was just a young buck, not un-draftable, but close, when 9/11 happened, and it changed the way I saw everything. I went kind of schizo except... it's real. It just was like it occurred to me how something like that could have such a big impact on people's rational decision making, and how they could use it as an excuse to do whatever. Very scary moment. Everything came into my head like it does in those math prodigy movies, all sorts of situations, and realizing you could walk up to someone and try to talk sense into them and they could be like NO. And we've seen it get worse.

That being said, it does not at all take away from the absolute MEMES of LIV and PGA merging after all that shit. I'm so ded. RMWG was saying he didn't know about this, which surprises the shit out of me. If I was a PGA loyalist, I would demand some sort of compensation. Goes to show how full of shit they are. I mean, I knew they were full of shit, but it's rare, even in modern America, to see that level of "jk!" It's really pathetic, and I think I would walk away from the PGA if I was in it and adhered to their anti LIV talking points. Like if I were rory. It's just like... wow it's like that hehhh. Same with fans. A bunch of fans should be like yea nah, but they'd rather protest transvestite beers.

It's frankly embarrassing.

Just think Jake Paul and boxing. Could any of you novice hoopers do what Jake did in boxing with basketball?


Or think Mayweather vs McGregor. Can you imagine a similar scenario in basketball?


Or just real ballers posting their games on YouTube. A real hardcore pick up game with shit talk miced could gain traction.

Add Saudi money and that’s the blueprint.

rory explains it more than anyone so far... Liv is not a merge ... its a financial direction

It would be tough. It would suck that YouTube would be the gateway. There is always gonna be a big sponsor. I'm sure there ARE people balling out on YouTube, if you look. You'd be amazed at the quality music I've found on there and it has like 200 views. lol. If you look hard enough, it's there, but to actually promote it and everything, I doubt it because Boxing is solo and, again, you need more than just a squad, you need equipment, you need medical, etc etc. Big time facilities. It could become something, but there have been 3v3 leagues that didn't (at least imo, they all seemed kinda wack) do that well. Hard to see... I mean, a person is a person. A person can get bought. Thus, solo things are a much smarter investment for a buy out. Buying out against the NBA seems kinda tough. Just like they couldn't buy out vs the PGA, but they could deplete them. The NBA can't be depleted because they'd need to build the framework for something similar, and it's not there. Opposed to, you know, a golf course, which, while cool, can be found many places.

Edit: also RE: the blueprint, that's why this is so shameful. This was the blue print, IMO. Their plan all along. PGA couldn't do shit but whine and revoke people's stuff, and after all that BS they put their guys thru, they still got scraped out. They were not prepared. They needed to have sponsor money to back them up and, while not match, they could have at least come close. They have 'home court advantage.' It was their own arrogance, so in a way, it's kind of funny, but it's also really sad to watch us get played (not these guys, but America.) I should have known they were gonna lose ( and knew it) when they started revoking people's shit. How much more of an asshole can you be?

Whose alt is the Heat_chips lunatic?

They’re down to pay a soccer player a billion dollars(700 to him 300 to his current team) for one season KNOWING he’s leaving after the one year….


[IMG]https://www.hostpic.org/images/2307242053010371.png[/IMG]


Theyre just gonna own sports if leagues don’t ban it. Dolan says he will never sell but if they show up with 15 billion what could he do? The league might want him to take it just to up their values but…at some point…you can only sell to royalty. Who else has 10 billion for these teams?

What do you think a prime Jordan or LeBron would fetch from them? $5 billion a season?

Get the Saudi’s to put up the money for a legit all star game. Miked up and uncensored.

Shit would get real, real quick.

Players showing exactly what they are.

Whores that help sportswash the rulers of a country.

Bro Lebron was being ironic, he would never take money that conflicts with his commitment to social justice.

The rest of those greedy bastards were serious tho and are total hypocrites.

They're a murderous theocracy who want to become sportswashed like Dubai and Quatar.

The world is governed by people so infathomably rich that it beggars belief, but instead of feeding the poor in the Middle East so they don't emigrate to Europe, they'd rather spend that and much more on someone who is good at kicking a ball.

It's disgusting, but it gets more disgusting when you realize the same is true in the US and Europe, just less blatant.

Saudis are rich because USA and other first world countries made them rich. It's ok for governments to do business with them but it is unethical for athletes to play for them? Ohh you don't want to make Saudis richer? Then stop using anything that requires oil. Which is pretty much everything. They often do waste their money like an idiot but its insignificant for them and they are desperate for diversification so they do silly infrastructure projects and purchases.

You know who else has oil?

Russia and Iran.

I prefer both those countries over Saudi Arabia.

I can see them getting into basketball at some point.

Just like how China pays ex-NBA players, saudi will be no different.

This story seems bs 1bil to play soccer for season? It's probably money laundering. Is there even another soccer player making over $80 mil a season? Even the WWE was only getting paid $60 mil a show to look bad for taking SA $$$

They’re paying Benzena like 100 million a year, Ronaldo 110 million and they offered Messi I think 500 million a season for 3 years.

I would just leave it there. They are now, though. That's our whole culture. It's going to change, tho, like I sed. It can't go on like this forever. People are gonna wake up. I still don't think the Saudis have the structure to do bball, but they could do an all star game as said, they could put up some money for like 1 on 1, all star, and give a bunch to the winner so dudes actually tried. That would be something worth watching, and they could probably even make a lot of the money back. It would be a good investment, but yeah... NBA isn't 'immune,' but it's gonna take a long time for Saudi to get the structure that the NBA has. There's a reason NBA is what it is. It's in decline, and they might need to change how they are doing things so that at some point dudes don't dip in their stuff, but if they do, it will be well deserved cuz they would be sleeping and the players would choose money over comp (which they already do, which we somehow need to stop praising.)

It's not even about the blood money, per se, because it's all gross out there. It's just about someone coming in and taking our stuff. It's like China bullying us in various ways. Not a good look. We need to make it stop. It's depressing lol.

Edit: dudes should take all the saudi money and go play for them all while taking the money and investing it in their military. hue hue hue. We def could use some of their change, but them just taking it from us is signaling to our population that our country is in decline. Which it is, but they don't need to rub it in our faces.
