McIlroy Says No More Golf With Trump

Rory McIlroy, who played with PINO in 2017, says won't happen again.
ESPN crawl.
Don't have the exact quote, but to paraphrase: He's acting like this is some contest. Its not supposed to be how leaders act.
Good for him. We gave him some heat when he played that round. Then he said, pretty much, hey, its the president.
But, he's speaking out now because PINO is not a leader. Does he no longer consider it any honor to play with THIS president?
Thinking, yes.
On Edit: now if a few of his high profile pals join in, PINO will have a fit!

Given that you referenced ESPN does it belong in sports?

I read the full article earlier today, I am now a fan of his. He gave excellent reasons for shunning Trump.

...a sport angle in GD? Come on!
The post is about the usurper in the WH. It's a politics post, which is what we're here for.
As to the nature of the post, I was trying to post while reading the crawl.
I wasn't trying to write a essay for a grade.

And I was even able to put aside my disgust at his personal behavior. It was his business, right?

But the way he has allowed Trump to use him as a studly prop? That was it. I'm not on Team Tiger any more.

Good for you Rory!

I'm happy that tiger put his life and his game back together, and I'm happy for him that he won the Masters again. But accepting the PMF from that asshole really put me off, pretty much forever. Tiger doesn't deserve that, IMO. I guess PINO will give it to his barber next.
