Mickelson to boycott Detroit after News article

Discussion in 'Journalism topics only' started by MeanGreenATO, Jul 2, 2021.

  1. It is a relevant news article, but I personally would not have assigned it. And if I were the reporter assigned to write, I would be none too pleased.

    So, I do understand why Mickelson is upset and I do think he has every right to chew out the paper if he so chooses. But boycotting an entire tournament because of it? That’s only punishing the fans. That’s bush league. He probably wanted an “out” to avoid going to this event in the future, so he conveniently found it.

    If you decide not to come back, why announce it to the world a year out?

    Oh, yeah: Because you're an attention whore.

    I presume he announced it a year out so the horse-drawn wagon train he travelled in cross country to get to the difficult to reach Detroit area would know they won’t be counting on his business next year. He’s kind like that.

    Maybe he got drunk and his mouth wrote a check his ass couldn't cash. Not the first time that's happened on social media.

    Such a overly sensitive pampered fucking child. Either play or don't play, but shut the fuck up.

    Phil's gotten so much love from the national media and the golf media over the years he started to believe this "every man" shit that they portrayed him as. But that I don't fault him for.

    Multiple-time major winner found getting worked over financially by mob connections in court filings … that’s newsworthy enough.

    What's the difference between Phil Mickelson and his wife? With his wife, the boobs are fake but the personality is real.
