Running 2022 Golf Thread

Klayman questions.

- Did the PGA Tour reach out to its sponsors and business partners to help with a public relations campaign to discourage and/or disparage players from joining or who joined the LIV Tour.
- Does the Golf Channel have a business interest in promoting the PGA Tour and dismissing/disparaging the LIV Tour.
- Does the PGA Tour routinely "vet" sponsors for human rights abuses? Past history or involvement with regimes around the world who have been accused of human rights abuses?

Reed has nothing to lose. It's not like he has a "good name" or reputation he hopes to keep or "get back."

 

I haven’t seen the lawsuit but I thought the primary claim was defamation, if so, those questions are irrelevant. Is he claiming anti-trust? That’s in the other lawsuit.

 

Larry Klayman lives in "irrelevant" -
Legal tactics[edit]
Klayman has a reputation for using aggressive legal tactics; for example, the Southern Poverty Law Center described him as "pathologically litigious."[28] Although he has a poor record of winning cases, his lawsuits have often resulted in the release of previously undisclosed documents that reveal new scandals. He has been blamed for changing the tone of partisan investigations in Washington, DC.[9] In the 1990s, Klayman deposed several White House officials and probed James Carville about his television habits, Paul Begala about his priest, and George Stephanopoulos about his traffic tickets. Carville publicly described Klayman as a "little twerp," and Klayman responded by questioning him about the statement during a deposition.[5][29]

exactly

once they get his former teammates and coaches depoed, and other tour players, it can't help Reed

he could try to flip the coin and rat on some of them but imo that wouldn't help him, either

 

You should have thought about that before you backed a format that didn’t award ranking points.

 

Based on what I have read, the case has almost no chance of succeeding but I’m guessing that’s not the point. It’s all about getting and leaking potentially embarrassing information and documents.

 

What is the audience for Norman’s bitching? I mean maybe Clay Travis, who is obviously on the LIV payroll, can amplify his concern. But they are not a sympathetic party.

 

DoJ is looking at LIV Golf.

Could the DOJ sway the PGA Tour-LIV Golf fight? It’s complicated.

I’m looking forward to the time next year when Disney spins off ESPN and the Saudis buy it and bring LIV to its permanent new home ( and then bankroll SEC football into a new pro league).

 

If Disney spins off ESPN can we get Bodyshaping and Kiana's Flex Appeal back on during the mornings?
