PGA Tour says it will support player-led protests against racial injustice

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The PGA Tour said on Thursday it will support any players who decide to protest against racial injustice following boycotts by athletes in other sports in the wake of the police shooting of a Black man in Wisconsin.

“There have been a number of efforts in the past to send a message that the current climate is unacceptable, and these teams, leagues and players now taking this step will help draw further attention to the issues that really matter,” the PGA Tour said in a statement.“The PGA Tour supports them – and any of our own members – standing up for issues they believe in.”

The protests spilled over into Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, the Women’s NBA and tennis as Japan’s twice Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka pulled out of a tournament after reaching the semi-finals. Blake survived despite injuries to his spine and multiple organs but may be permanently paralyzed, his family lawyers said.

No one is forcing them to play. Hold the tournament and the first 150 players to sign up get to play. No play no pay.

Rating will go in the Hole, more than balls. Hope the grass stains will be a death kneel to your Sport too.

Ah yes, golf. The most diverse sport, with country clubs and gear accessible to all walks of life. 🙄 PGATOUR could learn about how to be better allies than this weak crap

Will they also condemn Trump for inciting racial violence?

Those poor, poor millionaires.

Cowards

They will stop playing rounds with DT when he calls? Yeah, right.
