America's wealth has been completely tied up in Saudi Arabia since 1971. Idk what kind of progress you're talking about.

Everyone should have a price in the world we live in. It's illogical to pretend the system isn't what it is. Until a slew of major legislative changes happen here in the USA, you're shooting yourself in the foot by having morals. Sentimentality doesn't have any bearing in reality.
Very motivational speech breh. Might as well kill myself then, eh? If I have no hope for a better world, then what am I striving for anyway?

Strive for materially changing the world around you.
These dirbags have no shame and a lot of you are in here gloating about this.

Agreed. But even in the NBA I don't think it's likely because fans don't really care about players on low to mid tier markets/teams. That's why you could be hooping in OKC and fans would be like
Then there's the legacy argument. If a player like Lebron wanted to go to some knockoff league everyone would talk about how he's not playing the best competition. OInly the most die hard of his stans would follow him.
The unique thing about golf is that it's a sport where each player is really only playing against the course and in the big events (Majors) all the big names were competing against the same course with each other. The only way to replicate that is if the NBA and the Saudi Basketball League had a championship against each other.
All these sports are in bed with devil, so why is majority of people even crying about this deal…

I think they wouldn't be doing it necessarily to lure away the NBA fanbase en masse, but it would force a lot of networks to pay attention, and probably play nice in negotiations in broadcast deals, but LIV basketball would be playing the long game if it existedAgreed.

They'd automatically be the desired destination of players who are just outside of the NBA, and over time would be able to develop a legitimate product that could someday challenge the NBA, but it would take time.

So all the sanctimonious talk around this just suddenly went out the window? I hope the media at least keeps it real and calls it out

And they are still out allies in that region. I'm surprised more LIV golfers didn't point this fact out. "If you have a problem with LIV you have a problem with America!" lol
