Fuck the Saudi Royals: A Thread

Yeah, time to start tracking this shit in its own thread.

Fuck LIV. Fuck Mickelson. Fuck Chapelle. Fuck Burr. Fuck Fluffy. Fuck the WWE. Fuck Sinner, Alcaraz and Jockovich. We should not be supporting anyone taking their blood money to whitewash the royals.

i think the most righteous way to live my life in this modern world is to leave the usa, to never do any business with the evil united states, and move to switzerland and only consume locally-produced goods. swiss watches to wear and swiss cheese to eat, a swiss chalet to live in. see ya, suckers

I have made the ethical choice to leave the US to a land free from authoritarianism, blood money, and fascist bullshit, Cambodia

Tommy Vietor had a great line on Pod Save the World about all the big name comedians at the Riyadh Comedy Festival: what’s the point of having fuck you money if you never say “fuck you.”

The Saudi shows really were the first step towards me being a completely lapsed fan.

I always watch the Rumble, but not doing that this time.

I’m so glad AEW exists.

I don’t get Burr going to SA. Like what was the upside? They must have paid him $20 million or something insane. Chapelle is a POS too.

Like guys, if even someone deplorable like Tiger Woods is like “Yo, that’s blood money. I’m out,” read the fucking room.

Is 20 million dollars not an upside?

They supposedly offered Barstool $10 million just to attend a boxing match, so, yeah, the comedians got offered huge money.

Yup. Switzerland isn’t evil no sirree!

rofl @ libs getting pissed at their comedians getting a .01% piece of that SA $$$

Really? You don’t think it’s pretty funny how little conservatives care about other than getting that cheddar? It’s like they’d sell out 80% of the country for a 3% break on their taxes…

He said the same thing about jacking off in front of women who were repulsed by him

He played at our venue recently

Garbage set, I didnt laugh once.

Too bad I missed this one, as I would have upset the board by expressing my (correct) opinion that there’s nothing especially wrong with comedians or golfers take Saudi money. I remember back when LIV started up, people were actually putting forth Jamal Khashoggi’s murder as a reason to boycott SA. Bros, the CIA practically INVENTED killing journalists; if Khashoggi’s murder were the red line, we could no longer hold golf tournaments in the UNITED STATES

Wow that’s just insane money and I can’t believe Portnoy turned down even $1mm. I would have no problem with any of these guys taking 10 and writing a check for 7.5 to habitat for humanity or some such. Thanks for the row of houses, dirty oil money.

For most of them, I’m not surprised and don’t really care about them.

But for people like Bill Burr it’s pretty infuriating.

Dang, OK. I will take one for the team and attend a boxing match in Saudi Arabia for $10M.

How will you sleep at night?
