Op-Ed: KKK Golf?

Time to call out Paul Daly of Pro Golf Weekly and let him know that there’s no place in golf for racism. This article reads like it would be perfect for KKK Golf.

For Daly to vilify Jacob Blake, a Black man shot seven times in the back in an execution attempt in the street by Rusten Sheskey, a cop with no respect for his badge or Black life, and try to paint Black Lives Matter (BLM) and protesters of systemic racism and police brutality as terrorists, while insulting the brave First Amendment actions of pro golfer Cameron Champ is disrespectful, shamefully racist, and has absolutely no place in golf.

Why wasn’t there one mention of the terrorist act of that officer Sheskey, or the terrorist act of Kyle Rittenhouse murdering two and wounding a third after receiving post-curfew water and encouragement by Sheriff’s deputies, who then failed to arrest him after his shooting spree as he approached them with his weapon?

Here’s the link to the shameful article: https://progolfweekly.com/dressed-for-a-protest-cameron-champ-shoots-7-over-77/

Golf media must be better than this.
