Woods, the golfers said, had to be installed on the tour’s board promptly, giving the players a 6th seat, & allowing them to outnumber the independent board members who come from…business & law. And the players insisted that one of their advisers, Colin Neville of the merchant bank #Raine, have sweeping access to the tour’s files while execs try to reach a final deal w/ #PIF.

A lasting agreement w/ #PIF …would not clear the board unless Neville was able to review the terms w/the players.

Infuriated after being blindsided by the #PGA Tour’s pact w/ #SaudiArabia’s sovereign wealth fund, a band of leading golfers has won a series of concessions from the beleaguered circuit’s commissioner — including the elevation of #TigerWoods to the tour’s board — in a star-driven rebuke of the tour.

The year is 2060. All sports are contested between representatives of the Saudi State and Ryan Reynolds. Cyber Donald Trump is on the verge of facing consequences for his actions. Roy Hodgson had agreed to return to Crystal Palace for the 18th time.

#PGA + #LIV merger just part of Saudi's push to deliver more entertainment options for a youthful domestic population & to champion the #SaudiArabia brand overseas. #PIF Public Investment Fund is their wealth fund, among the world's largest at $620b.

They've recently spent millions to show up as funders of myriad sporting events: heavywt #boxing, #Formula1 racing, acquiring Euro soccer teams + luring top players to them. Sports are just 1 of 13pts in their world domination strategy. -#AdamTooze

#Macron chez McFly et Carlito, #Sciappa chez #Hanouna, #Darmanin chez Hanouna, #Véran chez Hanouna, Macron chez #Pif, Sciappa chez #Playboy …
Toujours plus profond dans le mépris du peuple et la dévalorisation de la politique, la #macronie n’a pas de limite dans la démagogie.

Après #macron chez #Pif et #Schiappa chez #Playboy, on attend #Darmanin chez #Playmobil

C'est sans surprise que nous constatons un Gouvernement hors-sol :
- on demande une hausse des salaires, ils font la retraite à 64 ans
- on veut de l'apaisement, ils envoient la BRAV-M
- on veut du dialogue, ils font #Pif et #Playboy 2/2

Je sens que les 4 ans qui viennent vont être très très très longs 🙄

La France est abrasive, révoltée contre une façon de gouverner tout à l’ego et notre Président répond à #pif.
Il fait cela justement pour que nous soyons hors de nous, pour faire joujou.
C’est une forme de perversion politique.
Et c’est ça qui est extrêmement grave .

Toujours à faire le cabot !

I don't know why, but I just had an earworm for The Witch by The Rattles and I needed to put it on YouTube to satisfy my brain's desire for it. I can't really blame my brain; it is an absolutely cracking tune, even if the accompanying video looks more like a 1970s British Public Information Film warning about the danger of hippies in woodland.
