Disgusting crowds at Ryder Cup

[ChiroDoc]

There is no disagreement about what happened. Rich Beem is a westerner, they are born and bred with a hate for NY/NYC. He also would have zero clue about discerning the accents of somebody from Philly, Jersey, CT, NY, Delaware, MD, etc.

Again they're entitled to their opinion, but w no data to back it up it's still an opinion.

Oh yes, I'm sure that most of the offensive crowd on Long Island were from other states...

This from Yahoo Sports:
"...there were several clear instances this past weekend on Long Island where fans appeared to take things too far.

McIlroy had to repeatedly step away from his ball during his match with Shane Lowry on Saturday afternoon as people shouted obscenities and insults his way, and Justin Thomas was constantly having to put his hands up to try and quiet the crowd. As their group made the turn, plenty of police officers actually showed up to start to rein in the crowd. Some people were ejected from the crowd, too, and the PGA of America started flashing behavior warning signs on the scoreboards.

It didn’t just stop there. The targeting of European players continued constantly through the weekend. At one point on Saturday, a fan even launched a drink at McIlroy and his wife..."

You can't prove where they were from and statements that can't be proved need to be challenged so as not be mistaken for a fact.

It's my opinion the ugliness was caused by white, male, christian nationalists, that were drunk and/or high.

It's my opinion that the crime was caused by drunken, over-stimulated fans.

The Ryder Cup golf tournament is played every two years, pitting the U.S. against the EU and U.K. The tournament concluded yesterday at Bethpage Black golf course on Long Island, NY. The U.S. lost, which is neither here nor there.

What disgusted me was the shameful behavior of the spectators against Irish golfer Rory McIlroy in general, and his wife in particular. They continuously heckled him, and at one point someone threw a beer at his lovely wife! It was a truly embarrassing spectacle, and should never happen at a professional golf tournament.

The golf authorities should never again schedule an international golf tournament in New York.

I was surprised to hear about this. Expected at larger sporting events but Golf ?
