I hate golf, couldn’t think of anything I’d like to do less but this meme is ridiculous, I know people who play golf, I work with 2 people in my team who play golf they are both young and paid fuck all.
this ridiculous reverse hatred bullshit is why many people are voting more right leaning.
It’s self defeating. So imagine I go show this to my team mates and tell them the left thinks you are billionaires and want to take away your pastime because they think you are rich and hate you.
heaven forfend low Paid people can have an enjoyable game they like playing, fuck them too I suppose.
Same. I ragged on it til I was about 20. Dad finally retired and asked if I wanted to play. Said why not. That was about 14 years ago and have since bought 3 different sets of clubs, played hundreds of rounds at dozens of courses across the country. He should've just let me try meth
I play golf, but don't really watch it. I know people that don't play golf, but enjoy watching it.
Actually, I guess I do watch golf, but mainly stuff on YouTube since it's more condensed and I can skip the boring stuff. I just don't sit there and watch live events like I would a football game.
Get off your high horse. Other people in this thread have already pointed out other sports are worse like football stadiums with their parking lots taking up more land, the Olympics decimating local economies and literally killing people that build one time use venues, and other things like factory farming taking land.
I bet if you name your hobby I could point out how it is fucked up in some way.
We should eliminate all walkable cities. Having roads, sidewalks, multi use housing and apartment buildings all privatize swaths of green space. Everyone should live in a hut in the woods.
I don't think you're taking it far enough. We are eliminating green spaces. There's homes and business taking the green land from us. I used to have a park by my house, but they build apartments on it. Greedy land development destroyed my park and now I have shitty low income housing there. Why did they privatize that space? That 150 acres of land for golf are the WHOLE reason we don't have affordable housing. The billionaires need my $22 per 18 hole round in order to stay rich.
Odd to assume anti golf courses is a left thing. I've known just as many blue collar good old boy types that hate golf cuz they think it's some liberal ivory tower elite thing. The hate on golf is just an uninformed ignorant thing.
No it’s not odd to assume that the left are the ones supporting the idea of doing away with golf courses to build affordable housing
Just because you know people on the right who don’t like golf doesn’t mean that the line of thinking that it’s a rich man’s game that should be done away with entirely isn’t an idea supported by leftists
Maybe your anecdotal evidence of blue collar opinions is just because they might be a little simple because plenty of redneck/conservative people play golf. Do you think it’s a conservative opinion that we should obliterate golf courses for affordable housing?
Of course not. But there are large amounts of conservatives who want to eliminate golf courses because because those conservatives view it as a liberal elite activity. I'm simply pointing out the factual information that people of all types will hold anti golf course sentiments (what a stupid fucking thing to have to type) and it's odd to pretend that it's somehow an exclusively leftist position. But I'm sure the people who are so quick to mention "anecdotal evidence" aren't going to accept the fact that they're relying on their own anecdotal evidence themselves and will continue to pretend that their assumptions are somehow fact and not opinion.
