- Quinn Ewers wearing Trump stuff. Fuck you, man. You should know better. 

Rich white kid from what, Southlake or whatever and you think he would only better? His best cause scenario is being someone like Rex Kramer.

nsiap ... Had to look up Heather McMahan, the stupid MC chick who was on the PA chanting "Fuck You, Rory" & later 'resigned'. Most likely she was told to resign or be fired. She's a has-been/never-was actress/comedian (as in 'former actress and shitty, unlistenable, annoying af comedian). I can't imagine how or why she was ever given that MC job.  She says ‘It’s a Little Salem-Witch-Esque’. LOL. 

[ot]She has a YT channel with like 18K followers. In her latest shitty video, she rips Texans for saying Texas isn't the south. LOL ... tell me you've never lived in Texas without actually saying it. I've lived in Florida, Tennessee twice, Virginia, California, Washington, and Texas. Do parts of Texas share similarities with the south? Sure (mostly in East Texas for obvious reasons). But Texas isn't the south. Why are so many southerners so upset by this concept? Fuck those goobers.[/ot]

The ubiquitous gambling stuff is even worse than the politicization of everything. 

Not sure if it’s worse, but it’s definitely really really bad for people. Yet another way of parting fools with their money, but specifically preying on an addiction.

She has a pretty enormous podcast and she's mostly on Instagram. She's massive.

Also unironically, concerts have been the opposite of what you describe for most of our lifetime.

Roger Waters had Trumps face on the Pigs, and that was in his first term. 
 

Green Day show I went to was politics on blast. 

Sports used to be at least bipartisan but bipartisan is long gone.  
 

That’s a shame, it used to be one thing people could agree on.

Off topic but the other day I realized that I dont think that I’ve ever seen true MAGA hat in the wild. Saw some young woman wearing a trump ball cap at a bar once but never a red MAGA cap.

Where do you live?  I need to move there.

Thoughts on Trump and The Ryder Cup from across the pond: https://observer.co.uk/news/sport/article/a-masterpiece-of-ryder-cup-drama-with-a-truth-donald-trump-could-never-understand

Trump became the first sitting president to attend a Ryder Cup, not because he is the first who cared enough about golf, but because he is the first who didn’t care enough about its supporters. His sojourn lasted two hours and didn’t involve him making it much past the first tee. It cost the American people about $15 million. But a 79-year-old egomaniac got to play at being on the Ryder Cup team for 10 minutes, and so every attender’s memory will always be marked and marred by Trump, just as was the case for the US Open tennis final, the Super Bowl or the Daytona 500 in February. Everything he touches becomes part of the circus, an inevitable power you get the sense he enjoys wielding.

When asked, most players opted to focus on the office rather than the man, on the “keep politics out of golf” schtick, increasingly difficult when politics is doing a flyby of the grandstand in Air Force One, when politics forces spectators through an interminable doomloop of security scanners and stops people bringing in chairs and umbrellas and vapes, when politics has its arm round DeChambeau as he approaches the first tee of the fourballs.

I wonder what their opinion of the Presidents Cup is? Or The Walker cup?

In more ways than one.

I hate the fucking gambling stuff out in the open. It really was better when teams maintained the polite fiction that they discouraged it and didn’t want to be associated with it. Yes, we all knew sports are a business but they made an effort to tell fans that the goal was memories and they were part of something with the team. That sports were part of a healthy community life. 
 

Gambling ads is just: “You’re a fool to be exploited. We don’t care about you or your well-being, just give your money up for nothing.” 
 

Just pure extraction.

True enough, but I'd wager Rex would never wear MAGA stuff in public, not least because he claims to be anti-Trump and I believe him.  A big part of that crowd is the assumption that those around them are like them without the need to advertise for the most part.

But Ewers' thing kind of matches up with that.  He wasn't wearing a MAGA hat, just thoughtlessly donned a country club golf shirt with a Trump logo.  A lot of the HP crowd would avoid such a logo shirt, though, going for the more subtle DCC, Royal Oaks, or Brook Hollow shirt.  But Ewers is exurb trash.

So far as I know, I’ve only ever seen one once worn out in the wild. This was at an HEB in SW Austin. It was a grizzled, old white guy with a beard, sitting on a scooter with a couple of bags of groceries, looking like he was waiting for a ride -- a sad, little, pathetic old man.

Yeah I'm just saying that's his BEST case scenario, being a sort of liberal guy that is not MAGA but blends in well with MAGA crowd. The baseline would be exactly who it seems he is.

We had a similar issue with some Tech players last season, we had a TE do the Trump dance after a TD and a kicker who pulled up his jersey and showed the crowd his shirt that had some MAGA shit written on it after he scored on a fake for a 2-pt conversion I think it was. From what I heard they put the clamps down on that shit in the offseason in no uncertain terms because it made a lot of people uncomfortable.
