The Saudis helped finance the 9-11 attacks on the USA. Our intelligence gathering entities say that the Saudi Crown Prince gave the order to kill American journalist Kashoggi. That's all that needs to be said.

I have no dozbt that Saudi Arabia Royal family would be thrilled to by all sports team in the world. And they will look at the most profitable ones at first.

At first I can not imagine that some owners of the NFL francises is willing to sell such profitable entertaining tool. If owner is not interested in football he can hire person to run organization and still have huge profit. So, I have zo admit that I do not understand why anyone would like to do that. Can someone explain me?

I ain't getting rid of my share, nor my three daughters, one son-in-law and four grandchildren!

Probably not practical anyway, as it would involve checking the ghutras at the door and getting fitted for Cheeseheads instead. Hey, it's only fair....

I think this article is wrong, where there is greed there’s a way. If you would have told me years ago that the once great USA would sell out to China I would have laughed at that comment, and here we are with our current government doing just that. Never say never.

How about them starting their own league, like golf. They sure have he money to buy players.

It's a messy world, sometimes we have to work with businesses and governments with whom we don't agree.
At the same time, to say that there should be no ethics with regard to businesses and government is to cause the ruin of society with widespread distress and desolation.
So, what do we do?
Well, the short answer is, in all sincerity, the best we can.
***
To elaborate, unless we think of issues of social justice (such as the above article) with a realistic historical understanding and a proper current perspective, our endeavors to achieve fairness will only be partial and temporary.
No matter how sincere our efforts, without accurate viewpoints to provide a clear vision for our shared well-being and general happiness, we will ultimately be frustrated and ineffectual.
The Industrial Age of America that took off after the Civil War is also known as the Gilded Age, because there was a tiny elite that profited immensely in exclusive luxury, and a huge majority that was reduced to quasi-slavery in the enlarged factories and farms and mines of mega-corporations.
For the typical American worker of all colors, labor was a drudgery of ten-hour days, six days per week, in dreary, dirty, deafening, dangerous, and even deadly conditions. There were no benefits such as health care and paid vacations.
Most American immigrants of any color did not begin with privilege, but with a grueling effort to escape from the most deprived and desperate of conditions.
Only with the economic collapse of the Great Depression of the 1930s did the federal government begin to pass some laws to enable the American worker.
After World War II, there was even the welcome emergence of a middle class in America. The common laborer still had wearying jobs on the assembly line or even in the office cubicle, but at least he could get a mortgage for eventual home ownership, have a car or two in the driveway, and take his family on vacation for two weeks.
From the 1950s to the 1980s, it was a golden era of sorts for a middle class of the average American, but it was all so fleeting and unfinished.
The powers that be in Big Business and Big Government -- for whatever reasons -- sold out we the people by moving the bulk of our economy overseas.
It wasn't a matter of healthy trade, rather a wholesale transfer of manufacturing to faraway places where workers could once again be exploited as quasi-slaves (while new environmental regulations in America could be ignored to again allow an unlimited pollution of smog and sewage).
To the extent that some jobs just couldn't be moved all that easily out of America, foreign workers were smuggled into an underground economy of quasi-slavery.
So it is that all of the human atrocities of the Industrial Revolution were not fully reformed, but rather simply relocated to hidden spots out of sight, out of mind, and out of outrage.
***
In the meantime, American workers have indeed been sold out, left to scramble for fewer and fewer decent jobs, while most are reduced to grasping for the scraps of a gig economy, requiring two or three reduced jobs just to eke by, with no health insurance and no paid vacations.
In other words, we the people have been once again reduced to servitude in a Gilded Age II in which a tiny few own almost everything and the vast majority own almost nothing. We are only renters and borrowers and beggars.
We're also being played for saps. Instead of us uniting for a society that puts the American worker first, the elitists of Big Business and Big Government have colluded to deceitfully distract us by race and gender and other largely artificial divisions.
Another ploy of the elitists is to grant us almost unlimited choices regarding the decadence and dependency of sex and drugs, even as our opportunities for financial independence and self-government are taken away.
If we the people are fighting each other due to false narratives of history and fake reports of media, or are addled and impotent, then we are incapacitated to reclaim a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Even for those who have done things the right way and are deservedly well-to-do, it's still a captivity of subservience in a gilded cage -- though hanging, perhaps, by the tenuous thread of a reverse mortgage -- in which advocating for our inalienable human rights is censored and silenced, prosecuted and persecuted, ostracized and impoverished.
Everything one has worked so hard for can be taken away at the whim of the elitists. They have all of the power and wealth. We are at best house slaves of relative ease on their immense plantations.

What can we do?
Unite in a movement for smallness in business and government that is an essential key to independence for the common laborer -- a movement of common sense I call localism.
It is similar to an earlier movement in England against the Dickensian horrors of its Industrial Revolution, which has been called by the awkward name of distributism -- see Chesterton's books, "A Utopia of Usurers" and "The Outline of Sanity," plus Belloc's, "The Servile State" and, "The Restoration of Property."
Like distributism, localism is an affirmation of a title by Schumacher, "Small is Beautiful," which has been moved forward by Pearce's, "Small is Still Beautiful."
It is a rejection of the impersonalism and materialism of both unrestricted, libertarian capitalism (anarchy and oligarchy) as well as totalitarian, bureaucratic socialism (communism and fascism).
It is an emphasis on smaller family shops and farms and crafts which are protected and promoted by favorable laws and tax codes (instead of rules rigged by campaign contributions, lobbyists, and cronyism).
Even in cases in which bigger businesses are deemed necessary, it's a measure of employee ownership of the company and employee representation in the boardroom.
Localism is apolitical in the sense of opposing elitism is any political party. It is not about an exact equality of outcome, but of more fairness in opportunity.
To paraphrase G.K. Chesterton, it's a capitalism of more capitalists, more independent owners.
A healthy society will allow extra reward for the minority of the talented and innovative and energetic; it will provide extra aid to the minority of the disadvantaged and disabled; and it will create the conditions for solid jobs and strong families for the overwhelming majority of ordinary citizens in the middle.

All of this is not meant to be a declaration of all of the answers. It's not meant as the end of the discussion but the beginning.
It's meant for finding mutually agreeable ways of taking back our independence with peaceful and persevering determination.
It's meant as a matter of regaining control of our lives from remote elitists.
It's not meant to vilify good Americans of wealth and power, but to ask them to join along for the shared benefit of a nation returned to a state of overall good health -- alleviated of the epidemics of addiction and diabetes 2 and divorce.
When so many suffer and slip into desolation, it's not the people failing society, but society failing the people.
It's meant as a rallying cry to well-meaning people across the country of all colors and cultures and classes to join in an inclusive solidarity of good will.

Article that totally did not need to be written. Golf not football. Me here to read football. *cautiously peeks through fingers to read comments* Yep, exactly what I expected.

What’s your next article, Rex?

Jesus Christ and the Packers: Are Cheeseheads Holy? Like, Holy Holy?

Will Lambeau Field Renovations Withstand Nuclear Armageddon?

Sun Blocked in NY! Canadian Wildfires or Aaron Rodgers Cloud of Darkness?

FFS. Saudi Arabia can go fuck itself.

If the Saudis could buy the Packers, fans would riot when they disallowed brat sales at Lambeau.

How many weeks until training camp?

The LIV Golf - PGA merger (Saudi Arabia PIF’s financial takeover of the PGA Tour) only works because the PGA will handle Holes 1-8 and 12-18 and the Saudis will take responsibility for Holes 9-11.

You know the NFL can't delegate responsibility properly like that.

Yeah, that's what golf and soccer fans thought.

Knowing Mark Murphy's tendencies, he's probably working on his Arabic and sword dance.
