And they’ve got the World Cup next year ( with Trump trying to move the games away from Democrat states…)

I think there has always been catcalls. I remember watching the golf in the past and being disgusted at the jeers of the Americans towards the Europeans. However, now the shouts continue and get worse while the golfers are actually playing which didn't happen before and was very much frowned on.

My husband and I have been talking about this.
The Europeans are winning.
I hope it makes them 100% more determined and they continue to be great inspite of it.

Yes. It is MAGA stuff and nobody is stopping it!

I'm not a golf fan, but my husband is, so he keeps feeding me bits about what's going on "an absolute disgrace" allegedly. shock

My DS is going today with colleagues. They are wearing kilts, this thread has me anxious. 😱

Dh and I were quite saddened as we watched the players being heckled, abused and shouted at.
Someone has to do something about this as it’s very unsettling to watch. Imagine what it’s like to be there, . How the players can concentrate on their game I have no idea!

I am shocked and horrified at the abuse being hurled at the Europeans by the American spectators at the Ryder Cup. It really shows up the childish behaviour probably instigated by Trumps presence.
Is this how to make America great again?
