MEDIA LOSER: David Feherty Broadcaster David Feherty revealed the (frankly, rather basic) reason he left NBC Sports to join the broadcast team behind Saudi-backed LIV Golf. Back in July, it was announced that Feherty would depart from NBC and the Golf Channel, his home for the last seven years, for a new venture with LIV Golf. The reason? "Money." "People don’t talk about it," Feherty told David Briggs of the Toledo Blade. "I hear, ‘Well, it’s to grow the game.’ Bullshit, they paid me a lot of money.” But, Feherty later insisted the move was more than just dollars and cents. He claimed it was a big opportunity to grow his career and be true to himself. Feherty went on to cite cancel culture as a deciding factor, explaining that LIV is “an opportunity to be myself again.” Sure, I guess ... if your true self is someone who overlooks egregious human rights violations in the name of money. “There are people waiting around every corner hoping to be offended by something. Fuck those people," he added. "Our lives are being shaped by small groups of mean-spirited people who have no sense of humor. We’re in danger of losing our national sense of humor because of this.” If Feherty thinks America's woke snowflakes are a group of mean-spirited people compromising the nation, I recommend a quick Google search on Saudi Arabia and the kingdom's crown prince. |
