I am almost speechless after reading Mark Madden’s column “Money always wins, and the PGA did what was best for golf” (June 7, TribLIVE). I say almost speechless, because my anger and indignation are more overwhelming right now.
Madden’s disgusting show of avarice and lack of any moral or ethical character is appalling, as is his advice to “kids” to “always take the money.” I can only imagine what his advice would be if a woman from his family was denied an education, or someone in his family was arrested, tortured, tried in a kangaroo court, and sentenced to 20 years in a Saudi prison.
He is a contributor to the downfall of humanity, and all for a simple game of golf. There are many more worthy causes for one to champion. Deeply disappointing.
