Both Sides of the Ball

Bo & Farrell React To Unrest In Wisconsin, PGA's Reaction, Tiger Woods Influence

Bo and Farrell react to the response of professional sports to the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. While the NFL, the NBA and WNBA, Major League Baseball and the NHL engaged the moment with boycotts and statements of player solidarity around addressing social justice issues and police brutality, PGA Tour players at the BMW Championship mostly said very little and continued business as usual. The PGA Tour did issue a press release but it wasn't enough for Farrell, who is disappointed that the golfers didn't act en masse as many of the other athletes had in other sports. Bo offers reasons why his colleagues didn't say more and is hopeful that the PGA Tour's legacy of charity will carry over into social justice issues.
