Yep. It really is.  
It is sick.  
We have farmers striking over stupid green policies and we’ve had two weeks of articles about how a millionaire can fly from Tokyo to Vegas to watch a sports game and get laid.

It is huge news

I’m just pissed off that they started throwing money around after I left the ME.  
Sure I was headhunted for a job in Riyadh just before Covid hit but they didn’t have the executive sponsorship they needed and I am sure even without Covid they’d have gone pop inside a year, but guys getting expenses to go and teach their tournament staff sigh…

I’ll have you know I actually made it to a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Semi Final.  
Genuine, official, globally recognised no less.  
I was ONE move away from making it.  
But I called Setffi and it was Eight.

Never played Spoof since but we coulda got the Saudis to sponsor it - I coulda qualified
