Frank Isola and Mina Kimes talk about how LIV is trying to find talent. There is a time and a place for it.
While pushing back at what he called "selective outrage" towards the Saudi funded series, Charles Barkley acknowledged meeting with Greg Norman about a possible broadcasting role.
The Basketball Hall of Famer told the New York Post that it would need to be very lucrative for him to walk away from his reported eight-figure income as an NBA commentator and spokesman for multiple companies.
In a perfect scenario, I would love to do both, according to the Post. I'm not sure how Turner's sponsors will feel about it. There will be some blowback.
Reports of his meeting with Norman have prompted multiple sponsors to contact him. The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia has a relationship with LIV Golf. Human rights abuses and the murder of a journalist have been accusations against the Saudi government.
They checked in with me. "What I told Subway, Capital One and Dick's, I said, 'Wait a second.' I have yet to sign anything. I haven't spoken to him. Let's allow this thing to play out before you start calling me upset.
The idea that LIV golfers were taking blood money from Saudi Arabia was dismissed by the man.
I toldNorman that they were making up words. "We have all taken blood money, and we all have sportswashed something, so I don't like those words."
If you're in pro sports, you're taking money from not a good cause.
The pro-am at the next LIV Golf event will be hosted by Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey.
He is the second person this week to be linked with a possible jump to LIV to work as a broadcasters. The Post reported Monday that David Feherty is leaving NBC and is expected to join the independent tour as an analyst.
