    They allowed capitalists to win and they bought golf.

    That’s the capitalists:

    The tragic paradox is that for the most part the people who care about sport do not own it and the people who own it do not seem to care for it at all. It is of no consequence to Saudi Arabia whether or not you like golf. Eventually, it will find the thing you do like and your views will not be of interest to them. No, they will not be taking questions. No, you will not be kept up to date on progress. As ever, you will find out what’s happening whenever it decides you need to know.

    And if you think “I don’t care about golf, no loss” they already have bought all kinds of other tournaments including e-sport.
