I don't think it's corruption. I thought I made that clear enough. Listen we ALL know what is going on, from LIV to this. These people, organizations, institutions, clubs and individuals, do what they do... for money, same as anybody. That isn't corruption in my book. I think of it like this, you have two burgers to make, same burger, same toppings, whatever, identical. One pays YOU $2, the other pays YOU $40, which do you chose to make? Did you read my original (now extremely downvoted) post?

The definition of corruption is doing the wrong thing for money. You’re purposely glossing over the fact that Qatar should not have been given the bid were it not for bribery. The only way your analogy works is if the $40 burger was made with slave labor and thousands of people died in the process.

Just because something is done for money doesn’t mean it’s ok. By your definition corruption wouldn’t exist in any circumstance.

Corruption does exist, I wasn't trying to say it doesn't. I was just saying I don't think this is it. People are upset at golfers for this same thing. However, they are also making 5 years winnings in months, do you think they did it for the money? Or to make a stand for corruption, human rights violations, media profiles, product placement? Ukranians are dropping grenades on sleeping people everyday, thats cool, but, hire somebody to build a building for 60x the wage they could earn at home, that's evil. C'mon.

At some point in time you are gonna have to make sense.
