Opinion Nothing good happens on social media: Shark to pour petrol on incendiary online debate
: suppose that Greg Norman and the Kingdom of Saud’s globetrotting golf circus intends on pitching camp in Australia some time next year.
And if you’re violently against me on that, then get on social media and start posting your abuse right now. LIV CEO Greg Norman talks with fans at the Bedminster Invitational LIV Golf tournament in New Jersey last month.But my word, wouldn’t Smith quell all of your disquiet if he took even 20 per cent of any signing bonus and donated it to NSW flood relief, or children’s cancer research, or even reincarnating the Tasmanian Tiger .
One can but imagine the views of the social media “jury” about Norman’s character and choice of friends, and Smith’s career options and mullet. But to prove my point, let me deal with another instance of undiluted grubbery. It’s nothing besides mystifying as to why any professional athlete decides it’s an excellent idea to swim in the cesspool of social media. What’s the return on that investment, actually?
