There’s a great line the United States Golf Association would use when people would complain about the difficulty of U.S. Open courses.
The U.S. Open does not penalize great golfers. It identifies them.
I thought of that when I heard the story of the Garth Brooks/Barry Sanders/Bernie Sanders controversy.
Social media, for all its many ills and its few redeeming qualities, identifies idiots.
Brooks last weekend took his country-music tour to Detroit’s Ford Field, where more than 70,000 fans assembled, pleased to know that worst-case scenario, the Lions were not going to lose. Brooks, a marketer of the highest order but also a loyalist, selected wardrobe that was true to himself and played well to the masses.
