I watch PGA golf tournaments, more than NFL. NBA or MLB games for many reasons but one most of all - its about the sport, not egos, not politics, not ethnic identities, not bad manners, not lack of sportsmanship, not showing off your bragging rights either in spite of many great accomplishments. I like golf more than other sports because more than other sports I enjoy and like most all the players, as persons.

I have a hard time finding personal fault with any of the players whether they are top ranked or not. There are far too many players in all the other major sports I cannot say that about.

With one exception. Michael Jordan, of NBA fame.

Michael is a real gentleman, and golfer, an avid PGA follower, knows and has played with many well known PGA golfers, attends many PGA Tournaments and has attended most President’s Cup and Ryder Cup tournaments for years, rooting for his country’s team. There he was again this year at the Ryder Cup, rooting for his country’s team and supporting the many players he knows personally.

Michael is a real gentleman,

He probably is but also a prolific gambler, thus his early retirement from basketball to play minor league baseball.

Then after the heat died down, he decided to return to the NBA.........
