I think that's big enough for it's own video

Ok

In a few months you can check and see how the view count compares to the rest of Wendover's videos.

@@tomsko863 I feel a decent title/thumbnail combo would make this a lot more popular. I clicked on it because it is Wendover and knew it would be high quality, but this is definitely a lot bigger than just a 'golf' video.

This is definitely beyond just golf. The primary is Saudi propaganda campaign and how they’re doing it. This is just the first and most apparent example

I don't give a crap about golf, but I do care about what Saudi Arabia is doing. Usually whatever Saudi Arabia is doing is what you would expect a bunch of out of touch rich people to do. It's fun to watch (although a little scary knowing that a nation with this human rights record is getting footholds in so many industries)

This is all part of Wendover Productions's plan to conquer sports. Watch out, Prince Mohammed. Sam Denby is going to be the next big kingpin.

16:04 is United Kingdom and UK not the same thing ?

Evolution offers humanity a future as dirt, why would anyone want to see that proven true? God does not owe us any more evidence. He demonstrated his creative power and genius to all mankind by making this gigantic planet full of amazing creatures on which he has placed us. We live here with the clear knowledge that our stay is temporary. Also, No one is wondering what God requires from us. He requires us to do what is right. He placed a conscience in our minds which clearly warns us before we take wicked actions/make selfish choices. He offers us mercy for sins(the times when we have violated that conscience.) Surrender while you can.

How do you get to hell? Very simple: claim that you're innocent. How do you get to heaven? Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy. How to know if you're guilty or not? Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible. Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die." That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A. You die for your own sins. Option B. Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died on the cross for you. ❤ *Honest questions are welcome.*

i just came to shit directly on the golf... so you are wrong, didnt' finish 1 minute video.

I've seen those stories as well. Make vlogs, travel vlogs (same thing kinda), post stories that youre visiting, take videos on a yacht etc etc. Disgusting in my opinion but money rules...

Why the hell are y’all so sad about it?? It’s called PR and marketing?? If Louis Vuitton or any other brand paid some actors/models/whatever to advertise would you be sad about that?? It’s literally marketing, if that upsets you then idk what to tell you

@@anonymousejones8742 Nobody would advocate for Saudi regime if it wasn't for oil money, let's be honest. There are people who are genuinely interested in a product, and people who have no connection to it. Saudi has no golfing tradition as well.

What is so corrupt if their photos are real and not staged? I would love a sponsored and paid tour to SA, specially if my photos can be real

@@dr.woozie7500 They may not willingly advocate for SA, but surely they would advocate for the fancy things they were treated to while at SA, yea?

The first thing I thought about it is how the NBA treated the Hong Kong situation. It was China influencing the NBA not the other way around.

I'd argue that the WTO was the right move because of the fact that China was going to push into becoming a global economic power with or without the blessing of the US, and this gives the US and many EU nations more of a say in just how fairly international trade is conducted. Had they not, 20 years down the road it's likely that China is the dominant, if not exclusive, trading partner for nearly every country south of the Equator, and many of them now in major debt or forced into deals hosting Chinese military outposts.

What is the ‘situation’ in China? Kicking out the thieving Brits who stole the island because they wanted to import opium into China?

Well it's a more general thing, we've created a system where everything in the west can be bought and sold if you have enough money, and politicians care more about helping their business partners hide money, evade taxes and protect assets than national security which of course dictators and oligarchs take advantage of.

@timetodestination,The major difference is that it actually did work on some countries back then so China joining WTO in order to improve human rights had some merits. But now we see autocrats not budging so PGA of course is finding an excuse. We already know from the past 20 years that autocrats no longer change. Now, it still works on occasion but it has to be countries/govts that require support from international organization. Saudi Arabia & Russia primarly export natural resources thus they can find buyers ANYWHERE in the world. And China has such a big domestic market that the international community also needs them.

I like sam I watch all his channels even subscribed to nebula but when it comes to Saudi Arabia he just gets it 80 correct 20 wrong and that's makes allot of different it feels like just bashing some wierd shit

what about frances ongoing financial and military colonialism in west africa, is that sportswashing if france particaptes in sports or is it sportswashing only when non western countries that do it? possibly nothing more than a superiority complex of the highest order

@@RealFahimReza Calm down, Fahim. The Saudi paycheck is already on its way. France has had a history of international sport before the modern era, they have never systematically bought entire sports clubs, so by definition it can't be sportswashing.

Funny part is golf nations are the biggest investers in renewable energy

@@farhadali7707Not for the sake of golf.

Do you really believe that the current state of technology of renewable energy is aiming at anything else other than PROFIT? Do you really believe that electric cars solve the problem of air pollution ON PLANET? Or that we will be able to produce enough batteries, solar power plants, wind generators, etc. to achieve green agenda goals ? I am afraid that business is also just investors' greed with no intention to help the world.

Males = true gold diggers

Dune is largely based off of the oil kingdoms of the gulf! Herbert even said so himself.

@@aalokjoshi6839 More specifically - remember, he was writing Dune in the 60s - western exploitation and colonial oppression of the middle-east.

@@watchm4ker There's also a great deal based on the Russian conquest of the Caucasus region a century prior, including the Fremen's love for knives, and the notion that killing the point lacks artistry. Herbert's central inspiration came from Lesley Blanch's The Sabres of Paradise, which is a masterful epic about the warrior Shamyl's struggle against the Tsar's armies and his quest to unify the warring tribes of Dagestan and beyond

Refreshing change from the usual Western bots

Definetly not bots with broken English that the people in the replies somehow understood.

Yall are genuinely silly, no wonder you're all so ignorant about how Saudi actually is. When it's population tells you what it's actually like, yall just dismiss it as "lol bot accounts xd".

Or... maybe people are perfectly fine with the notion of supporting a evil regime? Specially when money is being sponsored to those entertainers featured? This is business, no?

@@John_Smith_86nah oil money bots are here

The Saudis will invite Sam because they want to give him the Khashoggi special.

It's Florida...they're on track to be just like their partners in Saudi...lol

The Saudi track is a joke, so no big loss

That's going to be a "Locked Up Abroad"

Esports is much, much cheaper to buy them traditional sports, the gulf states love video game (no joke gaming is huge there), and it’s because individual members just like video games and want to invest in video games.

E sports is declining anyways, unlike normal sports it’s very hard to advertise to normal people who have no interest in gaming. I mean how hard Is it to consider that most people won’t really be interested in watching a bunch of nerd smash their keys on keyboard for entertainment.

@@davidvaxo6667 the industry is growing and is still projected to grow

@@iagree4686 growing doesn’t mean sustainable, major leagues are going bankrupt and e sports players are asking for millions while not creating all that much profit or viewership. It’s a stereotypical dying niche that has almost finished up it investor’s funds.

@@gus29361 For one, Qatar isn't Saudi, and for another, most immigrant workers here get money enough to provide for their entire family back home, they're not forced to come here, if they want to leave they can, and those who aren't or can't, it's not legal and whoever is doing that to them would be liable to serious punishment.

@@AmyDentata I'm a regular ass dude man, what the fuck do you mean.

Look at what they've done with Newcastle United & the players they've brought into the Saudi domestic league ⚽

In the United States it’s funny how many people are supposedly Anti-Shariah law but yet support laws that are basically Christianity’s version of it. And then there are those who just straight show you their hand by what countries they deal with and what laws they support and what they’ll turn a blind eye to. It’s kinda like stopping terrorism by suspending all flights except for the private plane getting the Bin Laden family out of the US. Or making your first presidential visit to Saudi Arabia. Wait gotta think of an example for the left or else I’ll be biased…or NAFTA…there we go.

Woah-woah-woah! That would make America *the bad guys,* or at the very least *morally ambiguous* in comparison to other sovereign states! And True Americans™ *know* that America™ can do no wrong! Saying otherwise is Socialist/Communist action and would force True Americans™ to fund and arm a fundamentalist, ultra-conservative insurgency against you that will definitely not backfire on America™ the moment said insurgency accomplishes its goals!

Their goal is to play you for a sucker.

If you wont pump enough energy domestically or use the Canadian tar sands, you are going to be buying Saudi oil, especially after you wont buy Iranian, Venezuelan, or Russian crude.

@@briangasser973 oil is an international commodity. There are many producers and almost everyone is a buyer. It means you aren't necessarily buying Saudi Oil but you are effected by Saudi oil

Your oil? Last I checked the oil we have comes from our own land.

@@Nawaf-qk9muyeah, I could have phrased that joke better. Updating to oil [markets]

@@baahcusegamer4530 If you don't want people to control certain parts of the market, maybe don't control all of international trade? Don't force us to live next to a neighbour who has no business being there. Don't force us to sit by while you invade our brothers in Iraq. Don't control who we trade with and who we don't?

Racist, why don't ya go into TV and justify the 1 million killed in Iraq by American invasions? Or the genocide against native Americans? OR the enslavement of Africans? Americans have built their country on blood, slavery and exploitation has no right to question Saudi Arabia who got blessed with oil and didn't colonize/slaughter faraway people.

Explain how they support a government that regularly bombs civilians and children, albeit through a proxy.

Are you saying one dead journalist affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood is worse than the illegal occupation, invasion and theft of resources of Iraq by the US which resulted in the death of a million innocent lives, a large portion of which are.. journalists?

I hate to say it but democratic islamic country will never be tourist friendly especially in Saudi region. MBS dictator ship have overnight changed Saudi society with no resistance like in allowing woman to drive or changing Guardianship laws

⁠@@sorryi6685the other gulf states have massive amount of tourism. It’s more of a Saudi Arabia problem.
