| 1625944327720472583 | In the past, @meg_maclaren took a principled stand saying she wouldn't help the Saudi government “sportswash” its human rights record. Now, she's changed her mind. Saudi's record is still shameful, Meg should not support abusers if the price is high enough.https://t.co/cdV6Hy3yFC | 2 |
| 1625923310356660234 | Strange, isn't it, to discover that human rights values and refusing to be part of sports washing have a price cap, right @@meg_maclaren ? What was yours when you rescinded your pledge not to play in Saudi?https://t.co/zPNlNrm2RO | 2 |
| 1627780052233637888 | @meg_maclaren Doesn’t cut it Meg. You have “betrayed” your principles and should now find it difficult to make a principled stand on this issue going forward. I would | 0 |
| 1626291305662799875 | @golffan123456 @meg_maclaren I'm not equating your personal beliefs as I don't know them? It was a curious question as we could all do more in fighting a range of injustices. | 0 |
| 1626290723245940736 | @golffan123456 @meg_maclaren If we are breaking down Brandels comments.The elected governments of the Western world turn a blind eye to atrocities for money. We elect these bastards and, therefore, complicit. | 0 |
| 1626290442894548992 | @BirdiesBro @meg_maclaren Why are you equating my personal beliefs about western governments, their choices around (presumably) drone strikes and the like, with a golf entity trying to enhance KSA's reputation and wealth? Is the implication that I am prejudiced against middle eastern people? | 0 |
| 1626289687848419328 | @golffan123456 @meg_maclaren Yep...Good point.Can I ask a serious question?Are you so vehemently against the actions of Western governments who are complicit in the slaughter of innocent civilians to suit their own agenda?Or is Saudi different a completely different beast?This is just a question. | 0 |
| 1626286241510576128 | @BirdiesBro @meg_maclaren Sort of comes down to: when KSA has another high profile issue of a woman being oppressed, will she be able to speak out on it? It's not if, it's when. So it will be curious to watch what happens. Same with LIV guys. Hope they all get the questions when MBS has someone murdered. | 0 |

| 1626214460367990785 | @BirdiesBro @JustinBerger15 @meg_maclaren For someone as outspoken as she was I though her comments came across really hypocritical. Actually lost me as a fan a little. Not a Brandel fan either though so I have no dog in this one | 0 |

| 1626130349905289217 | I'm blocked by this muppet so I can't comment.I wonder if he says the same about female golfers, especially after the honesty of @meg_maclaren https://t.co/hd1WleFPMI | 2 |
| 1626569339640979459 | @pfnnewmedia @meg_maclaren All of us who love the LPGA want more. I’m proud of the imperfect but extensive coverage GC gives women’s golf. We have often gone above and beyond contractual obligations. Can we do even better? I think so. | 2 |
