Loyalty should never demand reward. Loyalty itself is the reward. Else it’s just prostitution by another name. (This thought inspired by golf)

    I think is referring to how a certain golf entity (league, tournament, company, I don’t remember exactly) asked golfers associated with them to not also play in a certain Saudi Arabia sponsored league, for which they would have been pretty well paid. Their reasoning was that their golfers should be “loyal” to who they were playing for, and their golfers agreed. This year that league decided “You know what we should do? We should partner with that Saudi Arabia league, and get paid handsomely for it”. Their golfers have rightly pointed out the hypocrisy.

      Would you remain loyal to someone or some entity that betrayed your trust like that? Or would a massive payday make everything OK? If being lied to and being paid off makes it better, is that loyalty? If my loyalty is abused, it doesn’t get sold to the highest bidder. It’s gone.

        Not looking to debate about the situation. Just trying to explain the connection between your post and golf
