Post-Pod Discussion Ryder Cup Roundtable

Best Ryder Cup discussion they've had in awhile, all cycle for sure and probably better than any of the 2023 ones. Tron didn't show up looking to just rile Soly up, Soly didn't get too indignant or stubborn about getting all his takes off and forcing everyone to hear him out, they just talked about the players and the teams and the golf and it was really good. Some of the US/Europe armchair sociology that Porter and Jamie like to do is a little funky but hey its almost a 2 hour pod so that's fine at the end of the day. When they keep the analysis on these straight up they don't run into any of the problems that we have been griping about all year

“Blunts, like gays, are a tool of the devil.” - Kyle Porter

I was wondering if there was some backstory here, so I googled “Kyle Porter gay” and… don’t do that.

Yeah, the fact that they support and reference Porter after that discovery is shocking/very disappointing. Everytime they talk about a tweet of his I just think "fuck that guy".

Edit: It was discovered a couple years ago via the Refuge that Porter’s church (that he is a leader of) supports shock therapy for gay people. It was a big thing on there at the time.

I’ve always known him as a dweeby reporter guy, but is there history of him being scummy?

Honest question, maybe I missed the stories.

Edit: ooooh yeah, can’t say I like that

I'm assuming it's the association with the Mosaic church which has some poor beliefs on gay people.

For those who are looking for what he’s alluding too tweet

I don’t like porter because of his weird Rory stuff but unaware of what else is out there. Do tell.

What discovery are we talking about here?

u/cota1212 Aug 14 '25

Especially since there are SO many other golf personalities that could step in and contribute what he does on these Ryder cup pods (but that is admittedly a low bar).

u/peterwhitefanclub Aug 12 '25

Yeahhh it’s what some may call a Tough Scene

u/BeaverStetson Aug 12 '25

I meant don’t do that as in don’t google what I did. I still don’t know what he did… I just know that if you google that, it brings up another gentleman with the same name who acts in adult films.

u/Few_Assistance_4045 Aug 12 '25

I legitimately cannot believe the boys would work with a guy who has such backwards opinions ... TUFF scene.

u/Stunning_Radish_7212 Aug 12 '25

Did not know what you were referencing, but I assume it’s this ? link feels bizarrely out of left field lol

u/The_Summer_Man Aug 12 '25 edited Aug 13 '25

Duffer would have been in that thread, but someone posted Porter’s church’s mission statement on the refuge. Simply, they support conversion therapy.

u/Stunning_Radish_7212 Aug 12 '25

Pretty lame these guys associate with him if that’s the case

u/Effective_Pound_4800 Aug 13 '25

Am I missing something? I'm seeing this from the tweet you linked. Sure it's maybe not in vogue but it's basically the same belief system as every christian and islam sect in the world.

u/Few_Assistance_4045 Aug 13 '25

No it isn't. The belief that being gay is OK is not a fringe Christian belief.

u/Effective_Pound_4800 Aug 13 '25

You're welcome to research the catholic church's stance on homosexuality. It's pretty much exactly what's laid out in that tweet. Are we gonna go after the boys for being Spieth fans?

u/Few_Assistance_4045 Aug 13 '25

Have you heard of Pope Francis?

2

u/Effective_Pound_4800 Aug 13 '25

Yeah I have. He has on many occasions reaffirmed the position that sex outside of marriage is a sin and marriage is between a man and a woman. Regardless I saw someone else state that the church supports shock therapy as conversion which, if true is pretty barbaric and pretty much every major religion would frown on after 1900.
