Peak Norman Narcissism: "I’m not sure whether I even have any gay friends, to be honest with you.”

Following a series of interviews to promote the upcoming LIV Golf event outside London, the entity has sought to clarify Commissioner Greg Norman’s various idiotic and ignorant remarks regarding murder. Their statement:
"The killing of Jamal Khashoggi was reprehensible. Everyone agrees on that, including Greg, as he has said as such previously on many occasions. Greg also knows that golf is a force for good around the world and can help make inroads toward positive change. That is why he is so excited about LIV and that was the point he was making."
Clean-up on aisle 4 still needs cleaning up.
Norman was condemned by the widow of Jamal Khashoggi following his wave of interviews. You may recall that the journalist was at the Saudi consulate to get a marriage license when U.S. intelligence believe a team of Crown Prince bin Salman’s detail murdered Khashoggi, dismembered him with a bonesaw and disposed of his remains. From The Telegraph:
"Would you say that if it was your loved one? How can we go forward when those who ordered the murder are still unpunished, and continue to try to buy back their legitimacy?" Ms Cengiz said.
"We should not fall for their wealth and lies, and lose our morals and common humanity.
"We should all be insisting on the truth and justice; only then can we look forward with hope and dignity."
Ms Cengiz's statement was released by her lawyer, Rodney Dixon, the British newspaper reported.
The hits keep on coming, with more of Norman’s comments to a group of journalists getting their chance to settle in. Apparently, Saudi Arabia’s horrendous record on gay rights is not an issue for the Shark because, well, who could imagine this answer.
"I’m not sure whether I even have any gay friends, to be honest with you.”
Next he’ll be saying doesn’t have any friends who were chopped up by a bonesaw so, really, could it have even happened?
He’s now lost Australia’s greatest female golfer:
