The world mourns as Queen Elizabeth II peacefully passes away at the age of 96, after ruling the English empire for 70 successful years. Naturally, the queen’s death has deeply affected millions of people; however, the world stops for nothing. 

Yet, there is one thing that faces a halt as a sign of respect and it’s golf. And many fans are not happy about it.

A tweet from golf writer Daniel Rapaport recently went viral and fans are giving all kinds of reactions to it. He tweeted, “Failing to understand how playing a golf tournament would in any way be disrespectful to the passing of a 96-year-old Queen?”

The world knows how BMW PGA Championship saw a sudden halt after the news came out. This led to the “Golf Guy” raising question on the decision.

Golf fans react to the sport’s halt due to the Queen’s death

According to Rapaport, and thousands of other people, the ongoing halt on golf and other sports is not associated with paying respects to the late queen. And a lot of fans (definitely not all of them) are agreeing to his statement and looking for an answer themselves.

While others are clear about the decision of paying respects by halting sports being “ridiculous”.

A fan even tried to bring forward the harsh reality of what is going on. He revealed that it was only the sports industry that was facing a halt. And that all other services including shops, workplaces, and even theatres are fully functional.

A few fans also made fun of the entire country (nothing that we promote). They said that Britain had to be the best at everything, including grieving the queen’s death.

But some are actually reasoning for the decision by giving examples of past tragedies. A fan brought in the sports halt that was imposed right after the unfortunate 9/11 attacks.

Others said that the queen passed away at a certain old age and that people needed to see it coming.

The queen’s demise has been hard to digest for the people of the UK. However, nations across the world are also paying their respects to the queen by half-lowering their flags. But the fans seem more concerned with watching their favorite players perform on the field.
