Mark Lye does not use Twitter very much, but he believes a movement on the social media platform led to the firing from his PGA Tour Radio show Sunday by SiriusXM.
“It’s really cancel culture,” Lye said on Tuesday.

Because I just, I couldn’t relate at all. It’s kind of like, you know, if you’re a basketball player — and I’m not trashing anybody; please, don’t take it the wrong way — but I saw some highlights of ladies’ basketball. Man, is there a gun in the house? I’ll shoot myself than watch that.
