US misses Cup opportunity
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Understandably, the US Davis Cup tennis team does not have the heart to play a World Group qualifying round tie against India in North Carolina next weekend, and the match has been postponed for a month. But it seems that America's golfers may have missed an opportunity by postponing next week's Ryder Cup contest at The Belfry for a year. A visit to Britain in the current circumstances may have been an uplifting experience. Forget the odd fluffed tee-shot or missed putt and the philosophy that winning is everything. Chances are the Americans would have been treated to roars of approval here simply for taking part, and the show of moral support would most likely have percolated back home.
