Look, the Euros win the Ryder Cup pretty often. But, today's wipeout was an embarrassment even without any jingoistic American rooting.
And, it's not materialistic, because endorsement deals contain escalators for making the team. So, they aren't disinterested because they're competing for "free".
They just aren't focused on the task at hand, and they got smoked.
