2. Idolizing people is rarely healthy anyway.
It's a sign that you're not seeing them as real people. :shrug:

And besides, you're right. Who wants to be taking orders from Marketting companies? :(

3. Well, you don't have to follow what marketing companies are asking you to buy, etc.
But you can admire how difficult it is to hit that little white ball all that way to that little cup (try it for yourself if you don't believe how difficult it is) ~ and I say that as a 'non-golfer' who has tried it on a few occasions.

Also, Lance Armstrong ~ admire his come back and achievements, how he's risen above adversity. One can surely disrespect how corporations have hoped to capitalize on his fortitude of his HUMAN spirit. Corporations have no soul/no spirit and their duplicity regarding this is ever evident.

11. It doesn't make sense not to admire Tiger
He's more skilled at golf than any human at any profession. I don't have any reservations declaring that. Obviously it's not a life saving or otherwise vital skill, but phenomenal nonetheless.

I really don't think most people grasp what we're witnessing in Tiger. The guy is in his absolute prime, mastering the most frustrating and diabolical individual sport ever created. Yet so many are content to ignore him.

Centuries from now videos of Tiger's feats will be prized possessions and he will be held in absolute awe. The only way he won't hold every major record for decades/centuries is if he has some type of major accident like Ben Hogan or worse, or if human effective physical peak extends to the point someone can continue winning majors well into their 50s or beyond.
