My Last Post About Tiger Woods

[DemocratSinceBirth]

If his serial adultery is a private affair between him and Elin and we are scolds or voyeurs for discussing it what's the point of this commercial?

[wtmusic]

1. He's profiting from the publicity. That's the point. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. I Could Give A Rat's Ass About His Serial Infidelity- That's Between Him And His Wife And His Maker

But all this "Leave Tiger Alone" and "It's none of your business" diatribes ring hollow in light of this commercial.

[wtmusic]

8. Not to mention, there's something very distasteful about using his deceased father's

voice in this context.

Tiger - play golf and STFU.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. It's Creepy

It's video necrophillia.

[Supersedeas]

30. the adultery is bt him and his wife; the distastful ad is bt him and his accountant

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. The Video Is In The Public Domain And Him And His Enablers Put It There

[Supersedeas]

35. so blame the enablers, Tiger's just collecting a check for golf winnings and ads

It's not a crime to collect a paycheck.

Sports fans just want to see 'their' guy play well. Like bowling enthusiasts, who worship the way a pro can spin a ball and make it roll just so. Nothing else matters. The ball is all.

[closeupready]

10. Completely agree with you. Every single word.

+100

3. Just how many types of whoring is this guy capable of?

Attention whoring... check. Sympathy whoring... check. Whoring... check. Whoring some more... check... etc.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. His Worth As A Person Is Inversely Related To His Skill As A Golfer

~

[JuniperLea]

6. Well said... did he meet the Devil at the crossroads...

With a golf club instead of a guitar? I wonder... :)

[tridim]

5. I just think it's hilarious that Tom Watson is leading the Masters.

:rofl:

[Solomon]

39. Why? You obviously don't watch much golf.

If you notice, almost every year some old geezer has a good first round and jumps out near the front. They make a story out of it until the next day when he falls back to earth, then they find another story on the course.

I wouldn't call it "leading" on the first day. They have three more rounds to go.

[tridim]

41. You're right, I don't watch much golf.

Last time I watched Watson play was sometime in the early 80's.

[MineralMan]

7. Is that a promise or YATWOP?

[RelativelyJones]

9. The only thing more irritating than Tiger

Are those people crying crocadile tears over his poor, poor vicitimized wife, who is laughing all the way to the bank.

[closeupready]

11. She's going to end up a very, very VERY rich woman.

If you meet her one day, be nice to her. :D

[Kalyke]

18. Adultery is abuse.

And she deserves sympathy. Money cannot buy her security in her next relationship.

That said: I hope she takes him to the cleaners.

[Fire1]

21. He can afford it. n/t

[Fire1]

13. I don't really care about the comercial or his infidelity. I just

hope he KICKS ASS at the masters!!!!:bounce:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Would You Root For Sarah Palin If She Was A Scratch Golfer?

~

[Fire1]

16. What's a "scratch golfer?" n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. In common usage, a golfer who shoots par or better.

~

[Fire1]

22. Ok. No, I wouldn't root for Palin for dog catcher. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. LOL

[SB37]

15. Amen Buddy -

He's the best athlete in his sport in our generation. I love to watch him play - just awesome.

Uh... and oh - he cheated on his wife? Gee, what a shame...

[Fire1]

17. True dat and welcome! n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. The Point Flew Right Over Your Head

He begs for privacy while hypocritically exploiting the situation in a commercial.

[SB37]

26. Nope - I got the point

I just don't care.

What a friggin' revelation - an athlete / entertainer is of low moral character. That's some pretty outrageous stuff right there.

Are you a fan of Brad Pitt? Bill Clinton? Tom Hanks? The list goes on and on and on...

I personally just don't care who they sleep with or how they try to cover it up. I just enjoy watching them perform.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. Are you a fan of Brad Pitt? Bill Clinton? Tom Hanks?

They didn't hold themselves out as family men while practicing serial adultery. It's the hypocrisy not the infidelity.


"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true."

-Nathaniel Hawthorne

[Fire1]

37. It goes without saying that the POTUS would be held to a higher

standard. So, yes, Clinton did put himself out there as a "family man." Didn't make any difference to me, though. He's still the man!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. Nobody Voted For Clinton Because He Was A Good Husband

~

[JonLP24]

43. Nobody watches golf to see Tiger because he is a good husband

[Fire1]

50. THANK YOU!!! Slam Dunk! Or should I say, Hole in one!! LOL!

[Kalyke]

23. So being a great athlete excuses his lack of character?

:eyes:

And the greatest athlete of our generation is Peyton Manning, who, AFAIK, does NOT cheat on Ashley (despite the Indiana rumor mill).

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. He Can Have Any Kind Of Character He Wants

It's the fact that he held himself out as a family man and devoted husband while practicing serial adultery that is galling. And now he publicizing his peccadilloes after begging for privacy.

[JonLP24]

28. I just want to see him golf

I don't care about his personal life any more than I care about the local Circle K clerk's life.

Tiger has been doing what he has been doing longer than Manning, plus he was voted on by sportswriters as athlete as a decade.

Anyways Manning may have never cheated but him and the University of Tennessee settled a sexual harassment lawsuit with an assistant athletic trainer who accused Manning of dropping his pants while she went down to examine his foot. Woods has yet to settle or lose any sexual harassment lawsuits so I wouldn't bring up Manning as some kind of example while attacking Woods character. I also admire the way Peyton plays football and I have no problems saying he'll likely go down as the greatest QB ever just like Tiger will when it comes to golf.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. If His Personal Life Is Private Why Is He Publicizing It In A Commercial

~

[JonLP24]

31. I don't care about his commercials either

[closeupready]

52. In America, athletes are demi-gods, and I'm only half-joking.

And it's repulsive and neanderthalish.

[Supersedeas]

34. Like hardcore bowling fans, the position of the rolling ball is ALL that matters to

narrow-minded sports enthusiasts.

[spanone]

32. he's a golfer, who cares.

[Fire1]

38. And a damn good one. +1 n/t

[proteus_lives]

36. Too bad Tiger puts himself in the public spotlight. He must deal with the negative side as well.

[Solomon]

42. You know I'm really starting to enjoy watching you

moan and groan about Tiger.

The more you moan and groan, the more surreal it gets. Thread after thread.

I didn't care as much before, but the more I hear people moan and groan about Tiger, as though he committed a crime, the more I hope he kicks ass.

I think you're enjoying your pain too. If you want more misery to groan about, turn to the golf channel and watch Tiger's interview after the round. Whoooeee I'd like to be in the room watching you watch that. LOL

[JonLP24]

44. That's exactly how I feel

I rooted for Tiger the first time ever today for those same reasons.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

46. I Made Three Threads Today About Tiger Woods Compared To The Five Or Six I Made About Teabaggers.

It just so happened the Tiger ones keep getting bumped.

And I'm juat killin time listening to classic Tupac, Ice Cube, and the Geto Boys while I'm posting here. I'm listening to "No Vaseline" now. Just classic...

Golf bores me to tears almost as much as NECKCAR.

PEACE

49. The approach shot on the 9th was nothing short of phenomenal.

Tiger is on an entirely different plane.

[Fire1]

51. Did you SEE THAT SHIT!!!!! LOL!!! n/t

[wtmusic]

53. I think you have to play to appreciate why a high hook

is one of the hardest shots in golf. And to put it 5 ft from the pin? For a weekend golfer, that's a 1 in 5000 play.

Tiger pulls them off routinely.

[Fire1]

54. Tell me about it. That's out of my repertoire. n/t

[Forkboy]

55. I'm totally rooting for him this week.

Don't even like the guy, but the potential for DU hilarity is too enormous not to get excited about. ;)

[tammywammy]

45. Wait...yeah, I still don't care about Tiger Woods' adultery. n/t

[Egnever]

47. And yet you post over and over about him in this thread

One would think you were one of his sex partners or something the way you seem to take this so personally.


I dont care who Jenifer Aniston sleeps with nor do I care about Tiger Woods. Oh and get this I dont care who you sleep with either.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

48. I Was One Of His Sex Partners. Don't Tell Anybody

I only responded to people who challenged me. But you're right. I should have used the word thread and not post.



on edit- that's how the thread gets bumped
