Second banner for Tiger flown over Augusta National

[Hosnon]

The title is misleading, the banners are not in support of him.

Here's a photo of the first:



Has the world gone mad? This is "kick him while he's down" in hyperdrive.

As a lifelong Augustan, I'm mostly surprised by Billy Payne's little presser yesterday. I never thought the National would stoop so low and join in on the dogpile. The ANGC certainly ceded any moral high-ground it may have had...

1. Cowards...hope he wins and gives them the middle finger

[JonLP24]

2. He's doing alright so far

-3 last I saw.

[Hosnon]

6. Me too. I've never been a fan (not much of a sports person) but now I really want him to win. nt.

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

7. Literally, I hope he flips the cameras of and tells people to fuck off.

[SoxFan]

14. Hope he gets his ass kicked

A guy who cheats on his wife with a dozen skanks deserves not a sliver of sympathy. This pampered, entitled little prick needs a good ass-kicking.

[WeDidIt]

3. Before I clicked on this thread, I didn't give much of a shit about Tiger

Now, I hope he kicks ass in the Masters and wins.

5. +1,000 n/t

[WeDidIt]

11. I was on a beach in Chicago summer of 1998

when a plane flew over with an "Impeach Clinton" banner.

I get pissed off at plane banners now.

Fuck 'em.

[malaise]

29. The worst thing haters can do to a great sportsman

is wind him up.

[Ian David]

4. No One Died When Tiger Lied. n/t

[NotThisTime]

8. Thank you, this point seems to be lost... HE DIDN'T KILL ANYONE...

[Hosnon]

9. Or do anything to anybody outside of his family and close friends. nt.

[cbdo2007]

10. Or do anything many of our own friends/family/associates have done

that we probably overlook because they are friends or for whatever reason.

I work with a girl who cheated on her husband who even insists that Tiger Woods is an asshole and won't drop it.

[alarimer]

25. So? He's still a fucking piece of shit who deserves (at least) ostracism.

Some spoiled rich asshole who treats his family like shit does not deserve anything.

[REP]

12. Poor widdle millionaire! Are they disturbing him while he's playing his game?

:cry:

[SoxFan]

15. Thank you!

He's a spoiled, unfaithful douchenozzle, but people here are running to his defense? Jeeeeeezus...

[MrCoffee]

16. He's -2. They're doing a piss poor job of it.

I hope he wins by 10.

[REP]

17. I hope he scores a homerun!

[MrCoffee]

19. In other words, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Thanks for playing.

[Supersedeas]

20. Cheerleading ain't about ideas.

[REP]

31. Oh, so close but still a swing and a miss

Just funny to see so many rushing to defend a multi-millionaire who plays a game for a living. Looks like that puts you in the rough.

[pecwae]

21. I'd like to see a touchdown!

[JonLP24]

22. He's back to -3

Nearly had two eagles in one round for the first time in his career at the Masters.

[malaise]

32. Now -4 after 16

Do not anger a tiger.
His private life is none of my business, but I love his golf.

[devilgrrl]

13. I think Tiger Woods is a total cad but what grade are these people in?

:crazy:

[Egnever]

18. Seriously who cares?

[tularetom]

23. Mr Payne may want to consider why people are flocking to his crummy snobatorium this week

I'm one of those who didn't give a rats ass about Tiger Woods until assholes like Payne piled on him.

He of course realizes that without Woods his little tournament would be barely breaking even.

Some boring baby faced white guy or an Asian nobody ever heard of would win and the ratings on Sunday would be in the shitter.

Whatever else I might think about Tiger, without him, golf is more tedious than watching paint dry.

[Hosnon]

36. I'm with you on this but can assure you they don't care about breaking even.

Money is very far down on their list of concerns (see, Martha Burke episode).

[alarimer]

24. I hope this pig is hounded his entire life.

I wish his wife would take him to the cleaners.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. These Attacks Will Only Turn Him Into A Sympathetic Character

~

[emulatorloo]

27. I guess I am evil, I find that Buddism/Bootyism joke on Tiger funny.

But I am pretty much tired of the whole side-show.

[metapunditedgy]

28. It's bullshit that Tiger makes millions (billions?) in sponsorship money and sells stupid products

with his name. I don't care about his personal life, but as a brand, I have no more sympathy for him than I do for the "catholic church" brand or "coca-cola."

[malaise]

33. To quote McEnroe

You cannot be serious!

[metapunditedgy]

35. I'm very serious. His personal life is his own business, but I hope nobody ever makes another penny

off his name.

[BuckeyeX]

30. Billy Payne & Tiger

For awhile Tiger wasn't black he was green. Now, with some of the money boys not supporting him anymore he has gone back to being seen as black. Billy Payne is waiting for the Great White Hope to come along: Ernie Els, Mickelson, Watson, Westwood, Couples, take your pick. I heard Johnny Miller make a comment a couple of months ago about Tiger and this just wasn't what golf people did. Sure it is, there just haven't been caught, along with doping, in particular, beta-blockers to steady the nerves while putting.

[MicaelS]

34. To quote Al Czernick,

"Hey, I'll buy up your crummy snobatorium and build condos on it."

And homeless shelters, and low-income housing and apartment complexes.

Every single FUCKING golf course on the the planet. If I could.
