I'm disappointed he's not playing in his own tournament this weekend.

The majority of casual fans only watch because of him. If he's not in the tournament, ticket sales and TV ratings will suffer. I think he should have played. Whether he finishes first or last, people want to see Tiger golf.

He's done enough...

Send him to stud....oh, well, I guess that's what this is all about

Before this, I think he could of gotten himself elected President someday. You're talking about a sport that relies on people being honest. He's not doing it. He just let about 300 million (in this country alone) know that you can get away with lying to the police. Face it, he's probably our most favorite American Person. Just look at what 2 or 3 on here routinely keep saying about him. He could do about anything, n' they'd be cool with it. He's probably someone they really, really like. If they saw him lie about that accident, don't you think their attitude about lying to the police has changed a bit? "Ends justifies the means" just hit one out of the park. Also, I don't agree that you don't care. Anybody who keeps coming into a thread is interested in the subject matter. If you want someone to stop writing about a subject, then you care a lot about that subject. Don't try to intimidate me like you n' Danzig just did. I'm not writing about you. I'm writing about the subject. You didn't even bring in a subject like "celebrity news shows" etc. No, you asked me a personal question that you hoped would make me stop writing. I answered it, but I'd appreciate it if you two would use your efforts to support a position, and not just try to stop someone from writing.


I'm not sure how getting a fair shake owning horses is related to Tiger lying?

OK..maybe I'm different, but I think athletes, "celebrities", etc should not be looked up to, put on a pedestle, etc. So if think it's only fair that if I see Tiger Woods in an airport and could care less, or have someone "famous" on my flight and could care less, that if he has marital issues, it's no one's business but their's and the laws if he breaks one. Kids should look at Doctors, scientists, authors as role models..not athletes and especially not actors or celebrities. But that's certainly an IMO, but since you sorta' asked..

I almost feel bad for him.....but he has no one to blame but himself.

What an idiot!

No, this is not some Euro country that encourages looking out for one another. We may want it to be, but it's not. It's about the dollar. Even health care is about the dollar. Seems to be the way people here want it to be. So, they are gunna look up to those making the dollars. The guy started a big charity to help kids. It's not like he hides from kids. He's a lot of kids' role model. He makes a lot of money. He has his own line of stuff that companies want people to buy (video games, clothing, cars, golf equipment, shaving crap.) Those are American role models. Not some research scientist in debt. Not a teacher. People who make the most money (and the public knows about) are the role models in a country that's this Capitalistic. Poor kids look up to them. Middle Class kids look up to them. Rich Kids look up to them. That's America. Like it or not. That's what this form of Capitalism creates. If they see El Tigre getting away with lying about an accident, then a whole lot of kids just learned it's kool to try to do the same thing.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that it shouldn't. Then when crap like this goes down, it wouldn't be a big deal

I don't feel the least bit bad for him. Cheating shows an extreme lack of character. Weak.

Of course it shouldn't be this way. We have a very extreme form of Capitalism here. That's the main reason this guy is a role model here.

You're not different. The fascination with celebrities and their personal lives is something I've never understood.

BTW, for role models, kids should look to their parents first. Hopefully, their parents will not let them down.

Of course, my 11 year old daughter being captivated by Edward doesn't count..god help me

2Hot4TV 12-02-2009 08:07 AM

Now that we know his wife kicked his a s s and he couldn't face the media, do you think we will still hear his fans scream "You D Man" when he tee's off ?

Really who is Tiger Woods going to intimadate on the golf coarse now?

I always thought that his Tiger Woods logo sucked, its like a childs crayon drawing.

He's not good on drying-out greens.

randallscott35 12-02-2009 09:24 AM

Even more. Still think he's bright Kev?

He also apparently put something out on his website about transgressions and letting his family down.

Tiger = FAIL

Sightseek 12-02-2009 09:27 AM
