I do not "root" for Woods because the media portrays him asa saint. Any misfortune that comes Tigers way, is music to my ears.gsm1988 said:Why are you guys so hard on Tiger? I can understand that you are tired of the constant media worship he receives, but he is by all accounts a decent guy.

PitBull said:That's exactly the point, michiganblkman. When Tiger fades in the final
days, gets ouplyaed in the final round, etc., no mention of "succumbing to
pressure", just a bad day. Rory had a bad day. The fact that all the press
coverage is about him "succumbing to the pressure of Tiger" just proves the
point. What major media outlet made excuses for Sabbatini like they make
for Tiger and Wie? None.
How are the tournaments fixed ?bigunreal said:I know I've broached this subject before, but here goes again. I can't explain how it is possible, but somehow these tournaments are rigged for Woods. Once Sabbatini really spoke out about Woods, you knew that he was going to be defeated. Period. It simply is not possible for any white man to criticize one of the most beloved figures in the history of Don King's America and come out ahead. Can you even picture a triumphant white guy and a sulking black celebrity like Woods, in that kind of situation? Much the same as no celebrated black can ever lose under our injustice system, none of the very rare outspoken white public figures, who dare to oppose someone with the status of a Woods, can ever back his words up. I don't know, maybe they just do become nervous and intimidated, and thus lose to their black opponent. If so, it appears that everyone of them react that way, every time. I tend to believe in conspiracies, so I prefer the "fixed" explanation. Either way, one thing is absolutely certain; until and unless Sabbatini makes some sort of public apology to Woods and starts worshiping him with the same fervor all the other players do, then he will never, ever, in a million years, win a major tournament. In fact, I think it's highly likely that he will now simply disappear off the golf map, never to be heard from again. Just imagine how much it would have bolstered the confidence of untold numbers of white youths, if only he had won.

jaxvid said:Yes Pitbull that's all true but Sabatini got faced. He talked trash then had a chance to back it up and Tiger whupped him. Plain and simple. Worse thing of all is that Tiger has some confidence going into the final major and all the white golfers got a reminder of how to fold in the clutch. I think it was Justin Rose who said, "we're all playing for second place now" and when you think like that---you are.
white is right said:Guys have stepped up in the past. But the problem is they have been playing way above their game to beat Woods. As sainted as Woods is on ESPN, they have shown some warts of his, his pettyness,cheapness and he likes to do gambling junkets. Granted by todays athletes standards he is a "saint", but I have noticed these imperfections. I just don't care for golf and the pushing of the sport as a real athletic endevour.
He dumped Fluff because he was taking too much spotlight away from himself, he forever pursues the dollar and I have heard he likes to play table games not like Daley or probably Hefty(did), but he does occasionally go to casinos.michiganblkman said:white is right said:Guys have stepped up in the past.
