As the Col. astutely noticed the phony claim of a bogus injury is the modus operandi of the black affalete. With so many willing enablers in the caste-sports media to run interference for them they are free to quit like the petulant children they really are when things aren't going their way.
Whitey, on the other hand, is expected to gut it out until it kills him. It used to be part of the attraction of "sports", the ability of a guy (or gal) to tough it out and play through it. However like every other former proper behavior from the old days that type of thinking is long gone.
I noticed in the comments section of the Tiger story that no one was buying it. Obviously the fans understand the real deal while the marxist media continues to spin it's corporate fueled lies.
The growing disconnect between a media desperate to see a resurgent Tiger, and a fan base revelling in his meteoric fall from grace should be one of the great stories of the year.
