(Insert stupid Blog name here)

In my reality Tiger's press conference went something like (sanitised): "Yep, I made it with her. She threw herself at me and who was I to say no? You guys are just jealous 'cause I'm gettin' some without having to pay for it. Come on, it's either take 'em to bed or beat 'em off with one of my <sponsor> clubs. And I'm sure they'd rather me get some tail than be guilty of violence against women. I'd love to tell you more, but I have some twins who are ready, willing, and waiting."

His press conference didn't just smack of insincerity, it reeked of it. I felt like the whole time he was

which facial expressions he was supposed to be making at which time, in order to appear contrite.

 

I couldn't help but be reminded of this...

Why do people always stereotype other people? Why must a golf professional be holy where a football player can be evil? Why does the image mean more than the profession?

 

E.g. I do not like someone like Schumacher personally (IMO Damian Hill or Mika Häkkinen seem much nicer persons, if I had to chose someone for a holiday trip, I would favor them over Schumacher all day), but I am still a fan of Schumacher because of his wonderful profession. And that's what should count first, not if he has a beautiful wife or donates all his money for charity.

 

Actually I am sick of all those streamlined professionals which have been trained to look good at TV. I blame this on the advertising business which helps them so make absurd money if they play a certain role. Thanks to stupid customers who buy those lies.

 

And they do "play" that role! I watched some excerpts of Tiger Woods eating humble pie. That was terribly disgusting! He is a great golf player but a very, very bad actor. Does anyone actually believe a word he said? To me it was like he was begging on his knees to get his million $$$ sponsor contracts back and there was not a single fraction of self respect left.

 

If I would be interested in golf, I would still respect him as a great player. But outside the golf green, I can only recognize him as a dirty liar (and that's NOT because of his private life!), a money hooker who sold his soul.

To me it was like he was begging on his knees to get his million $$$ sponsor contracts back and there was not a single fraction of self respect left.

That's exactly how I saw it as well.

 

I'm beginning to wonder about his charities. What's the underlying motivation there? Is it really to help other people? Or is it more ego stroking? "Look how people admire me when I give away a fraction of my wealth to poor kids. I bet women think that's really hot!" I hate to think that's the case, but I really wonder...

Why do people always stereotype other people? Why must a golf professional be holy where a football player can be evil? Why does the image mean more than the profession?

For a contrast, look at someone like John Daly. He's had no end of problems with his very public personal life. Alcoholism, divorces, gambling... yet John never makes himself out to be anything other than what he is, and people like him more than Tiger, because John comes across as an honest, if flawed, nice guy. People are rooting for him to return to winning golf tournaments, probably because they can identify with someone like him more than they ever could with Tiger.

Jim Nantz isn't impressed, either.

I don't know this guy, but IMO there is way too much PC invloved here.

 

By those standards, German TV would sound like "Ich beep auf die beep beep!"

Tiger's next golf tournament.

That's gonna cost him. But at least he's free once again to focus his concentration on the one thing that matters most in his life... groupies.
