"If going out all night, getting drunk, having affairs with other women were a criteria for being tossed out of sports, then Babe Ruth would have been tossed out of baseball because that is exactly what he did through out his career. "

I don't particularly care if Woods is or is not faithful to his wife. It's none of my business. But, if he is choosing to get in the car and drive while he's incapacitated, then I've got a big problem with that. I still contend that sober people don't demolish their cars when pulling out of their own driveway. He was either drunk or incapacitated on prescription medications.

Secondly, I've never approved of Tiger's on-course behavior. His marketing machine, with their willing accomplices in the media, have done a yeoman's job in covering for his (and his caddy's) incredibly boorish behavior. Some people, like Tom Watson, are just now starting to talk out about it. If Tiger really has changed his life, it will show up sooner on course, than it probably will off course.

None of this has anything to do with Tiger driving drunk. The only reason he was in the car when he crashed was because his wife was trying to kill him with a 5 iron or whatever. Many men have been killed by wives wielding golf clubs.

Another point: The people on these Tiger threads exhibit an anger that is way over the top, something I attribute to "success" envy. They don't like Tiger(he is an arrogant jerk)and so they are happy he screwed up in his personal life and use it as an excuse to attack and they are really, really, really hoping he will fail in Golf from here on out.

That is something that may happen, some athletes have been brought down because of their personal lives because the couldn't handle the pressure it geenrated on them.

To me, his personal life is between him, his wife and God and has nothign what so ever to do with Golf.

The amount of acid on these Tiger threads is appalling, considering that most FReepers are supposed to be Christians.

I don't golf, BTW, in fact I detest it so I really have no dog in this fight, but I wonder how so many so called Christians can exhibit such and acid hate for this man.
