Normally....when one of the "elite' is caught with their hand in the till..the liberal crowd will ALL join in unison and sing songs like--"WWJD", or "he who is without sin.." or, we must show compassion"--and then rally around that person and protect them--and keep their wrongdoings hidden as much as possible.
So..WHY have they decided to abandon Tiger Woods??
Not that long ago...he was the "darling" of so many...a black man who rose to the top of the golf world...and seemed so "magical". At that time--NO ONE was allowed to question much of anything to do with him.
Now--he has been caught in an affair. Sure it is bad--and sure--many others do it. And therein lies the problem.
Many other of the elite have affairs too. Lettermen comes to mind. The elites did NOT throw him under the bus. I think he still has his sick show.
But now--if one just heard the talking heads and such-- but did not know who they were talking about --they might think that it is Rush, Sarah, Joe Wurzelbacker, Glen Beck or such--that is being trashed. But no...it it TIGER that the American pravda is now deserting.
I can only hazard to guess that "those in power" have decided he is NOT really on their side--and now--"let him get his". Possibly the inauguration events had a lot to do with that.
But I do wonder...why are they turning on their Tiger??
“He is a lousy father and husband and should be shamed as such!”
In my fantasy world where I make the rules - I would put Tiger’s image on posters that serve as PSA’s about the dangers of STD’s.
Put them up at medical clinics, hospital lobbies, nurse’s offices.
His image isn’t the only image I would use though - I would collect the pics of all these nice ladies Tiger meets at various casinos and nightclubs.
I would also bring him into our church youth group discussions - how money and fame don’t make a person happy - or make them a “good” person.
Particularly at his socioeconomic level.
In a "social construct" sense, this is too juicy of a tale not to believe.
And who cheats with floozies on a Nordic supermodel...?
Cheers!
respect! He has lost that among many and yes, I am one...
Maybe we have been fooled one too many times.
Great question. I would agree with the others about how he refuses to identify himself as "black". He doesn't seem to give credit to any black leaders for where he is today. He gives credit to his father and mother. He excels WITHOUT the apparatus of the "african american" industry...and he excels in a WAY white world.
He's dangerous to the liberal agenda but he's never really espoused politics so they've been treating him with kid gloves up till now. I think the contrast between Obama and Woods plays a part. Both are multi-racial...both never had the "black" experience. Obama got on board and embraced the black experience, Woods didn't. Now that Obama is becoming VERY unpopular I think their associations and lessons to be learned are a little too close? Perhaps the left wants no apparently black man more popular than Obama? I don't know.
Here’s a related question : Why is no one pointing out that his wife is guilty of domestic violence? A man in a similar situation would almost certainly face criminal charges.
It wasn't a hard choice for them.
I think you have it right.
I was just wondering this morning, Scotswife, if Tiger didn’t like Elin’s attention shifting from him to their children. I’m sure he loves them too, but some men just don’t get how much more fascinating and cuddly babies are. Elin was a nanny, so she naturally loves children. She wanted her two and probably wants more. Tiger could have been feeling left out of all the love....??
there is no news
I’ve been listening real hard for Bill Cosby to speak up on this but haven’t heard... anyone?:)
Yep, Tiger was not interested in being “black” or “minority.”
And, on top of it, a white gal whooped his butt!!
I pointed it out numerous times from the start. Of course, I know what you mean.... no one of consequence is doing so.
They news geeks just broke that one of Woods skanky girl friends works at a marijuana store.....Ooooooooh..
“I’ve been listening real hard for Bill Cosby to speak up on this but haven’t heard... anyone?:)”

Immediately after his “pound-cake” speech, the Bill Cosby was subjected to a succession of manufactured sex scandals as a number of women were dug up and trotted out to accuse him of boffing them in the past (well, some or all of them may have been true, it happened at least once, re: his infamous love child whose boyfriend convinced her to try to blackmail him).
The sustained campaign had the intended result. Coz has been tamed into silence.
That’s entirely possible, how many women lose all interest in hubby after the kids are born? Even after they no longer require round-the-clock watching.
My guess is she won’t allow anyone else to look after them.
I bet the jerk didn’t like it one bit.
He complained to his many conquests that the sex dried up (now whether that is true or not? Afterall - a cheater can also be a liar)
Somehow Elin managed to get pregnant twice despite the fact she allegedly wasn’t sleeping with her husband.
So the news is reporting that many in the sports world have known all along what an a$$clown this guy is, but they played along to keep the gravy train going.
I hope she leaves despite the monetary incentive to stay.
I hope she has an annulment. He exposed her to disease - he dishonored his family.
Geez - even the guy who introduced them is regretting it now and publicly apologized to her.
“Here’s a related question : Why is no one pointing out that his wife is guilty of domestic violence? A man in a similar situation would almost certainly face criminal charges.”
hmmm....I think if my husband exposed me to disease - and STUPIDLY left sext messages throughout the country to various skanks exposing me to public humiliation, hmmmm - might I be capable of domestic violence?
you betch’ya!
