WAS TIGER WOODS THE “POLITICALLY CORRECT” CHOICE FOR THE RYDER CUP?

Should Tiger be included on the Ryder Cup Team?

Is he a former PGA phenom? Without question. Did he have an exceptional 2010 season? No, he had a decidedly lackluster 2010 season. Was he the first African-American golfer to achieve superstar status and retain it over several seasons? Aha! I think that could be the key!

When we put together an Olympic hockey or soccer team, we don’t select a player who is the first Croatian-American who plays a mediocre hockey or soccer game, and who happens to be grappling with some emotional problems. No, we go for the guys who will best represent the USA and bring back the gold!

Everybody knows why Tiger may have had a bad season. Blonde bimbos, divorce, huge settlement… yada, yada, yada.

Hey, guys screw up! Especially, young guys who are sports superstars or Hollywood matinee idols with a seemingly endless supply of money. The “groupies” come out of the woodwork when they catch the scent of the large green. This is nothing new.

Should sports fans forgive him? We’ve forgiven worse.

Should he be given an honorary spot on the Ryder Cup Team because he’s a former phenom, or because there’s a good reason why he had a dismal season? Probably not.

Hell, Arnold Palmer is a former phenom; let’s get him!

But then, there’s that African-American thing…

Why am I imagining it to the tune "Clubbed to Death"?

It's called race baiting and we don't play that game very well. Libs are racist, we are not.

Thanks for the Newbies and Founder’s Statement links.

They are not as obvious as you seem to think they are when a “newbie” first logs on.

I’m not much into chat sites, but I’ll give it a shot, and try to be more interactive.

And I’ll hang on to my “jerks and crazies” opinion until I see some evidence to the contrary.

P.S.: If this is a conservative site, why is everyone so quick to use the “racist” label. I thought playing the race card is the Liberals’ favorite weapon!

So then, I'm a jerk, and I'm crazy (the words you used about me). Well then, you really don't want to know what I think of you.

P.S.: If this is a conservative site, why is everyone so quick to use the “racist” label. I thought playing the race card is the Liberals’ favorite weapon!

I'm going to assume you refer to all the "That's Racist" responses that are scattered around threads. It's a cynical mockery of the media and liberals who love to call anyone a racist who doesn't agree with the Obama agenda. It's called "humor". I suggest you give it a try. Good day...
