Pinged you to a passport thread

Yes, I posted to you there that I posted the thread. Finding out it may NOT be new news!

I agree with Mr. Knight.
Flame as you wish; but IMO its been an over-blown soap opera from the start. The philandering of Woods has been a 'well-known secret' since approximately day 1.
Why hasn't the righteous outrage been directed towards those who have enabled this to continue for so many years?

I'll venture that its because of proximity to Woods' fame and the financial rewards reaped by the enablers who made up this circle.

So Tiger boinked out of his marriage...so what?
He's a friggin professional athlete (well OK, a golfer) to set him up as a role model for fidelity and integrity is a losing proposition from the git-go.

Like I said, I agree with Mr. Knight that its just bidness as usual...You win some - You lose some...The trick is to just hang in and keep bangin' away. Its bidness...nothing more.

Weird stuff

Wonder if some lefties have been deliberately publishing partial BS stuff to muddy the waters and make all critics less credible

It seems to be an old story that was circulated in October. Snopes said it was false.

With that I’ll just slink off to bed.

Snopes is run by a liberal couple

It often will not cover anything that could be negative to democrats

Sorry about any.....

It looks like the sign says "Go Jags" in the corner. Was this at a Jaguars NFL game?

Too Funny.

Please! You think the ...erm ...'Amish' ( I guess the dark skinned variety ...or is it the Hispanic variety this week on FR) are te main buyers of Nike products. That they are the main buyers of golf related merchandise. I'm certain they surely must be the main purchasers of the higher end Tag watches as well that Tiger hawks, as well as the majority buyers of Higher end Buicks and Escalades.

Or maybe these 'Amish' who are giving Tiger the pass are middle aged white males who are the core target demographic of the Tiger marketing angle, and in business speak have a high stickiness aspect and a level of discretionary spend that will almost asertain that once this scandals abate the sponsors will come back to Tiger with even bigger deals due to his monetization factor, just as they came back when that rapist cum cheater Kobe Bryant's case got forgotten. In that case, as well, the target PAYING market was not the darker Amish varieties but the lighter skinned varieties that are the main people watching - actual ticket holding core fans- watching games at the courts. Wrong Amish FRiend

Roger that. It would probably take an OJ type deal for them to officially pull out.

Tiger is still a choir boy by Nike standards.
