That's how I remember it. Fuzzy was the tour's premier jokester, and his was an obviously lighthearted comment which Woods could have easily defused immediately; however, he left him twisting in the wind for a couple of weeks before commenting. I never thought much of Woods after that.
That is how I remember it, too. Compare that to a decade earlier, when Isaiah Thomas made a joke about Larry Bird getting special treatment for being white. Said it on a Thursday, I believe, and the press lit him up. The following Sunday Bird was was on CBS, telling people to lighten up, it was a joke. Being an Enemy Celtic, I was no Bird fan, but I applauded him, that day. Like you, I never thought much of Woods,at that point, either.
