The media fawning over Tiger Woods is not just because he is (half) black. He is the greatest golfer of his generation. If you picked a handful of the greatest golfers in history, he is right there with them. And he accomplished most of it before he was 40. The idea that he may have gotten his game back is big news.
I don’t follow golf. I don’t follow tennis. Since I got nailed in a football pile-up at age nine, I lost all interest in sports involving smacking, throwing and kicking balls around, except sometimes soccer. The only thing that does interest me is the politics of political correctness. I know Tiger Wood because he’s in the news. He’s in the news because he’s part black. I bet he’s a good golfer. But I didn’t know he lost ‘his game’. So now he’s got it back. Woopdeedoo. What are the other ‘greatest golfers of all time’ doing lately? They’re not in the news because they’re not even part black, just golfers.
