“I wish all sports figures keep their pie holes shut and just play their sports.”
... I hear you, and agree, but.... there are some truths that need to be spoken. I appreciate Tiger’s courage and willingness to speak it rather than playing it safe for the sake of his career and endorsements.
I appreciate as well. My view is simple. Politics ruin sports - at least for me. While Tiger balances pro sports figures opinion ever so little (since there are so many loud mouth leftist athletes), his impact is minimal. There are already voices from the right (and the left) that are outside of sports. I see it as being consistent to want all of them to keep their opinions to themselves. I say this so the sport is not ruined. While we agree with Tiger, many will not. Could that potentially drive people away from watching golf? I don't know. I'm not driven way from golf yet. But I no longer watch the four major pro sports.
