For the fools who follow celebrity as some sort of God-like attraction, he remains defended despite rule-breaking, rule-bending, and ONLY because he is touted as "Black" is he a feature that draws hangers-on and Politically Correct followers. He no longer commands the Endorsement Contracts he had previously, and his attitude is arrogant, beyond belief.
I was at the Masters in 1998, when Mark O'Meara won, yet the bulk of the attention and media coverage ALWAYS includes Woods, even when he's not even on the Leader Board. Likewise, you will see the Leaderboard on the Networks with his name listed, even though he is not contending amongst the leaders, and may be in 15th place, when they list the Top Ten Leaders, plus a bottom line of Tiger Woods position and score. Even when the Leaders are hitting shots, the cameras are on Woods, missing live action of the players who are at THE TOP.
Get over it....he's a has-been.
Worshipped for being Black, having suffered from slavery, Jim Crow, and all other sins of the society. Worship uniting the nation across the political spectrum. Worship of the untalented singers, actors, film directors, all for their being black.
I’d take it up with Augusta’s honchos. Their tournament, their call.
