re: Why do people on here HATE Tiger so much?

You can hate people more for having affairs than others, by the way.

For example, I hate Amy Grant more than I hate Bobby Brown because Amy Grant is a Christian singer whose persona that was created to make her profitable was a lie and she profited from it in spite of her deception and dishonesty.

Bobby cheated on Whitney? Would anybody REALLY be surprised by that? Has Bobby pretended to be somebody he isn't?

THAT'S the difference between Tiger Woods and Sean Payton.

The difference is Sean Payton is the Saints head coach.

If he was the Falcons, you would hate him. And probably site his affair as a contributing factor.

You actively root against a five year old playing t-ball? Why don't you root for the dad lightening up?

if the parent were capable of changing his behavior I'd root for that. but that's really not an option IMO

because of that it will be better for the rest of the participants (children and parents) if the child fails

Nicklaus = Tiger

Couples = Mickelson

Would agree that Jack was hated as Tiger but I do not remember (too young) if Jack's brashness and arrogance showed up in his interviews---golf course, I would guess yes but not sure about interviews. Also, I would suspect since he was "Fat Jack" for the first 10 or so years of his career, he evoked more sympathy than Tiger.

Your cheering has no effect on the outcome. So why not cheer against the grown adult?

You would win that bet.

yes...yes he would!

I would say in his day Jack was as hated as Tiger.

You would be correct. Jack knocked Arnie off the throne and the fans hated him for it. They called him Fat Jack until he lost the weight years into his career.

I love Tiger and his awesome game before the scandal. And so did most people also, but let's be honest here. I've never seen someone fall so hard in all my life, and sadly, it's because of race I think. He is a black athlete despite what he says and that is how he is perceived and the fact that he cheated on his lily white, saintly like, hot perfect wife that just turned off a lot of people like I've never seen before. Let's be honest like I said when there is a lot of men out there cheating on their wives all the time, it's a common theme, but you swear Tiger was the first to do it the way people are acting, pathetic. What the guy has done for the game is wonderful, bringing together people of all ethnicinities to watch a sport once considered and still boring as hell. But this scandal has hurt his game and image in a real ugly way.

if we are talking about kids events I tend to applaud both sides and I don't engage obnoxious parents because those people are generally retarded assholes.

but do I privately root against their children? you betcha. the best possible outcome for those kids would be a torn ACL so their father can move on with his life and let his kid be a kid.

I can see your point. I just disagree with it. Either way, obnoxious dads suck.

I used to help coach an elementary school wrestling team. You haven't seen intense parents until kids wrestling tournaments.
