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

1. Interesting that no one has thrown out the name Nicklaus (or some other previous great) as the reason to be anti Tiger.
2. I do not think there is a lot of HATE Tiger out there, but instead it is a media-drivn perception that you either LOVE or HATE someone. In actuality, Tiger just does not conjure of much LIKE in comparison to DISLIKE of him. That is, the only "universal" like/respect of Tiger is his dominance on the golf course---no one should disagree with that. Other than that, you may like his because he's black or because he can get any number of women (including Elin) but not everyone likes this about Tiger. But the reason(s) to DISLIKE him are so, so many, although none are universal including he's too good, he's black, he cheated on him wife, he does not give good interviews, etc. I think when you add it all up, Tiger does evoke responses of sympathy and thus, people will say HATE instead.
TL; dnr: okay---no pro Jack folks in this thread and it is not Hating Tiger but no one has sympathy for him

I would say in his day Jack was as hated as Tiger. People, in general, aren't fans of arrogant winners. They're much more prone to be fans of someone like Couples, even though hasn't been a saint in his personal life.
