When asked a question you do seem to look at it from your prespective so Tiger answered truthfully, it you had listened to the whole interview you would have learned that instead of looking for something negative. Grow up and stop trying to create an issue where there isn't one.

One more thing, re your "for the love of children" vomitus: In fact I did teach for several years, and reviews were unfailingly good. Sorry to burst your ranting little bubble there.

Also, I suppose it would be useless to point out the extreme hypocrisy of somebody (you) who is so hand-wringingly concerned with children, bringing them in as imaginary co-victims of bad treatment along with yourself, while at the same time defending a guy who has humiliated his own children for life.

@bentnrk

Your speculation about what I "would have said" is about as screamingly irrational as the rest of your commentary. You still don't have any idea why what you've said is internally inconsistent and thus hypocritical.

As for "treatment" and "ranting" and such, I'm quite satisfied to let people read your posts and mine, and judge for themselves.

@emncaity...competitor's family. It's incredible to me you take issues with that!! You are a SICK and SAD individual. You've strayed off topic countless times, while RANTING like a mad man!! Please, seek professional (mental) help! I only hope your employment keeps you away from influencing others. If not, I know there's A LOT of people not happy working around you. And, for the love of children, I hope you're NOT a school teacher!! That WOULD be criminal!!!! Have a nice life and get treatment.

@emncaity From YOU: "...Tiger, having done what he's done, should have nothing to say about somebody else's wife and/or marriage. In other words, your main argument completely deconstructs itself through its own hypocrisy." Dude, this video/ Tiger's comments regarding the Mickelsons is a topic of HEALTH relations! NOTHING MORE!! Had Tiger not commented, you'd (and other TW haters) said he's heartless and hates Amy as well as Phil. The man (Tiger) showed compassion towards a fellow....

@bentnrk

Now: Please feel free to post more irrational off-point responses based on straw men and tangents. I think it is simply impossible for you to see this as an adult sees it. Your entire argument boils down to the following: -- Since all have sinned, nobody can criticize anybody else for anything. If you do, you're a "hater." (This is kind of a universal principle now.) -- Since nobody can criticize Woods, anything he says on any subject cannot be inappropriate.

4. No further review needed. I would agree that Woods is uncharacteristically mature-sounding here and actually makes some good points re the comparisons between his father and Amy. Once again, although you seem incapable of understanding this, my original post had to do with the inappropriateness of Woods talking about anybody else's wife in public. If he wanted to go tell Mickelson this privately--and I can just about guarantee you he didn't--that'd be somewhat different.

(3 ct'd): ...was a particularly relevant comparison to how Tiger-worshipers reacted to his own extended and outrageous infidelity, in that as long as the sports figure (Woods, Bryant, whoever) is spectacularly good at what he does, we should ignore things like rape-or-adultery, or serial adultery, so we keep getting our sports entertainment or hero-worship or whatever it is that people like you get out of it.

@bentnrk

(3 ct'd): Of course, a cowardly accuser such as yourself can try to smear somebody as a racist anytime. Doesn't surprise me. As for me, I consider it racist not to apply the same standards of behavior to everyone regardless of race, to expect less of somebody because he's black or Asian or white. Bryant happened to be an on-point example because he was married, because he apparently felt entitled enough to do what he did, and because the reaction of fans to what he did... (ct'd)

@bentnrk

(2 ct'd): And even if I didn't hate what he did, I would think that would make commenting on the illness of another man's wife--a man with whom he has had a particularly prickly relationship, by the way--more than a little inappropriate, which was the point of my original post, which you keep sliding over in your glurge.

3. As for Kobe, he is merely the example that came to mind, mainly because he plays for a team I used to watch in person when I was growing up in L.A. (ct'd)

2. Unlike somebody like you, who has to think simplistically, like a child, in terms of "hating" or "loving" somebody, no, I do not "hate" Tiger. I hate what he did. I am also able to distinguish between utter admiration for his game, his competitive drive, his mental toughness (clearly the best of his generation), etc., and what he did to his family. If you don't, that's your business, of course. (ct'd)
