You give him no slack for wanting to do good things w/ all the money he has made? I think that is wrong.

I think it is disingenuous to say more than anything else, it is a tax writeoff. That is obviously a huge thing, but you are saying he wouldn't do it if it weren't for the tax writeoffs. You don't know that.

And even if it is solely because of the tax writeoffs, does that make him a bad person? An intentional act that creates a lot of good, no matter the intent behind the action still equals good in my opinion.

First off, I've never said fuck tiger, he's a bad person, or anything else. All I've stated is he's cares about money.

Secondly, I said more then anything its a tax write off. Which is true. I didnt say he does it just for that reason. He probably does want to help people, I know I would if I had that kind of money. There's a reason a lot of pro athletes live in florida, there's no income tax. He could easily live in Cali, where he was born and raised and play golf year round.

Do I think he wants to help people? Yes. Is it genuine? Who knows.

Kid rock may do drugs, write crappy music and fight people in waffle houses, but he's also paid a pizza guys medical bills when he was jumped and severly beaten for 15 dollars and paid for a $2 million water park for kids without saying hey look what I did.

Where's the story about Tiger going the extra mile for the everyday person other the writing checks to charity? I'm glad he gives money to help but anybody can sign their name on a piece of paper.
