I have to ask why you think you are entitled to know whether he does random or unknown acts for others?

And frankly, I'm surprised that having a foundation that's raised and disbersed over $30 million in the last dozen years, building a $25 million education center, being involved in Make-a-Wish, often donating his winnings, etc. isn't enough to fulfill your desire to have him be more philanthropic.

Is being driven to earn a lot of money and sell yourself and your brand a bad thing? Especially in light of what appears to be a lot of giving?

Is it the "hands-on" aspect that is lacking for you? Because I'm really not following your rationale. You think he's too much "hey look at me", but yet you are upset you haven't heard more about how he gives his time and money? I don't think you give millions and millions and millions of dollars just to build that image. He's have a pretty similar image without that amount of money and time he spends.

I dont think I'm entitled to anything dealing with tiger.

I think that if he was a truly good person, it would show more then having a charity and a building in your name.

To me there's a difference between having your name on a building and caring for people. Everything we've seen from tiger is what you'd expect which is what he's given us. He's played the role.

If you want me to believe he means it, show me something other then what I'd expect. Do I expect rich people to donate to charity? Sure, I believe that most people are inherently good and want to help others. Did I expect kid rock to read a newspaper about a pizza guy that got jumped and pay for his medical bills? No, that makes me believe that he cares more then just having his name on a building so people can see that he's a "good" person. I'm not asking for tiger to do that and say hey look what I did. I'm just asking for proof that he's done other then whats expected.

What I've said all along is that Tiger has constructed an image to make money. Doing the norm and donating roughly 5% of a Billion dollars on the surface makes it look like he cares. He's giving millions and making Billions. Any agent, pr rep, accountant, or caddy can make you look like you care.

Everybody has a right to make a living and in a capitalistic society, you have a right to as big of a slice of pie as you want. I don't disagree with that. If Tiger truly cared about kids, people, whatever, he wouldnt be out wrecking his family life while selling us this image of a clean wholesome guy and nailing anything that moves. That I don't agree with.

People can make mistakes and while it is human to err, repeated offenses are nowhere near mistakes or humane.

If he wants me to buy into tiger again, Eldrick, better come out and man up.
