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.
I didn't insinuate you said "fuck Tiger." All I'm saying is that you don't know anymore than than the rest of us do about whether his motivation to set up his foundation and charitable giving is more about tax writeoffs or him just wanting to do some good.

And lots of celebrities do good things for people, some we don't know about, some we do. The very fact that you know about Kid Rock's giving means it is being publicized in some fashion. Saying you haven't heard about Tiger helping the average Joe out goes against your apparent dislike of the "hey look what I've done" type of giving. You don't know what Tiger has given and to whom he's given it to. Neither do I. And I'd venture to say he does quite a bit more than just signing checks. By all accounts, he's pretty involved in his foundation and he goes out and does youth golf clinics and such quite a bit.

All I'm saying is that no matter his intentions, it still equals good. I choose not to question the intentions of those giving. If someone is giving, whether it is participation or money, it is a great thing.
