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.
Tiger is a GREAT golfer. A black man in a white man's sport.

Tiger didn't make Tiger look like a wholesome guy. The media did.

We always saw him yelling at fans, and abrasive towards most of the other pro golfers for years. Most of the PGA vets don't like Tiger at all. He's always been an ass, but the media has always portrayed him as something different.

He always tried to live a private life, and until now, he succeeded. That doesn't mean he was trying to show he was perfect. It was moreso that he didn't want to be bothered. He fired people in his inner circle over the years if they talked about Tiger behind the scenes.

Sponsors threw money his way b/c he is the face of golf, and the most recognizable athlete in the world right now.

Its not any different than Michael Jordan, Shaq, Bo Jackson, and many others over the years.

Just b/c you see someone act a certain way on camera, doesn't mean that is their true persona.

Also, what makes you think that Tiger does broadcast everything he does? Maybe he is geniune, maybe he isn't, but there's no way of knowing just how much time and money he's put into everything if he has been so private, and noone has talked on his behalf until all these mistresses came out, realizing they could get paid for a story.

I'm not condoning Tiger, or even defending him really, but you seem to take a hardline stance as if you know the man.

None of us do, so we shouldn't jump to conclusions if we don't have all the facts.

What we do know is Tiger is a great golfer, has made a lot of people rich, and completely tore apart his family by repeatedly fucking around on his wife.

Beyond that, its pure speculation.
