Tiger Curses When He's Frustrated ... Just Like Everybody Else

No excuse for it on such a frequent scale. He knows he is on tv for each and every of his shots...playing good or bad. He should rise above his sorry upbringing and try to act the part of the role model he has somehow become.

Nike tolerated Vicks dogfighting, so I guess they'll also tolerate tiger woods throwing out the f bomb during telecasts too.

You're equating swearing to dog fighting? You're an idiot.

You TV people and all others just leave The Tiger alone, if he is not winning you all give him shit! Wow, guess what he is human... And he is a wonderful person and does so much for the kids

So he swears when he gets frusterated. Big deal, everyone swears when they become frusterated. Tiger could do worse, and has by throwing clubs. He actually hit his caddy once with a thrown club. Throwing clubs is a dangerous deed. I'd would rather hear the "F" bomb,the "S" or "D" word, than see a golf club flying some where, possibly at someone. Patch

John Doe, you're an ass-hole!!!! There is nothing to indicate that Tiger had anything but a fine up-bringing, and yes he is a role model, based on his actions on and off the course. Don't make up stuff just because you resent who he is and what he's done!!!!!

Only a person who cannot argue with facts, resorts to personal insults.

There used to be a rule in golf that there was to be no profanity, throwing clubs, etc. There were fines given to those who slipped up and let it rip. I haven't been to a tournament lately so I don't know what there are doing now. Obviously they do not show this sort of thing on TV. If they improved the rules by charging a stroke for every infraction, there would never be another problem. And if they had fined Tiger a stroke for every time he spits and snots on the fairway and uses profanity, he would never have won a single tournament and made very few cuts!!

He who is without sin cast the first stone. I don't think anyone can throw any stones.

I suppose most swear, but it's a matter of degree. Tiger is awful, period. His language and behavior are horrible. He gets as many f bombs on TV as every other player combined. Remember him raking his putter on a green? Laughing about a "fan" knocking down a shot of his about to go out of bounds? A real man would have told his fans to knock it off, but a waste product like Tiger doesn't care about integrity was happy to see it. I'm surprised he didn't ask his fans to knock down more shots. He never lost a tournament either. Oh no, he just didn't have his A-game every time someone else won. I really wonder how bad it would have to get before some of his fans realize how morally bankrupt he is.

John Doe, you are exhibit #1 of irresponsibility on the internet. You comparing Vick and Woods is another reason why so many people find comment boards disgusting.

mimiintampa, I only compared the two as they are both high profile Nike endorsed athletes.

please go back and read the original post and we'll talk again.

I assume you're not one of those that find mb's disgusting as you are here posting....

WOW, GROWN MEN ARGUING IN CYBERSPACE ABOUT ANY GOLFERS LANGUAGE ON THE COURSE BAFFLES ME. GO READ A STORY TO YOUR KIDS. KISS YOUR WIFE. FIND A CLUE. DO YOU THINK ANYBODY TRULY CARES WHAT YOU THINK?

Who cares, Tiger shows he is human and cares about his job? I would be more concerned if he did not curse. Tiger is human and shows his frustration so he is a bad guy? He may not be the force he once was but he is still a strong competitor 0n tour.

Tiger has opened the game to a whole new series of fans and has been a role model since. I say God bles Tiger and his family and thank you.

I taught all 3 of my sons to play golf. They now play regularly with me when they're not involved in school activities. The first rule I laid down was NO PROFANITIES when the ball doesn't go their way. The second was don't even think of THROWING or POUNDING YOUR CLUB. Regardless of how the world has changed, there's still a little thing known as SPORTSMANSHIP. I learned it from my Dad and teach it to my kids. Too often I've seen Woods throw his club down or pound it into the turf in disgust. Too often I've heard one of my boys say 'did you read his lips'? I've been watching golf on TV for longer than I care to remember and I'd venture to say Woods has shown the POOREST SPORTSMANSHIP of any golfer in recent memory.

Anyone using fowl or dirty language means they had no edcuation and therefore have no vacabulary. Basically they are dumb and ignorant.

These comments remind me of Arnold Palmer's reaction when Tiger first came on tour. Arnold actually stopped Tiger as he left the podium of an event and talked to Tiger PUBLICLY about how Tiger's exuberance might be a bit much for the golf fans. Then I recall DL III losing his temper in a bunker at Arnold's event. DL III hit the sand so hard with his club that he broke a drain and the bunker flooded. They had to hold up the golf tournament while the bunker was drained. Arnold laughed aobut it on the TV the next day and said he put a note on DL III's locker that the bill was about $10,000. Ha-ha. Yes, Tiger is and always will be held to a higher standard. I'm glad he's man enough to live his own way in spite of it.

Yo Steve,

Your comments about Tiger's "moral bankruptcy" are absurd; how could you possibly really know anything about his character based on media coverage and tightly controlled interviews? If you think other golfers aren't cursing, then you neither play nor watch very much.

My guess is you'd get really riled up, though, if I used the term morally bankrupt regarding El Presidente Bush, despite the fact we know a lot more about him personally AND his position and decisions are just a little more important...ruler of the free world vs. golf pro.

What's the big deal; a US President can get a blow job in the White House. So why can't a pro golfer yell a few 4-letter words in public. I don't see much difference here; they are just human..

Do you think it is because he is black that others go out of their way to find fault? I know he gives just about everything to charities wonder what others do!
