It would be like he's a good-guy pro-wrestler that all-of-a-sudden becomes an evil bad-guy.
haha third or fourth time somebody has come up with this analogy.

Sorry, max, I just meant that his image won him a lot of acclaim from people not usually predisposed to miscegenated people of color.

actually i guess he's only been married for like 5 years huh. so he was almost 30 and had been famous for almost a decade by then, surely he knew enough about himself at that point to maybe have an inkling that monogamy wasn't his bag? i never heard about him dating anyone or being regarded as an eligible bachelor before that, surely he was banging waitresses and shit before he got married too?

i assume many dudes who cheat, even at this volume, also desire to have a wife and family.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 22:55 (fourteen years ago) link
i think that comes from dudes who really truly give in to the belief that this is just how men are, and sure hey they love their wives but sometimes you just gotta yknow get a little something on the side, it doesn't mean they don't love their wives any less. (though it kinda does)

Isnt this just the "cats away/mouse will play" touring trap anyway, like rock stars end up in? I mean he was on the road all the time, and I'm guessing wifey wasnt always with him.
― millivanillimillenary (Trayce), Wednesday, 9 December 2009 23:08 (fourteen years ago) link
sure, but typically rock stars and michael irvin are not also paid big bucks to be the global face of management consulting firms and buick.

LOLLLLL tomorrow's Sun headline is all topical, Britishes: DARLING JUST SCREWED MORE PEOPLE THAN TIGER WOODS
― special vixens unit (suzy), Wednesday, 9 December 2009 23:18 (fourteen years ago) link
It's not for that reason at all. It's because he's a golfer. If you play golf, you endorse the sort of products that appeal to the golf market, like SAPs and insurance companies and other rich people things. If you are a football player you endorse trucks and soda and etc.
― real bears playing hockey (polyphonic), Wednesday, 9 December 2009 23:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Unless you're John Daly, and then you endorse Hooters.
endorse, pass out outside of in an alcoholic coma, whats the difference
― max, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 23:25 (fourteen years ago) link
iirc the point of tiger woods is that his appeal goes beyond the golf market
BECAUSE HE IS THE OBAMA OF GOLF, DO YOU SEE?
hence: a guy who plays a game where you amble about in khakis while some other dude carries your shit got a jordan-level gatorade endorsement. jordan may be the same kind of douchebag, but he does actually occasionally have reason to replace an electrolyte.
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 9 December 2009 23:29 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost and it wasn't even a buick! isn't that the real scandal here?
He was "the Obama of golf" long before he ever married a hot blonde model, though. The perception of him was that he was a weird nerd, not some chaste monk.
― real bears playing hockey (polyphonic), Wednesday, 9 December 2009 23:31 (fourteen years ago) link

Let me clarify one point: Tiger Woods IS a sleazy piece of shit. But that's basically what I think about everyone who went to Stanford, so hardly news.

― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Wednesday, 9 December 2009 23:57 (fourteen years ago) link
I think it's more likely that he learned this behavior FROM the tree. For example:

A nerd? Dude is buff. I am guessing the "nerd" part comes from the Asian stereotypes. Look, more people in the future will look this way, just get over it. Okay he has a white wife but she is cute. This whole story is a yawn. He can play golf. Get over it, people.

He wasn't so buff early in his career. The "nerd" part comes from the fact that he sounds like Steve Urkel.

Neither would I, but that was how he was perceived. I mean, look at the "draft" skit on Chappelle Show, and that was way way later in his career.
