Tiger is out for the season getting ACL surgery, which immediately creates all kinds of comments and discussion about golf, which I want to address:<\/p>\n
Statement:\u00c2\u00a0 Tiger is too dominant, so it makes golf boring.<\/p>\n
Response:\u00c2\u00a0 Stop being an idiot.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re watching history.\u00c2\u00a0 Nobody complained with it was Jordan, or Gordon, or Nicklaus, or PELE for fuck sake.\u00c2\u00a0 Seeing someone that dominant is inspirational.<\/p>\n
Statement:\u00c2\u00a0 How did he get injured when golf isn’t even a sport.<\/p>\n
Response:\u00c2\u00a0 Shut the hell up.\u00c2\u00a0 Either that, or define “Sport” for me in a way that doesn’t EXCLUDE car racing (because it’s not full contact, or involve running) or INCLUDE chess (because it isn’t one-on-one) or for that matter – in a way that makes any sense at all.<\/p>\n
Statement:\u00c2\u00a0 Tiger isn’t the best who’s ever played until he beats Nicklaus’ record.<\/p>\n
Response:\u00c2\u00a0 You’re a numbskull.\u00c2\u00a0 While it is certainly important to show that you have longevity to be the best, Tiger has already done that – and dominated at a higher level than Nicklaus ever did.\u00c2\u00a0 To be clear:\u00c2\u00a0 Tiger currently has over DOUBLE the World Ranking Points that the second place player (Mickelson) has, and over FOUR TIMES the points of the number 3 player.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not even close.\u00c2\u00a0 Another way to put it is this:\u00c2\u00a0 where do you draw the line?\u00c2\u00a0 On the 17th hole of the last round of his 19th major, he’s NOT the best player in the world, and 10 minutes later he IS?\u00c2\u00a0 Go away.<\/p>\n
Statement:\u00c2\u00a0 Golfers aren’t althletes.<\/p>\n
Response:\u00c2\u00a0 You’re a moron.\u00c2\u00a0 Take a look at Tiger’s exercise regimen, and the strength it takes to do what he does.\u00c2\u00a0 End of story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
