(i am rooting for tiger) f-ck the sponsors

[ABEHONEST]

Opps !
Looks like I am guilty of not reading this thread !

Our members,in general,are giving this asshole what he needs, a dirty image that never will be clean again,unless he's Cathotic of course ?

[JetsMatt85]

MAYBE HE GAVE THE ASIAN MEN A BAD NAME BUT THE BLACK MEN HAD A BAD NAME LONG BEFORE TIGER WOODS CAME ALONG

[jjgold]

Jimmy is right , as soon as he wins tourneys sponsors will be all over him again. This story will not die down.

[jellobiafra]

My question was, who determines what is right and wrong? Who made those assumptions way back in time and why do you follow those guidelines? I'll save you time, it was "SOCIETY" as a whole that did. Not a specific group or cult, not a village in Eastern Tibet, Western Civilization did.

If Western Civilization hadn't poured the groundwork for morals and ethics, what Mr. Woods is doing would be quite alright actually and in some religions it is just that.

We seem to be going backwards here.

I never made a judgment as to whether Tiger Woods acted immorally or not. His actions certainly go against our society's accepted rules of behavior, but any question of morality is a much deeper issue. As I've noted, society does not necessarily occupy the moral high ground when it comes rules and behavior.

My only contention with you was the relating of morality and repercussions. The two notions are not innately congruent. If I haven't made that perfectly clear by now, maybe this has all been a waste of time.

Abe, is english your second language?

What the hell are you trying to say about catholics?

[jellobiafra]

Deuce, before we argue about this anymore, I think I understand where our disconnect is occurring. You are talking about societal standards of behavior and (in my opinion) confusing that with morality.

Society does not define morality. Their laws and codes do not make actions either moral or immoral. They can attempt to govern based on what they perceive to be a moral sense, but they don't set any true moral standard. Actual morality and immorality exists only in the mind of individuals.

[ABEHONEST]

Well you of all members should know MB,that was a "silly" joke about Catholics ?

It's been said in jokes of course,sin on Saturday night,go to confession on Sunday ,then ,wipe the slate clean and start all over .

Deuce does not like Blacks, he is a strong conservative Republican.

What about JEWS ?

Just what I was looking for.

[MartinBlank]

ABE...gotcha.

Now I get it.

But isn't that true of all christians?

[konck]

Look at some of the catch lines for these companies using tiger
Gatoraide ...The Tiger is in you
They can now make that ...The tiger is in you...and you...and you...an you

Accenture...They use Be a better man....Hello

Yeah I dont blame them for dumping this whore nibbler

[yisman]

Unfortunately, athletes/celebrities these days will come with some sort of baggage like this. This is on the companies for not doing their due diligence. This guy has been sleeping around for years. They should have known.

How should they have known? That's absurd.

[yisman]

Not sure if I understand your phrasing, but as to the question: Who chooses between right and wrong?

We all do.

Unfortunately, most people don't have a problem with choosing wrong. That's why we have the need for societal repercussions and consequences.

If you make a choice to do or not do something based on what the repercussions of your actions will be, you are not making a decision founded in morality or ethics. If you make a decision regardless of what the repercussions will be, most likely you are.

Dead on.

Abe, is english your second language?

I think it is, but he also doesn't have a first language. It's all very confusing.

[ABEHONEST]

Oh,about my language,I think most of you fellows are just too young ,and my message's fly over your heads ?

[yisman]

No, I don't think that's it.

[tltaylor89]

Is that a good fit ?

BOYS TIGER JUST LOST ANOTHER SPONSOR A MAJOR ONE AT&T HAS DROPPED TIGER.TIGER HAS AT&T ON HIS GOLF BAG AND HAS A TOURNAMENT IN HIS NAME SPONSORED BY AT&T THIS WAS A HUGE ENDORSEMENT.

BOYS THESE SPONSORS MIGHT BE MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE IF TIGER COMES BACK AND WINS AGAIN IF HE WINS THE PRICE WILL BE DOUBLED FOR THE SPONSORS TO JUMP BACK ONBOARD I KIND OF HOPE TIGER STICKS IT TO THE BIG COMPANIES AND TELLS THEM TO GO F-CK THEMSELVES IF HE STARTS WINNING AGAIN

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE TIGER AGAIN

[seaborneq]

Let athletes make their money as athletes, not as endorsers. Then they can act a fool and no one will care what they do or when they do it. As long as they are not in jail, they can make money. It makes no sense for athletes to be pitchmen, never has, never will. They are on television all the time and perform a certain skill/craft, other than that what makes them great pushers of products. We as a society are stupid enough to believe that Jordan's shoes, Tiger's clubs/balls, and Peyton's drink will make us better athletes. Who's the fool?
