Tiger Woods
Jeeze...I know he's the greatest golfer in the world, but this BS with his injured knee. He is freakin' golfing. He's walking a course, at a moderate pace while somene CARRIES HIS CLUBS, REFRESHMENTS AND SNACKS! I have walked courses w/ 70+ year old men who have ailments that make Tigers knee look like a hang-nail! Guys with diabtes, bum tickers, cancer survivors..you name it and this picture of health, workoutaholic, Sure it's great that throughout the injury he still mainatins his swing but somehowTiger Woods is defying the thresholds of human endurance fro pain and suffering..what the f???
He's not carrying and injured comrade while nursing bullet wounds, or even playing RB in the NFL, Forward in the NHL or Center in the NBA with serious injury . How many times have we seen the aformentioned positions in MUCH more demanding "sports" play with equal and often much greater injuries w/o SO MUCH fanfare??
How about this new ad with Earl Woods quote (IIRC) "I guarantee you'll never find a person who's menatlly tougher then Tiger". Sure he is mentally tough as a COMPETITOR..but lets not make him out to be the mentally toughest person on the planet. I'll take the surviving POWs, Navy Seals, kids who battle through horrible illness, people who survive horrible upbringings and succeed, most guys who get punched and kicked for a living, etc., etc.
I don't blame Tiger, but his media is just so over the top w/ everything (not just Tiger) it makes me sick. When they see true heroism and report it, it gets watered down because the have cried wolf SO MANY times.
RANT OFF
