Tiger Woods – Paragon of Virtue

From the “Hero Worship is Tricky” Department courtesy of the AP:

Gatorade confirmed Tuesday it is discontinuing its Tiger Woods drink but says it made the decision before the golfer's car accident led to a media firestorm surrounding his personal life. The decision to drop the drink, called Tiger Focus, was first reported by trade publication Beverage Digest in an issue dated Nov. 25, two days before the incident at Woods' home in Florida. The publication's editor, John Sicher, said he learned of the decision the week of Nov. 9.

Perhaps the decision to discontinue Tiger Focus was made before his accident. Perhaps no conspiracy exists. But there still is a whitewash going on here. Gatorade is failing to mention the real reason for the drink’s discontinuation – it tastes like caddy Steve Williams’ socks after 18 holes.



And now on top of it all, there are reports of Tiger Woods sports figures on Clearance at the ol’ Toys R Us. Ouch!

I asked my wife (yes I have I wife - yes she is a woman) this evening if she thought people would be able to root for Tiger any longer after this whole mess and her response was “As long as he wins.”



And she’s right. Just ask Kobe Bryant. Tiger didn’t even (allegedly) rape anyone – as far as we know. This whole thing gets scummier by the hour. Yuck.
