Think of any top tier PGA pro. There will be folks who simply are not fans of that particular pro. Many are that way with Tiger. But they don't hate him. I feel like some of you on this and other threads react to any sort of not-Tiger-fan post like the poster is a "hater". It's almost like you 'hate' the poster.
My two cents.

I don't disagree however, not being a fan is one thing, taking personal shots at the guy or not recognizing his talent or giving credit for his win to his competition's inadequacies is another. To me, those are haters. There are many sports stars I don't embrace, but I do recognize their talents and appreciate what they contribute to their sport.
