In fact on the PGA tour there is a slang term for a wife who isn't a beauty queen - they call them 'first wife' (my source is from PGA veteran Brad Faxon on the Boston sports talk station WEEI from about 3-4 years ago). To say that what's happening to Tiger is some sort of karma is just ludicrous on it's face. These same people don't bash others.
Yes, it's just my opinion that the base of the hatred stems from racism. But I deal with the public on a daily basis at the hospital and racism is still deep in and around TV. It's tragic and stupid.

Tiger Woods was and Is an excellent golfer, but he has a very fragile self confidence. I knew when he was caught cheating with so many, many women, and public opinion turned against him he would go downhill. He needs the cheers and accolades and positive public opinion to play golf at his best. He would go from zero to sixty when he hit a bad shot. NOT the best personality for a golfer.
It isn't fair that because some are narrow minded that you think all are narrow minded. I think ANYONE who allows any religion, political party, or entity to think for them is wrong. But I do not think all people are born with the same tools to make a success of their lives. Some are advantaged and some are disadvantaged in a lot of different ways . You are grouping people in a bunch the same way racists do. There may be some who judge him because of race, but it is not fair to say that about a bunch of us.
I think Tiger Woods had everything and he threw it away. And I would think that if he was bright pink.
And if I were his wife I would have bopped him hard just like she did. And maybe adusted a few other things so that he would sing with the sopranos.
