Those who see racism in almost everything make me almost as sick as racists. There are plenty of reasons to not like Tiger. You don't have to even consider his latest withdrawal...

His on-course demeanor is one...club slamming or throwing, swearing, and other childish behavior when things don't go his way.

I've never seen Tiger give due credit to a golfer who beat him. Tiger always loses due to a poor day with the putter, or some such drivel. He never just gets his butt kicked by somebody who played better.

He conducts himself in a generally arrogant manner and pays little attention to his fans.

Finally, there is Tiger's cheating. I am by no means condoning adultery, but there is adultery, and then there is what Tiger did.

Racism? Maybe for some. But I think many should get over the fact that you don't have to be racist to dislike Tiger.
Totally agree. Having honor and being honorable goes a long way....
