Seriously?
Did she also stage the SUV accident?

Tiger himself said Elin didn't hit him and if anyone would have a reason to admit that, it would be him.

People should stop trying to make Tiger's actions look reasonable - he had a beautiful wife who is the mother of his 2 children and he went out and slept with dozens of women throughout the US behind her back. He knew it was wrong but he kept on doing it anyways.

He is an excellent golfer and deserves to be mentioned among the elite of all time. He has also shown himself to be a creep.

Maybe he has learned his lesson. I hope so, but being a great golfer doesn't get him a free pass. He needs to prove he isn't the POS he revealed himself to be.

You believe her story that she smashed out the rear window of his SUV to help get him get out after he hit the tree, and you believe that he needed to go to the hospital for injuries sustained in that fender bender? I certainly don't, and I don't think many other people do either.

Her being an abusive spouse in no way excuses his cheating though. From what I can tell, they were both bad people and hopefully they've grown up since then.

As for who wants sex more often, I think it varies from person to person, but women generally want good sex just as often as men do. The difference is that pretty much all sex is good sex for men, but women would rather take care of themselves than be with a man who can't get the job done.

I think you are the only person I have ever heard refer to her as being an abusive spouse. She is known to have broken a window on his car... that is pretty much it. If she actually hit him with a golf club he would be in the hospital for a lot more than a couple of scrapes, which in a car traveling 50 km an hour wouldn't really considered a fender bender.

Well I'd say chasing someone while menacing a golf club would qualify for abusive spouse, whether contact was made or not.

I'll leave this here, specifically because it addresses Tiger's divorce settlement. Many will probably be offended, but don't let that distract from the message

Offended by what, this sexist dick and his lame act?

"How many more great men are going to get chopped in half before we do something?"

He's talking about a golfer and a basketball player. Two arrogant, surly, philandering dickheads who are good at sports and nothing else. Great men indeed.


These "great men" knew the goddamn rules when they got married. Don't like having to pay your "babysitter" off when she dumps you for screwing every woman you can get your hands on? Don't get married, Mr. Great. It's pretty straightforward.

Or get a pre-nup. Which is becoming more and more common for male celebrities.

A pre nup gives him the right to cheat and have affairs?

Nope, was just responding to RougeUnderoos's post, adding that another way to avoid losing your money to a wife is to protect your money from the get go, which is becoming more and more common.

Having an affair entitles another person to half your stuff?

If you cheat and do scumbag things, then fine, relationship's over. The other party does not deserve a quarter of a billion dollars.

These "great men" knew the goddamn rules when they got married. Don't like having to pay your "babysitter" off when she dumps you for screwing every woman you can get your hands on? Don't get married, Mr. Great. It's pretty straightforward.
He also talks about Schwarzenegger. And about how nothing in life prepares you for the army of whores that come over the hill when you get to Arnold/Kobe/Tiger level famous.

But fine, call him a sexist dick, miss the point of the social commentary, and act like cheating is an offence that justifies a disproportionate level of financial compensation.

Keep in mind, the point is not to dispute the overall ###### move that is cheating on your wife. It's that blame does not fall solely on the man's side of the equation. Not with Elin, but the aforementioned army of whores that were completely aware of who Tiger/Kobe/Arnold/etc were, and yet they hopped in bed with them anyway hoping they'd found a lottery ticket. Which, I guess, might disprove my earlier thesis that women don't want sex as much as men, since apparently a wedding band isn't the foreign vagina deterrent I imagined it to be. At least not when a guy has five NBA championship rings, several hundred million dollars, 18 major victories, or is the Terminator.

But I could be wrong. Thanks for not being offended

It should be more and more common for males. You shouldn't ever feel trapped in a relationship out of a fear of financial ruin. When you aren't in love anymore, the relationship is over. If there's kids, sort it out like adults. But one person should not be made to pay for the other in perpetuity just because they made more money last year.

Ah, I see. I "missed the point of the social commentary".

I guess I sort of lost the the whole lofty social commentary angle when he said there is an "epidemic of gold digging whores in this country". That's not really my idea of social commentary. It's a sexist dick bitching about women in general.

When he got to the part about Kobe's wife being a gold-digger because she stuck with him, and then she was gold-digger for divorcing him, which simply doesn't make sense, I turned it off.

So, when it's not funny, and it doesn't make sense, and it's really just some fool who obviously just doesn't like women, I decided not to waste any more time.

I didn't get to the part about Arnold, but I'm sure it was enlightening.

I'm sure there are plenty of women out there looking to get their mitts on Kobe/Tiger/Arnold's money. Just like there are a lot of scumbag dudes looking to do exactly the same thing. Maybe the next segment of his act was bitching about an epidemic of sleazy, moneygrubbing men out there looking to take advantage of dumb rich guys, but I doubt it.

Anyway, we've seen this act a million times. Johnny Carson bitched about it for years, but at least he was funny, and it actually had something to do with him.

It's hard to be offended by something you see all time time. I guarantee there aren't an army of whores coming over the hill to screw this guy and take all his riches, so really, he's just another sexist dick with a microphone.

But you do seem to have some skin in this game. You seem kinda pissed off that a woman you've never met got some money from a guy who wouldn't speak to you.

Is it something you worry about happening to you? If so, what's your secret?

Show 10,000 people that act and 9,500 would laugh and agree with him and that includes women.

Congratulations,your a minority.
