Travesty. Clearly, Lance Armstrong is the athelete of the century
because he's actually an athelete.

Golfers aren't atheletes.

It might be too early to say definitively, but there seems to be a trend
emerging. First Obama Then Woods. Who will get the next prize.

Are you suggesting this because they are both black? Seems to be the
only common thread of the two.

Heavens no, Loogie. That would be racist. Surely you can think of a non
race related similarity to the awards.

Funny, being open minded as I am, the first thing that struck me was two
folks who got prizes they may not have deserved in comparison to the
competition... Never even thought of the color thing till you mentioned
it..

Kind of puts Loogie in the same boat with Harry, doesn't it. Racists,
both of them.

I wouldn't put Loogy in the same boat as Harry. I'm not that cruel.
But Loogy does come up with some strange associations at times.

John, in the past you have made many many bigoted remarks. Show me one
I've made.

"Are you suggesting this because they are both black? Seems to be the

Taken out of context, that could be considered bigoted. Mr. Woods does
not consider himself a "black" American as he is of mixed
race/ethnicity, but because his skin color is brown and of relatively
the same hue and tone as President Obama, you assumed he considered
himself a Black American - you've stereotyped Mr. Woods as an African
American when he isn't - by his own description.

To carry this even further as an intellectual exercise, bigoted may be
the wrong word as bigoted is defined as "utterly intolerant of any
creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own" which seems a
little out of context.

A better way to have put it would be to substitute biased for bigoted
because bias leads to prejudice which is described as "a person's bias
is based on facts, but prejudice occurs without a person knowing or
examining the facts".

Thus, you are actually prejudiced because you assumed that Mr. Woods
is black.

Just sayin.

Although I did find it mighty interesting that Mr. Woods only "dated"
white women a majority of which were blond.

If THAT isn't stereotypical, I don't know what is. :)

Oh, and before you go all icky balooky, the above was done in jest - a
way to point out the absurdity of placing everything into the
perspective of "race".

Yeah, kind of like that other guy this morning with his "you guys"
painting a huge group of us with one brush as the nutty group he married
into... grin.

I still like that other guy though, I do trust he is being honest and
probably more informed than I

Why would an open minded person think that Woods is undeserving of the
award? He is by far the best golfer out there, an brings in billions
to the sport.
