Tiger, Tiger, Tiger...

... what did a little bit of ice do to you? Is it the fact that it's white? I mean seriously.. for a public sports figure to make such an ignorant comment is just ridiculous. If you don't know what Im talking about, you can peep this. Last Monday, Tiger was asked who he thought would win the Stanley Cup... his response : "I don't really care. I don't think anyone watches hockey anymore, do they?"

First off, Hockey may not be as popular in the U.S. as other sports like football or baseball, but this years Stanley Cup ratings show that many people indeed still do watch hockey. NBC had the highest ratings since 2003 for the cup finals this year.

Second, take that sport you call golf and take it to Canada, Europe or Asia and see how many people care. Bet more care about hockey in those places than they do about people hitting a ball with a crooked stick.

Third, as a public sports figure and someone who makes their living off sports, don't you think you should pick your words a little more carefully? No matter if the statement is true or false, you have an image to uphold. And if you don't try to maintain that image by silencing your run-on-mouth, then you are basically giving the sports world a big old middle figure, while patting yourself on the back with the other hand.

Its ok Tiger, the laugh will come when the NHL invited you to a game next year, and you make a public comment apologizing for your remarks.
