This is the problem IMO when people pin their identity on other people or on groups rather than accepting the responsibility for themselves and ONLY for themselves.
He is a PLAYER for sure :)
On a serious note, you can't take THAT away from him. Nothing can.
Yes, he's player of the year. Of course, he's the best golfer out there. I don't know why he wouldn't be, his off the golf course activities are his own business.
It's ridiculous that people get angry at athletes for doing something that doesn't live up to societies "moral" standards (whatever that may be). It's idiotic for people to force athletes to be "roll models".
But, I think OJ should have at least been mentioned at Heisman Trophy ceremonies...why act like he never existed?

The man was declared Not Guilty by a jury of his peers.
He was convicted of kidnapping in a Revenge Trial and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Tolerating this selective prosecution in this OJ case, is a threat to justice everywhere.
Mobb rule.
How long can Tiger be gone from golf before the revenue losses force all kindsa players to beg him to come back to the game?
Not that he'll need that much encouragement. After losing half I bet dude will be playing at a whole other level. I pity the fool that comes between him and replenishing his stacks.
What’s black about making a lot of money for white folks?
The players on the PGA Tour are not dumb. Tiger Woods is their cash cow. The 100th ranked player on the Tour money list for 2009 earned $838,707 in Tour sponsored events. The 200th ranked player earned $130,188.
These players know that purses for PGA Tour events are jacked up because of one person—Tiger Woods. The average person on the Tour knows that “Tiger-gate” can directly affect his livelihood.
OBTW!
[The rehabilitation of Tiger Woods suffered a new setback yesterday when he was linked to a doctor of sports medicine who is being investigated over illegal drugs.
Anthony Galea claims to have visited Woods’ home in Florida on at least four occasions this year to administer a blood platelet replacement treatment in an attempt to speed up the golfer’s recovery from a knee operation in 2008. The therapy, in which the doctor specializes, is not illegal.
However, Dr Galea faces criminal proceedings in his native Canada and an investigation by the FBI for possession of human growth hormones and a banned drug derived from calf’s blood that was found in his bag at the US-Canada border in September, according to The New York Times. ]
Woods will overcome this sex scandal largely because America is a base of the path society. A drug scandal could be a totally different ballgame, because it could have the “Barry Bonds affect” on his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ record for major championships.
That prospect probably has a lot of PGA Tour players concerned for more reasons than one.
First, cheating on his wife...
Now maybe cheating in the sport with HGH?
Guess a cheater's a cheater?

Wasn't our last conversation about the writers voting for Tiger and whether they would have found an excuse to not vote for him if the vote was held after his infidelity became public?
Now we have the PLAYERS voting for him. Don't see how that connects. Players, many of them philanderers themselves, are much less likely to vote based on something outside of the realm of actual performance. Reminds me of when the NBA MVP was voted on by PLAYERS instead of the shammockery we have now with the media.
Point being, game recognizes game. Players know who can play. The media plays a far different game with ever changing rules.
Jellyroll
As far as the HGH allegations, show some proof. It's amazing how white boys can hang out with the scum of the Earth and media falls all over itself to explain that away, but let a black dude have one person come into his life who doesn't check out, and suddenly that's definitive proof. Pooh butt bastards looking for an excuse why Tiger was killing them. Was he on HGH when he first won the Masters in a laugher and forced a complete overhaul of the golf course?
