Wait a second ie: Woods scalius Send a noteboard - 11/03/2010 04:17:44 PM
They can tear down a politician or entertainer with immpunity, and undermine a player whose reputation depends a large part on media hype, such as Woods or Bryant (at that stage in his career) or Vick.


Exactly what "reputation" are you referring to here?

I would like to assume that you mean his "good boy image"?

But the way you worded that (w/ the extra comment on Bryant and including Vick) leads me to believe you are referring to Woods actual career reputation. Which would be ridiculous of course. If you're going to argue that Woods career reputation as the greatest golfer ever is a product of "media hype", then I have to call serious BS.

If however, you were referring to his "image" as hyped by the media, then I could agree partially. After all, it appears even the media had no idea of Woods exploits off the course. If Stevie didn't know (and there's no reason to not believe him) then it's easy to accept that media-hacks didn't know. Woods was ultra private, and it's not implausible to think that aside from a very few (Woods and the gals) his actions were unknown.
I would slave, to pave the way, to sink your ship of fools.

The only thing is, the other sexual allegation case is still ongoing-- so we can't call false yet Guava - 11/03/2010 07:22:03 PM 563 Views
