When asked about the Stanley Cup Tiger said:
“I don’t really care,” he said. “Let’s talk about the Dodgers. “I don’t think anybody really watches hockey any more.”
He could have just said I don’t watch hockey. He doesn’t have to say something like that. Its not like golf is the most fascinating thing to watch on TV. These guys just walk (or ride little cars) around chasing a ball. There is no hitting, fights, not even any running. Their claim to athleticism is hitting the ball farther than the other guy! I’m not trying to bash golf. It does have its place in sports, but for a sport that needs support, this was the wrong thing to say. He is a role model and people listen to him. That is not the kind of press that hockey needs.
Come on Tiger be a little more professional. All athletes need to be careful what they say, including you. If you would have seen the game last night that went into triple overtime, you would have a little more respect for the sport.
Sorry Michelle, I know you’re a big Tiger fan.
