bingo.

good answers to Chem's post

Lost in all this are these skanks who knew he was married and with newborns and now are trying to profit from spreading their legs for him.

Lessons to be learned by all:

don't cheat
don't beat your cheating spouse.
don't cheat with ppl you know that are in relationships.

nice post

Originally posted by Orko Daly also smoked on the courses, swore like crazy, and was shaking from going through detox while playing a round. Not exactly similar incidents. The sports world was over reacting to Tiger's anger (at himself) earlier in the year, that was unfair. This was the right response by the PGA. The cops have concluded their investigation, nothing criminal. Cheating is a civil matter, to be handled in court between him and his wife. The PGA has absolutely no jurisdiction as a sports governing body.

Daly still smokes on the course and still swears....many golfers smoke and all golfers swear on the course. There are moral clauses that golfers have to follow...just like with contracts players sign in other sports.

Tiger will get a free pass simply because he is tiger....When the name and face of the PGA Tour is a lying and cheating scumbag something needs to be done. I guarantee other golfers and the PGA knew what was going on and 1. they told tiger to keep it on the down low or 2. said nothing and just let tiger be tiger.

So if you cheat on your wife you should be fired from your job?

There are no moral clauses within my job.

once again - PGA has no business in his marital affairs
and I'm sure if they tried to stick their noses into it, they'd be slapped with a law suit

srsly Chem, you're totally off-tangent here

I'm not so sure that Chemy is off base... There is a PGA Code of Ethics, which does make reference to the Rules of Professional Conduct. Unfortunately, I cannot locate the "Rule" so I cannot determine if there is a morality clause; however, I did find this quote from the Rules of Professional conduct that does suggest off-course conduct is an area of concern for the PGA.

quote:

"The name 'Professional Golfer' must be and remain a synonym and pledge of honor, service and fair dealing. His professional integrity, fidelity to the game of golf, and a sense of his great responsibility to employers and employes, manufacturers and clients, and to his brother professionals, transcends thought of material gain in the motives of the true profes-sional golfer."

^ to me that clearly only extends as far as his professional behaviour, so I could argue that basically what he does in his spare time is his business, as long as it doesn't put a shadow on PGA and his image as a proffesional

lol, may as well suspend 90% of pro athletes

what about what's his name, Alex Rodrigez? lol wasn't he totally unfaithfull to his wife?

I'm certain that a big chunk of their wives cheat as well, pro's always attract ho's as well, and sometimes they foolishly marry those types too.

Wait, I just quoted myself?

What he does in his personal life, which isn't that personal because he is a famous athlete, affects his employer, manufacturers, clients and fellow professional golfers.

When you are the top dog in your business and responsible for bring in billions of dollars to the PGA, Sponsors, Other Golfers, etc then there has to be consequences for your actions in your professional life.

All professional athlete contracts have moral clauses...just like their sponsorship deals.

This is right from the PGA Code of Ethics

quote:

Section 8. Misconduct and Minor Misconduct The standards of professional conduct to be observed by members and apprentices of the Association are not limited to the observance of rules and avoidance of prohibited acts, and the enumeration herein of certain categories of misconduct as constituting grounds for discipline shall not be deemed to be all-inclusive nor shall the failure to specify any particular act of misconduct be construed as tolerance thereof. The commission by a member or apprentice of any act that is unlawful or contrary to honesty and professional integrity, whether the act is committed in the course of the member�s or apprentice�s actions as a PGA Golf Professional or otherwise, whether committed within or outside the member�s or apprentice�s Section, and whether or not the act is a felony or misdemeanor, may constitute a cause for discipline.

Chemy quoted where the Code of Ethics extends beyond the game itself.

Additionally, disparaging his own reputation in part disparages the reputation of the Association and of the sponsers, which that section quoted from the Rules of Professional Conduct clearly states is unacceptable.

Do I think he should be professionally accountable for his personal actions... that doesn't really matter; the Association does. This lends weight to what Chemy's saying... the PGA will not do anything to hurt the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Kobe is off the hook officially!

Reality is...most women who marry professional athletes know full well shit like this will happen and does happen...for the most part they are marrying them for money, fame, and life luxury.

quote:

I would say "can happen" but of course some women delude themselves thinking that they are "the one". Anytime you have a bunch of men together bad things can happen: they can be army guys, pro athletes, senators, fratboys, businessmen, bachelors, clubbers

Negative behaviour is quite often reinforced (and accepted) through peer groups. Many women are no different in this capacity. If a guy wants to know if his woman is dirty, sometimes all it takes is a glimpse at her social circle.

You can bet Tiger's circle (which may include a few golfers) condoned such behaviour and probably did the same things.

as a golfer, I respect and I'm in awe of his abilities to play golf but for me personally, he is the worst thing to happen to golf.
