(Posted without comment) Tiger Woods on Traitor don "We all must respect the office"

[Va Lefty]

"When pressed about some people being threatened by Trump "and his policy,'' as well as Woods' seemingly friendly relationship with the president, Woods said:"

"Well, he's the president of the United States. You have to respect the office. No matter who is in the office, you may like, dislike personality or the politics, but we all must respect the office.''

"Asked if he had any more to say about the state and discourse of race relations, Woods said: "No. I just finished 72 holes and am really hungry.''

1. Like they did Obama and Clinton.

Eyeroll.

[Rorey]

15. Good point NT

[jpljr77]

24. To be fair to Tiger, HE did respect the office with all previous presidents. He can speak only for..

himself on this, and his actions match perfectly across administrations.

He's playing golf with the officeholder, not the man.

2. .

16. They are both thinking he's just another minority.

If Tiger only knew.

[NurseJackie]

42. Eric Trump reminds me of the "Humperdoo" character from AMC's "Preacher"

[ismnotwasm]

44. That's one of my favorite comics

I should try harder with the series—only watched a couple.

[CatMor]

3. The one who doesn't respect the office is trump.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

4. STFU Tiger Woods!

[brucefan]

5. A Real Jackie Robinson

That Tiger Woods.

[SallyHemmings]

6. Oh to live in the raified air in a gated community

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. The $$$$$$$$$$$ only respect the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

But despite this, Woods was worth an estimated $740 million in 2016 and is one of the highest-paid athletes of all time.Aug 15, 2018,

Tiger woods is telling us what we must respect? .He doesn't speak for me! ...How perfectly ironic, birds of a feather flock together and all that ..this guy who cheated on his wife wth over how many women in his short term marriage? He s defending the odious traitor, sexual predator, pervert really--of course he [woods] would. If this is what wealth buys you, a pic with a white supremacist, golfing with a corrupt criminal, abductor of 3000 refugee children then I'd rather be poor. Frankly, I don't care one way or another what he thinks, does..do you?

8. Respecting the office requires us to cleanse the filth from it.

And Woods can shove his 72 holes in another hole.

[Blue_Tires]

9. Woods (like his idol Jordan before him) has always refused

to mix politics or other touchy subjects with his sport... I don't know what that reporter was expecting him to say, or why he'd deviate from the official canned answer at this point in his life....

[SHRED]

10. They both "value" marriage about the same

So there's that.

[PatSeg]

11. Wow

Does he really think this is about personality or politics? I didn't think my opinion of Tiger Woods could get much lower, but I was wrong.

[Hortensis]

12. Trump requires a change in how we respect the office.

Before, I also felt honoring our democracy required a certain amount of restraint and dignity in criticizing its current holder.

Trump is different. Respecting this presidency that should never have happened would dishonor the office, our nation, and ourselves in much the same way applying that principle to a cockroach who was elevated to the oval office would.

[marylandblue]

13. He doesn't want Trump to ban him from his golf courses

[Rorey]

14. I DO respect the Office

Which is why it's so abhorrent to me that that family is anywhere near it.

[phylny]

17. When my husband watches golf, I always ask him how Tiger is doing.

When I find out he screwed something up, I cheer.

Can't stand him.

[monmouth4]

29. I only watch golf if Tiger is playing..n/t

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. :

[brush]

28. George Carlin always got it right. He left too soon.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

30. No question! ✌🏻

[jcgoldie]

19. As soon as Trump starts respecting the office then we can talk about others doing so Tiger...

How can you respect someone with no self respect, president or not?

[PCIntern]

21. He played 72 holes of strenuous golf

And you could see he was winded and out of breath like those NBA and NHL players are after a game.

Entitled Fuckwad.

[Va Lefty]

22. He played 72 holes over FOUR days!

18 each on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

[PCIntern]

38. No human being could possibly play more

Strenuous golf than Tiger!!

Gotta rest him or his heart will give out.

Justrecall that one of his girlfriends said she felt like a rag doll after one of their sessions together.

[RhodeIslandOne]

23. Eldrick can go fuck himself

I’m sure he admires Donnie’s porn star game.

[ScratchCat]

25. The fact is that Tiger

Does not want to publicly be involved in politics or social issues. Most people respect this about him and don't go there.

[unblock]

35. why is this something anyone should respect?

if he declined to hang out with politicians and completely avoided the topic of politics, ok, maybe.

but hanging out with donnie; and, when asked about it, to say we have to support the office even if we disagree with its current occupant, that's not avoiding politics at all.


and refusing to comment on race relations is an abdication of social responsibility. in fact, he's practicing his own brand of politics -- avoiding offending his pal donnie.


absolutely nothing to respect about that.

[rzemanfl]

26. I wonder what Pecker has on him in his safe....

[malaise]

27. Tiger is a great golfer but a complete moron -

-an empty head with no convictions.

[brush]

32. Yeah. It's disappointing. You'd think he would've learned after how he was treated...

during his scandals.

[malaise]

36. Good point

Sadly he never learned - always thought he was above the fray. Great game, lousy human being.

[bdamomma]

31. fuck that

not a illegitimate president not me no way.

[Johonny]

33. I turns out, you don't have to respect the office. He's thinking of Russia

where they kill you if you don't respect the office.

[ck4829]

41. +1

[hibbing]

34. Tiny hands took this as an endorsement n/t

[matt819]

37. Hey, Tiger Woods

Did you hear about the flag at the WH no longer at half staff?

You wanna talk about respect?

You hypocrite.

[erpowers]

39. Not Going to Criticize Tiger Woods

I am not going to criticize Tiger Woods for saying we should respect the office of the Presidency. I actually agree with him on that point. However, I do wish he had no said he did not want to say anything more because he was hungry. I would have preferred it if he said he did not feel he was qualified, or in the right position to talk about such issues.

[ck4829]

45. That's OK, I will

Respect for the office of the Presidency doesn't pay my bills, it doesn't ensure my nephew with a rare disease gets the care he needs, it doesn't protect the GLBTQ-Americans, Muslim-Americans, and immigrant-Americans that I love and are part of my family, it doesn't do anything for me, and I'm sure it doesn't do anything for you either.

A person can gain and lose our respect, so there is no reason why some abstract office that is held by one man, with symbolic meanings attached to it, with others in supporting roles, and others who vet it should be exempted from being able to lose our respect. And right now it's at a big negative, not just with me, but with a growing segment of America... and we shouldn't be afraid to say it.

America is more than the office of POTUS. Much more. It's time we focus on that.

[Solly Mack]

40. There's gonna be a Leave Tiger Alone video soon.

Trust the President

Leave Britney Alone

[ck4829]

43. I'm good Tiger, I'll respect who and what I want to respect, thanks.

[ploppy]

46. I seem to remember

Tiger Woods refusing to visit the White House after he won the Masters. He said something snotty like - why would Clinton want to meet him now that he won and not before.

[AncientGeezer]

47. Why are poliical questions being asked at sporting events?

Can't we just watch sports with out politics being a topic on the greens, courts, fields, pitches....let our players play...they aren't political science majors.. they are adults that play a game for a living.
