There haven’t really been any golf stars since that transcended golf in fame. He’s not a golf star, he’s a superstar.

It's no different to any sport where a legend has been out of action and returns. Obviously theres going to be a lot of press around him.

one side is way worse, especially with human rights and human decency related topcis, but you're right, it's mostly just politicians. the people who'd be great at it are usually like "fuck that". the shitty people that see an opportunity to use it to get rich are the ones that often end up in politics, unfortunately. and that's shitty about the rail thing, that's actually a thing russia has done many times. the metro station in chelyabinsk is a big example of this. millions of tax money going into it, decades later, still nothing, every so often, when the corrupt want more money, they bring the topic back up, make a big splash in the media about it, get more tax money, rinse and repeat

So glad to hear this news!!! Knowing that the merchant of death is out there is nothing now that I know I can watch my tied for first favorite WNBA player play on my tied for first favorite WNBA franchise. My day is truly so much better after this news.

For our climate at the current rate to kill billions it would take thousands of years. Quit doomsaying

Worst part is we were denied a true goalie fight.....
Gibson was ready. Refs shoulda let them go.
Fights are one thing, but there's just something about a goalie fight

Why would I need a kick in the ass? I just want people to respect a dead guy.
It’s not that hard

clarify what? I asked you a simple question: Do you yourself view yourself as a person that needs a kick in the ass?

Wow, I’d offer you some salve for the burn you just got but it certainly looks like it didn’t hurt at all.
If his marks were meant to be cutting I’d tell him he’d better sharpen the knife because the one being used isn’t fit for butter.

I never said they were 100% equals, I just said that both sides are at fault.

I can't believe you brought up Urban Meyer. Dude was fired because of a scandal.
Here is the bigger point. Thete is not a wide range of bitching when every black coach gets fired.
Oh and btw, there are white coaches people go to bat for who ate given a raw deal. Bisaccia was done wrong last year and people complained about it.

I will say it again. There are a smaller sample size of Black Coaches than white coaches because of the historical discrimination practices of the NFL.
You still don't get it. For a long time black coaches were not even hired. So there is a history here. If you are going to deny that then we can't even have a productive discussion.
In the case of Steve Wilks it's not only that you were fired but who were you fired for. A failed college coach. But let's be real this is not about these individual situations, it's about the history of the NFL purposeful denial of opportunities for black coaches
I also want you to look at the coaches that you just named. I live in Jacksonville and there us no damn way you should throw Urban in that group. He was not even fired for performance on the field. Hacket was in over his head.
Lovie Smith was fired after a 10-6 season. He was fired after one season with a team that had no expectations. Culley was fired after 1 season. The same season you had to let your franchise QB go.
As far as Steve Wilks...... Panthers would not hire him after the great coaching job he did with an organization that went into rebuild mode. Oh and who did they hire? Frank Reich who just got fired from Ondy 😂
I mean come on man, please present all sides to this.
Lastly. I named three coaches that people have brought up.

It's Tiger. He is the story and they're all headlines.

>People complained about Steve Wilks because he got one year.
did those same people also complain about marty schottenheimer, cam cameron, jim mora, mike mularkey, chip kelly, urban meyer, nathaniel hacket (to name a few) only getting one year as well?
more white coaches than black coaches have been one and done in the NFL (point being that it happens to everyone), so why are we perpetuating this narrative that black coaches are specifically getting the short end of the stick? this entire discussion is rooted in emotion. there's zero evidence which proves what you're suggesting is the truth.
conversely, if black coaches were only hired a handful of times throughout the league's history and all of them were one and done, that would make your argument appear more compelling. all it looks like currently is nitpicking to push an agenda.

First and foremost rip Atsu. Out of curiosity I searched his clubs Instagram... and it was heartbreaking to see multiple post regarding members of their team who have passed due to the earthquake including a 14 year old and 15 year old. A lot of these soccer/football/futbol clubs have youth teams... so sad.

Golf needs Tiger, it hasn’t been the same without him, and likely never will be.

After all these years he’s still a blast to watch. The fact that he’s still competitive is incredibly impressive

Because teams aren’t going to chat with other teams about why they didn’t hire them

But it’s not equal dude. Both sides are bad. One side is much worse.

I get the history. but you can't keep reaching for the past to justify the present. none of this matters. your points are purely speculative. how about we actually prove racism before we start saying that's what it is.
