Don, responding to your last 3 posts on Woods.
Beyond his character issues, it's not "Hard to believe he fell so fast, so hard..." His back problems are a common golfer ailment with the constant repetitive asymmetrical swinging of the torso. If his condition required multiple back surgeries, then swinging a golf club is the worst possible thing he could do. He tried to come back too soon, too often after surgery, and has compounded his injuries. You can call that washed up, but it's not because of his intrinsic game, but because his body is injured in the worst possible way for a golfer. If he used PED's they may have contributed to the problem, but PED's didn't make him the sharp shooter he once was. The media idolatry of the magic Negro (? Mama-San didn't count in the racial spoils game) is and has been the usual revolting, groveling, cucky, White virtue signaling. To a lesser degree the pedestal our culture puts ALL athletes on, is out of proportion to the true value of Sports. Sports idolatry has always been a symptom of a spiritually polluted culture. I recognize the truth in these words: 1st Timothy 4:7-8 "...train yourself with godly devotion as your aim. For physical training is beneficial for a little, but godly devotion is beneficial for all things, as it holds promise of the life now, and the life that is to come." Even a non Christian can benefit from the wisdom in those words as life's priorities should be balanced. I'm as guilty as anyone of transgressing that advice.
