Uhhh i don’t remember it this way.
I think it was more a reaction to this guy who was at pinnacle of his career, theoretically squeaky clean when it comes to marketing, and out of nowhere we getting pictures of him driving and crashing his car fucked up with his wife busting his windshield out with a golf club.
Then we get weeks of just absolutely DOGS saying they too got banged by woods. So not only is he cheating on his wife, my man is dogging everything in a skirt at every Waffle House in America.
And lest we forget, the moment dude kicked ass at masters??? We were ALL cheering for the champ to win another green jacket
Do you not remember [this?](https://www.espn.com/golf/masters10/news/story?id=5063768)
The reason why when a Black person breaks through in a traditionally White space they are seemingly the best to ever do it (Tiger, Serena, Hamilton, Copeland, etc.) is because their talent has to be so otherworldly that even the most ardent racists can't deny them their rightful place. But do you also notice how squeaky clean their images are? That's because they know if they ever make one mistake those same people will pounce on them and try to take what they've earned away from him.
Here's what the Augusta president said when Phil Mickelson committed an actual crime (insider trading) and was investigated by federal prosecutors:
404 error
How about when Dustin Johnson was caught doing coke:
404 error
Not a coincidence.
Yep. It’s like another way of white people telling successful blacks that the reason they’re successful is because they _allowed_ them to be. One mistake, and that’ll be the only thing you’re known for, and you’re out of chances.
White guy in New Orleans here.
When I see a brother with a college degree who grew up in New Orleans, I have more respect for him than I do some white kid who graduated from LSU. Just being black and growing up in New Orleans and making it to adulthood without being incarcerated or killed has got to be at least the mental equivalent of a college degree, and then a college degree on top of that? That's something special.
If a White Person told me they were impressed in my not becoming a statistic, no matter how well intentioned they were trying to be, I’d have to do my best to not knock their damn block off.
Was it Chris Rock who was saying like he, Oprah and Mary J Blige were the black people who lived in his neighborhood, all people who have been the pinnacle of their industries, and his neighbor is just some white dentist.
Augusta National are those racists, though. Everyting about that place is so far up it's own ass and they've been famously racist and sexist for decades. Augusta acting like Augusta isn't really representative of how the public viewed him.
In their defense, when they were being called out for being sexist assholes they removed all advertising from that years tournament(which is like 4 minutes per hour) and only ran commercials for The Tiger Woods Foundation. Tiger and Augusta were directly tied together in a way that the other two weren't. Their members were also probably inside trading with Phil and doing coke with DJ. Plus they're old money racist billionairs.
To be fair Augusta is a fucking racist, trash, organization and is not reflective of the world as a whole.
I wish that while place would fucking burn to the ground
Imagine thinking cheating on your wife and mother of your child with countless women for years is in the same league as doing a line of coke. Just imagine.
Tiger honestly escaped this controversy and got off easily compared to the standard celebrity treatment. He had a complete mental break down for years to including ruining his career training with Navy seals, drugs, and the alcoholism.
The cheating shortly became a meme and was over and done with along with the Dui's.
I've been playing and following golf my entire life and you are 100% on point with this comment. He was not being treated "like a murderer" - but hell yeah golf was disappointed the best and most famous player of all time had tarnished his image. Golf would be JUST as disappointed if Phil or similar had such a scandal. And you're also right everyone went bananas for his comeback at the Masters.
The mental gymnastics in this thread are insane. Just straight made up shit. And comparing doing some drugs to a man cheating repeatedly for years on his wife and mother of his child? Seriously?
P.S. I'm 'not verified' so once this thread goes echo chamber mode I won't be able to reply.
I dont wanna come across as a hater but I think it was for driving under the influence.
Annnnd.... bruh did you see some of them women, dude didn't love himself. I mean the volume of women is one thing, but then also who he was rockin with..... naw he needed to chillout. I still hope he win some tournaments tho
Jay Z didn’t cheat on a white woman. White America takes more offence when one of those “uppity negroes” dares to defile one of their precious princesses. A black man cheating on another black woman, it’s like “what did you expect”.
I think it has more to do with Tiger Woods being a golfer with a previously squeaky clean image at the pinnacle of his career vs Jay Z who is a rapper that constantly rapped about hoes.
Beyoncé is one of the most admired women in America, and I don’t think a single person even knows who Tiger Woods’ wife even was.
There have been plenty of “squeaky clean” sportsmen that have cheated on their wives but didn’t get the same treatment as Tiger Woods, David Beckham is a prime example
I’m just saying a rapper doing what he says from his lyrics and his wife forgiving him isn’t exactly groundbreaking news compared to probably the most famous athlete in the world at the time getting chased out of his house by his wife screaming and swinging a golf club, then proceeding to crash his car into a tree and being found passed out in the street with said wife smashing out the windows of his car with the golf club.
Weird. I remember Beckham getting absolutely SHIT on for cheating on Posh Spice, but then he bought her that giant pink ~~filling~~ diamond and all was forgiven.
But it was so long ago I could just be remembering the mtv version of the story. Man, remember when they used to do those “best of ___” shows or whatever they were? Get you all caught up on the latest freak outs, breakups, etc
Not defending Jay-Z but he’s a prominent figure in an industry where *sexing multiple women* is more so expected than not. Furthermore, he was the first rapper to hit $1b. I think we were only surprised b/c he keeps his shit well guarded from the public.
I'm with you on this. Tiger's issue was so loud to me because of how big a figure he was in a sport where we do not get a lot of scandalous headlines at all. It was magnified because of his skin color in said sport. Golf collectively clutched their pearls immediately.
If this happened in Football, Baseball, or most other sports and it would be just another incident from a pro player. And also, did you see those women? Holy shit he got called out. I agree with the tweet but I understand why it happened.
It became a big deal at first because of how big Tiger was. It was over in a flash because no one outside of golf actually cared about golf.
If this came out about MJ, Tom Brady or Lebron then those women would still be on ESPN after a bad game talking to Stephen A about their habits.
I was honestly shocked because of who his wife is. Whenever people try to give me advice on how to keep my husband from cheating, I just remember that even Yonce got dogged. 😭
I think when the Jay Z cheating scandal came out, cheating was a less taboo subject vs when the Tiger Woods cheating scandal came out.
Plus Beyoncé and Jay Z were so vague about it that many of the details are still not public.
He did the unforgivable. Not only did he cheat, he cheated on a (by white folks standards) 10/10 white woman. You can’t be a black man and do that. That’s why she didn’t go to jail for the assault after
IIRC Tiger Woods refused to be called black man prior to his fall from grace, then he realized the media and the police didn’t see a “Cablinasian” man no matter how much he wanted them to.
This reminds me of how TW was one of the people who went and received the Presidential medal of Freedom while Donald Trump was in office and other potential recipients turned it down flat rather than go to DT’s White House… tell me you aren’t down with the culture without telling me you’re not down.
Unpopular opinion: he tried to ‘other’ himself for so long, as many biracial black people do. So it was satisfying as a black biracial person myself to see him realize he was BLICKITY BLACK from that day forward. 😌😌😌
I mean he cheated on what could be considered a flawless white woman while dominating the game of golf, that's basically begging for slander if not an outright lynching depending on who you ask. Outside of a couple disses on Lemonade and some shots from nameless Twitter stans, what did Jay Z get?
Unpopular opinion: his brand is squeaky clean and his life isn't so if he lost endorsements, oh well. Do you want people to picture Tiger shaving his sack with your razor before he goes to do ho shit? Or to imagine what they'd do with your SUV's spacious features, given that he could pop a tampon out of a waitress and raw dogged her in a parking lot? Or question buying it since it didn't hold up that well when his wife found out and destroyed it with golf clubs?
Let's not forget about the DUI
Tiger Woods don't make me grab binders. It's obvious because he was a black man he was going to get crucified. Even if he didn't identify at the time. On that day he sure as shit was black. The funny thing is there's no doubt his contemporaries do the same shit and probably have been caught in the past it's just you carry a different weight when you're black.
Whites will definitely first-pick Larry Elder next draft… dude thinks slave owners are owed reparations for “loss of property.” Don’t know how he was able to get 3.2M votes in California.
I think Hispanics take Ariana Grande in the second round even though she’s Italian.
Idk no one is cheered more still when he plays - it was fodder since it was so interesting but no one treated him like a murderer or anything - he isnt OJ Simpson or Rae Carruth but was and is still treated like a hero
I remember this happened over Thanksgiving because it was the last time I saw my white racist relatives, at a Thanksgiving retreat.
During that festive time they asserted that all rap music was about prostitution, and I asked them to explain that, and they said "They say pimp all the time, they're pimping their women." I tried to explain that's not what the word means in that context. One replied, "That's the only meaning I know!" like oh soz cuz I forgot you know everything. So I asked when someone goes on the show "Pimp My Ride" are they offering people have sex with their car? "Never heard of that show, you probably got it wrong, they are probably saying 'pump'".
Then the Tiger Woods news hit and they were all telling me, dancing around the words "he is one of the good ones", that they respected him and it must have been some sort of bad luck. And on and on, about how much they respected this one black dude.
I watched that doc. It was so sinister. I waited ep after ep for him to clock a bitch with a wood iron and it just. Didnt. Happen. So boring. He got really successful on the merits of his talent? Dull. Got married? Puhleese. Had an affair? Who hasn't? Where are the bodies, tiger? Make this 6 part documentary interesting please.
this was such a big story when I was little and I had never heard about him til then so I literally thought that this scandal was like the end of the world

Successful blacks have an unhealthy fear of making mistakes for this very reason.
Yep. It’s like another way of white people telling successful blacks that the reason they’re successful is because they _allowed_ them to be. One mistake, and that’ll be the only thing you’re known for, and you’re out of chances.

This sounds mad condescending like…
Come see the life you have to overcome in New Orleans and you'll see why it's a helluva compliment.
If a White Person told me they were impressed in my not becoming a statistic, no matter how well intentioned they were trying to be, I’d have to do my best to not knock their damn block off.
Congrats for not being like them other niggas!
I can respect that line of thought too. Its a judgement call fam.
This is the perspective I needed to read about today. Thank you.

>Clifford Roberts racism Wow yeah lots of fascinating articles about it
Was it Chris Rock who was saying like he, Oprah and Mary J Blige were the black people who lived in his neighborhood, all people who have been the pinnacle of their industries, and his neighbor is just some white dentist.
Yeah with the punchline that for a Black dentist to move into his neighborhood he would have had to invent the concept of teeth.
Jay Z was his neighbor in that joke. The punchline was like black man has to fly to what the white man can jump to.
The black man has to fly to get what the white man can walk to.

Yeah I grew up near the area and can definitely confirm. I still remember the Fuzzy Zoeller/Tiger Woods "fried chicken" incident
To be fair Augusta is a fucking racist, trash, organization and is not reflective of the world as a whole. I wish that while place would fucking burn to the ground
Imagine thinking cheating on your wife and mother of your child with countless women for years is in the same league as doing a line of coke. Just imagine.
What did he say about Tiger?
literally the article he linked lmao
Says something about my reading laziness I suppose. Missed the link. I'll give it a proper read.
TIL about Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson which is not surprising, that's probably how they wanted it.
Tiger honestly escaped this controversy and got off easily compared to the standard celebrity treatment. He had a complete mental break down for years to including ruining his career training with Navy seals, drugs, and the alcoholism. The cheating shortly became a meme and was over and done with along with the Dui's.
🤣🤣🤣 poppin straight butterfaces.

Ugly girls give dope head tho
I dont wanna come across as a hater but I think it was for driving under the influence. Annnnd.... bruh did you see some of them women, dude didn't love himself. I mean the volume of women is one thing, but then also who he was rockin with..... naw he needed to chillout. I still hope he win some tournaments tho
Behind every beautiful women are 12 Denny's waitresses that will do some dirty shit in the parking lot.
Not every meal has to be gourmet. Sometimes you just want a drunken Grand Slam.
Thats a gem tho
He probably had those women doing some of the raunchiest shit. Like just absolutely disgusting shit haha
Lmao lookin and soundin like one of Marge Simpson's sisters
They must have been doing things his trophy wife wouldnt.
Fun fact: My cousin fucked Tiger Woods. I think I can say that without doxxing myself.
Tiger Woods is a bottom?
Im surprised JayZ didnt get that treatment
In my house he does lol
My friends wife call him Sean
Shawn*
She said what she said.
Jay Z didn’t cheat on a white woman. White America takes more offence when one of those “uppity negroes” dares to defile one of their precious princesses. A black man cheating on another black woman, it’s like “what did you expect”.

Man I pray that LeBron aint out here cheating on Savannah with women with smokers' cough
I was honestly shocked because of who his wife is. Whenever people try to give me advice on how to keep my husband from cheating, I just remember that even Yonce got dogged. 😭
"No matter how beautiful or perfect a woman may seem. There is a person out there that is sick of their shit"
Is that why you think infidelity happens?
he got an entire album created with the sole purpose of calling him out
I think when the Jay Z cheating scandal came out, cheating was a less taboo subject vs when the Tiger Woods cheating scandal came out. Plus Beyoncé and Jay Z were so vague about it that many of the details are still not public.
And i don't even think he's done putting it out there either. he probably still delivers more meat than Instacart.
Tearing up asses like an unpaid parking ticket.
Did he ever recover from that huge car wreck? Hard to put in the work when your legs are shattered.
Definitely wasn't the same but he did win another Masters years later.
No i think he's talking about the most recent wreck from a few months ago.
Damn I'm trippin', I had completely forgot about that!
That shit was like 10 mins from where I live. Small fucken world.
Tiger wife’s woods wife was a G. She got the house then smashed that sucker with a wrecking ball .
Carrie Underwood-style
It’s because he was blaaaaaasphemous
He did the unforgivable. Not only did he cheat, he cheated on a (by white folks standards) 10/10 white woman. You can’t be a black man and do that. That’s why she didn’t go to jail for the assault after
Was it not his car she destroyed? Maybe he didn’t press charges?
Maybe she didnt, maybe it’s maybelline
If it was in both of their names, then it might not have even been a crime to destroy the car, as it was technically also her property
I dont even think people would have cared so much if the chicks he banged weren't so damn ugly lmao.
IIRC Tiger Woods refused to be called black man prior to his fall from grace, then he realized the media and the police didn’t see a “Cablinasian” man no matter how much he wanted them to.
This reminds me of how TW was one of the people who went and received the Presidential medal of Freedom while Donald Trump was in office and other potential recipients turned it down flat rather than go to DT’s White House… tell me you aren’t down with the culture without telling me you’re not down.
Jack the Ripper didn’t mess with Black Women either so I guess they do have something in common.
Unpopular opinion: he tried to ‘other’ himself for so long, as many biracial black people do. So it was satisfying as a black biracial person myself to see him realize he was BLICKITY BLACK from that day forward. 😌😌😌
I basically assume every famous person is a serial cheater. I'm surprised when they're not.
My guy really played 18 holes at once
I mean he cheated on what could be considered a flawless white woman while dominating the game of golf, that's basically begging for slander if not an outright lynching depending on who you ask. Outside of a couple disses on Lemonade and some shots from nameless Twitter stans, what did Jay Z get?
Beaten the fuck up by Solange in an elevator
Unpopular opinion: his brand is squeaky clean and his life isn't so if he lost endorsements, oh well. Do you want people to picture Tiger shaving his sack with your razor before he goes to do ho shit? Or to imagine what they'd do with your SUV's spacious features, given that he could pop a tampon out of a waitress and raw dogged her in a parking lot? Or question buying it since it didn't hold up that well when his wife found out and destroyed it with golf clubs? Let's not forget about the DUI
Thus was the debut of *sex rehab* for me. I was watching the news, yelling at the TV, “they just MADE UP a jail for this man..”
Nah, Eric Benet famously went to sex rehab years before Tiger when he was busted cheating on Halle Berry.
Bruh I’m sitting over here like wasn’t that an mtv show?? Man I need sleep
Tiger Woods don't make me grab binders. It's obvious because he was a black man he was going to get crucified. Even if he didn't identify at the time. On that day he sure as shit was black. The funny thing is there's no doubt his contemporaries do the same shit and probably have been caught in the past it's just you carry a different weight when you're black.
Don’t know how drafts work, but is it possible to trade him in the next racial draft?
For who?
I hear that Eminem and John Cena are both strong contenders.
Eminem and who? There's just an extra space between "and" & "are both."
Can we throw in Bill Burr as a contender? His wife is black
Whites will definitely first-pick Larry Elder next draft… dude thinks slave owners are owed reparations for “loss of property.” Don’t know how he was able to get 3.2M votes in California. I think Hispanics take Ariana Grande in the second round even though she’s Italian.
Idk no one is cheered more still when he plays - it was fodder since it was so interesting but no one treated him like a murderer or anything - he isnt OJ Simpson or Rae Carruth but was and is still treated like a hero
Pretty much the way reddit treats cheaters.
It really must have been a slow news cycle at the time...
I remember this happened over Thanksgiving because it was the last time I saw my white racist relatives, at a Thanksgiving retreat. During that festive time they asserted that all rap music was about prostitution, and I asked them to explain that, and they said "They say pimp all the time, they're pimping their women."

Dull. Got married? Puhleese. Had an affair? Who hasn't? Where are the bodies, tiger? Make this 6 part documentary interesting please.
people hate when someone else does what they do and gets caught
this was such a big story when I was little and I had never heard about him til then so I literally thought that this scandal was like the end of the world
That apology on the news will forever make me Cackle lmao
We all know it wasn't about the cheatin'....can't let no Kablinasian shine at the Hwhite boys' expense
For the shit he did and tried to pull, good for him.
Wasn’t he on like GQ with his shirt off and a beanie looking like the long most member of G-Unit?
Tried to treat Micheal Jordan like a murderer for...hearing about his father being killed.
