Is it really being racist to say that I don't like that Tiger Woods is dominating men's golf?

Question

Isn't that a stretch?

Answer 1

if your only reason is because hes black it is if its because u dont like him always winning or just dont like him for any reason other than his color then its ok and not racist but if its cuz hes black u are being racist

Answer 2

Lots of players on the Pga Tour probly feel the same way. But the bottom line is that he is the best out there. Golf is an individual sport and if you want to beat Tiger..practice,practice,practice!! He does and it pays off. So nobody can complain. If you think you can beat him, just prove it with your game.

Answer 3

It is not racist unless you are basing your opinion on the color of his skin.  People who say it is a racist belief are just very small minded.

Answer 4

No you  are no more of a racist as any one else saying this.  ehehehehe.  Tiger probably wouldn't be dominating men's golf this year at all.  He probably wanted to stay off a few times just to be with his little girl , love her and watch her grow with his nanny wife.  But he had to come out and prove  how good HE IS because of the Kelly Tilghman remark.

Answer 5

only if you don't like him dominating because of his race, if you don't like him for other reasons it's not.

How can you not love to watch Tiger though.

Answer 6

Only YOU would know that for sure.  So ask yourself, deep down, the real reason why you don't like it.  Dig deep.

Answer 7

Racism is defined as making a judgement based on someone's race.  If that is why you don't like him then you are being racist.

Answer 8

It's not called "racism"; it's called jealousy!

Answer 9

No, it would depend on the reason why you don't like that Tiger Woods is dominating men's golf.

Answer 10

I think that you know the answer to your question.

Answer 11

No, but because of our emphasis on political correctness you're better off not to say anything.

Answer 12

Of course not and your opinion is not racist.  Having one person dominate a sport so much as he does gets a little boring after a while.

Answer 13

I don't think so.  The only way your statement would be racist is if you were saying it because he is half African-American or half Asian.

Answer 14

In order to answer that question, I would have to know what you don't like about it?

As a player, I truly appreciate golf and it's level of difficulty.  All of those guys on tour have extraordinary skills.  With Tiger, I personally think I am witnessing history and greatness. To see the things that he does on the course is truly amazing.  It's not like he doesn't hit bad shots.  He just makes the tough shots look easy and they are far from it.  It you are a true fan, how can you not like it.

To not like what he is doing is almost like saying:

1."Boston Celtics have too many championships (17), so they should win anymore.

2. Hank Arron hit too many home runs.

3. Jerry Rice caught too many passes.

4.  Emmit Smith ran for too many yards.

5.  Joe Montana came through too many time in the clutch.

6.  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored too many point.

7.  Wilt Chamberlain shot too many time when he scored 100.

8.  Mark Spitz won too many gold medal for one Olympic game.

9.  Nolan Ryan struck out too many batters.

10.  Byron Nelson won too many tournament in a row.

All those events made history.  Without them, it would be just a silly game.

Answer 15

no not unless you dont want him to win becasue of the color of his skin. it sounds like you just want other people to win and would be okay if a guy like vijay singh were to win.

Answer 16

no...alot of people are tired of watching tiger rule,but on the other hand you should appreciate what you are seeing and enjoy it things like this does not come around often and instead of hating you should be glad you are alive to witness the greatest player past present,and future.

Answer 17

That depends on your reasons why you don't like Tiger Woods dominating men's golf.  If it is because of his skin color, then yes it is.
