Question

Who is greater sportsman Tiger Woods or Lance Armstrong?

Answer 1

You can't compare a golfer to a cyclist.

Answer 2

Jerry West.

Answer 3

LANCE ARMSTRONG whoops ***

Answer 4

Tiger.  Lance was all hepped up on male hormones.  (Tested pos, as well as having testicular cancer)  Hormones don't really help in golf, besides Tiger's record goes back to the time he was barely 3 yrs old, and was on TV talk shows.

Answer 5

Lance

Lance grew up with a single mother, in a rather poor community.

He won his first bike race on a beat up bike he fixed up himself.

As everyone knows, he was won the tour 7 times, and overcome testicular cancer

Answer 6

LANCE ARMSTRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope nobody says Tiger Woods. Cycling is the toughest sport out there. They have to ride over 100 miles per day on huge steep mountain roads going very fast. THen, they have to do it the next day, and the next, until the day is over. Golf takes precision,but it is nothing like bike racing, I know from expirience in both bicycle racing and golf (okay, minigolf).

To win the Tour de France, the hardest bike race in the world SEVEN TIMES in a row, after battling cancer, is an amazing feat. He was up agaisnst amazing bicyclists that most americans have never heard of like Joseba Beloki, Jan Ullrich, and Carlos Sastre.

Answer 7

Lance Armstrong

It takes more effort to bike all that distance than to swing at a ball with a club. With Lance, he is not only a great athlete, but an inspiration for those with cancer, due to him cycling and having testicular cancer. Lance has put more effort, and been through harsher times, and is an inspiration as well.

Answer 8

Define "sportsman" and I'll let you know.

In print, the term seems to be more generally applied to hunting and fishing.   I'm not aware that Lance or Tiger does much of either.

IMHO, golf is a game, not a sport.  Before you golfers get all over me, I LIKE golf.   I do it on my rest days from triathlon training.
