IS TIGERS WOODS GAY?


On Friday, February 19, 2010 Tiger Woods re-emerged into public life, issuing an apology for cheating on one of the most beautiful women in the world, his wife, Elin Woods. “I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did was not acceptable.” I personally did not think that Tiger owed anyone an apology other than his wife. He certainly did not owe me an apology I didn’t care. I believe his private life is his business. 

I met with the street committee at Church’s Fried Chicken on Fairview Avenue in Montgomery, Alabama and the reaction to Tiger’s news conference was mixed. There is nothing like public opinion in the Hood! One lady, who refused to give her name for this article complained about missing her show. She said that now days when you see Breaking News come across the T V screen it really isn’t breaking news. She went on to say, “ He shouda married a sista, he wouldn’t need all those white women!” First thang a black man does when he get a piece of money is go and get him some white tail.”  “It’s a shame and disgrace.” “Now me, I could show him a trick or two.” “If he had been married to a sista, it wouldn’t be no press conference, he’d be dead!” I then said, He doesn’t consider himself black. She said, “He betta look in the mirror.” “They show treating him like he’s black.” I said, You don’t think it’s racial do you? She said, “Do you see John Edwards standing on TV apologizing to the public for cheating on his dying wife. He ran for President.” “These white folks are a mess. You can’t go so high that they can’t bring your butt down.” “Rich and famous and standing up in front of millions of white folks talking about he sorry, Negro Please!" The whole thang makes me sick to my stomach.” “Yall a learn one day!” “White women, White women. If he divorces this one he betta come down to Alabama and get him a sista. She’ll take care of those needs” “He don’t need no sex addiction clinic, he just needs the right woman, like yours truly.” Considering that she looked like homemade soap with three teeth in her mouth, I don’t think this lady will have a chance. 

Just as I finished talking to the lady that looked like homemade soap, in walked Dr. Wa Wa Woo, a nickname given to him by me. I love talking to him because he has an opinion about everything. Dr. Wa Wa Woo opined that Tiger was in fact gay, but unaware that he was gay. Pray tell I said. Dr. Wa Wa Woo said, “it is evident by the fact that he can not be satisfied sexually with his beautiful wife and therefore he runs behind several beautiful white women ruining his reputation. He does not have a sex addiction problem. Your boy Tiger is just sticking his Tiger in the wrong tank!” Dr. Wa Wa Woo, also known as the “Hood Drunk” sometimes raises some interesting questions. Dr. Wa Wa Woo’s theory is that Tiger can not be satisfied by a woman and does not understand why. He thinks that Tiger is gay and simply does not realize it.  

I don’t agree with Dr. Wa Wa Woo, but I do think that there is more to all of this than meets the eye and ear. My thoughts and prayers go out to Tiger and his family. I hope that through this ordeal that Tiger will turn from his wicked ways and seek God. He is in such a wonderful position to praise God. On this day he should chose who he will serve: God or Golf! I recommend that Tiger and Elin go on a couple’s retreat with that smiling preacher and his wife. You know Joel and Victoria Olsteen. He will never stray again.
