Tiger Woods Separates with Caddie Steve Williams

When I first read this piece of news, I was like, so what? Big deal. I mean, a caddie is a caddie, right? When you fire your babysitter, does that make the news? I bet that even if it was Angelina Jolie’s maid, it would not make the news, right?

Well, I never really thought about how glorified caddies are when I read that golfers do indeed spend more time with their caddies more than anyone else, even their families. So if a die-hard caddie like Steve Williams will no longer be serving woods, golf enthusiasts would really wonder why. By the way, Williams has been with Woods for 13 years. He only had a temporary stint with another golfer when Woods was injured and I guess he needed a job.

So anyway, that is the deal and it was even announced officially on Woods’ website. Well, that is okay. I don’t really care about it.

All I want to say, “Tsk. tsk. Tiger Woods.”

Winter Olympics Saves February

For sports fans, no sports coverage on TV is just plain boring. And many people are very thankful that there is the Winter Olympics this February because there are many exciting sporting events on ice. I love the events! I have been watching the coverage on Solar Sports, though not continuously, but I am entertained.

But what I cannot understand are the people who caused a riot because they are against the Olympics being held in Vancouver. I cannot really understand the general sentiment against the Olympics. I know that whenever the torch goes, there is some sort of raucous. I wonder why is that.

I think that the Olympics is a very good avenue for sportsmen to show off their skills and engage in a friendly competition against other nations. Why the hostility?
