The skirt incident was in 2005, yes I had to Google it. I suspect Sorentam is embarrassed by it now, a different time. I certainly very much doubt any of the current crop of female golfers, top 20-30 for example, would do the same or would find the Tiger incident funny. It demeans them and the equality / respect they are trying to achieve. If people are bringing out historical gags to back their point. I'm going to watch Gold and screen shot a clip from The Sweeney............that okay?
.I very much doubt Sorenstam is embarrassed by her joke, why should she be? Fred Funk laughed and embraced it. Current golfers wouldn't do the same not because it isn't funny but because of the ridiculous cancel culture we live in today.The skirt incident was in 2005, yes I had to Google it.

I'm not offended by it, but I can see it is very poor. I can't agree that only JT could be offended by it, it really isn't offensive to him, the gag about it is obvious and throwaway. The negativity of the gag is about and towards female golfers. It's blatantly sexist and for a pro to be doing that in a tournament is both poor and incredibly arrogant imo. Tiget is teflon though, just add it to his file and walk on......I tried so hard to stay out of this thread, I was just posting the video because there was a more to it than just giving him a skirt.
With regards to the current Tiger incident, I think that the only person who could take offence at the "joke" was JT, it was aimed at him, and if he didn't get upset by it, then why are we all getting twisted up over it. I was watching the coverage that night and didn't notice it at all, and didn't (or wouldn't) know anything about it until it was raised on here. From my own personal perspective, I am not really offended by much of anything these days, I'm too long in the tooth and have been around the block and seen far too much. That doesn't mean I don't find jokes bad, or inappropriate, it just means I don't give a t*ss, if I don't like it for whatever reason, I'll just move on, ignore it, switch off or not bother watching the comedian again etc. In general I just won't give it traction - and yes I realize there's a certain irony given I'm now posting
I suspect she would be embarrassed now because in the intervening 18 years the world has moved on. Feel free to catch up, or not.
I think you're wrong. Yes the world has moved on but only a certain group of people (those beginning with W or S) are going to be offended at the weaker sex taking the mickey out of the stronger sex.
I don't know how to take that!I think being offended on behalf of other people should attract an infraction. I'm not offended but I'm offended on behalf of those who are offended about you being offended on behalf of those who are offended.
You are right, maybe she is fine with sexist gags? Or, maybe she looks back and cringes. I don't know. If I was putting 50p on it either way though I am fairly sure where my 50p would go.
No problem. Some people have plenty to say but don't have the attention span to read more than one or two sentences.
Yes let’s keep all of the mud-slinging on the Liv thread
Interesting how that thread is suddenly quiet since Tampon-gate popped up
Almost as if it’s not the topic at hand that’s the issue..
WHOOOSH........ Yeah, in fact, he didn't even get it....... I rather knew he wouldn'tNot sure LP will see the funny side of that!!
I think you may have to explain it to the rest of us Dave
