Welcome everyone to “Overblown, Out-of-Context Theatre,” the blog where we take a random snippet of conversation from someone famous, and make a huge issue where none really exists. Today, we take a look at a recent comment made by Tiger Woods, on the passing of golf great Byron Nelson.
When asked about his memories of Byron Nelson, here’s something Tiger Woods had to say:
“He was so alert and so sharp, even late in his ages. I mean, he would have a very articulate conversation with you, and you don’t find that with people at his age, being that sharp and that witty.”
Woods once again shows his callous disregard for the elderly when he makes comments such as these. In effect, he is saying that all people 90 and over are doddering idiots.
The only possible solution is to have all people 90 and older boycott all companies represented by Tiger Woods. Only when .0000000001 percent of his earnings disappear will he truly understand the harm he has done. Say goodbye to that grain of sand you were thinking of purchasing, Tiger!
Still, overall I have nothing but respect for Woods, but let me just say this: he is an insane, ageist maniac.

That’ll do it for “Overblown, Out-of-Context Theatre,” the blog inspired by bloggers that went off on Woods for questioning Nelson’s competition, and for the readers who called them out on it. Please join us next week, when we plan on totally mistranslating something said in Spanish by Sergio Garcia.
