 Greatest sports feat ever! And if you disagree... you're just a moron... seriously.
Show me anyone, who's come even close... My closest second (and former first) is still the 1980 USA Hockey Team. But what else even grazes the spectrum of this accomplishment?
Anyone, anyone?

How about little Kerry Strugg? Remember when she snapped her ankle making a perfect landing to take the gold for the women's gymnastic team at the olympics? |

worth of putts, the putt on 13 Saturday was 55" straight downhill, if it doesn't go in he's 100 yds down the fairway, later on 17, he chips in on one bounce, if that doesn't go in, he's in the tall stuff on the other side of the green, if any of those things go the other way, he doesn't make the playoff, much less win, Rocco deserved to win, he was the best player, tee to green. |

With a torn ligament, and two - not one but two fractures... |
|
Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer, ever. End of discussion.
The fact that he is black in a lily white sport only adds icing to a delicious cake. |
|
I've got three for you, and could think of others that more impress me (Kerri Strug as mentioned above also wins for me).
Greg LeMond won two Tour de France races after being shot in the chest in a hunting accident. He still has pellets in his chest and is lucky to even be alive.
Lance Armstrong won the same race 7 times after being near death from cancer.
11 championships won by Bill Russell's Celtics.
I'm sure his knee was sore, but golfers walk. They don't move their feet to hit. |
|
He had a broken leg!
A broken leg... two fractures, and a severed ligament!
Come on!
And Goat, I can't believe that you and I actually agree on something...
Kudos! |

Now I have never had one, so I will admit I may not know what I am talking about, but...Guys in the NBA are diagnosed with stress fractures after dealing with (i.e. playing and practicing) for a couple of weeks sometimes. They are not necessarily crippling injuries.
I'm sticking with Kerri, Greg, and Lance for more impressive accomplishments. Besides, anything that can be done reasonably well while drinking a beer or smoking a cigarette is not an athletic event. :) |

Leave it to a Jackass Lib like My Pet Dope to try and make a simple sports question a racial thing. Frickin stooge! |
|
Hey, Peace --
Goat states the most obvious, terrific part of Woods' success and you call him/her a stooge?
Sounds like you've got some skin color issues yourself.
Goat is right -- Woods' triumph in golf is fraught with all kinds of extra racial benefits.
We also heard Leontyne Price back in the 1960s in the super-white world of opera. She was the best and made it possible for others to follow in her footsteps.
And you name yourself "Peace?"

Im sorry, when I see acomplishment I see just that, ACOMPLISHMENT! Unlike yourself, I tend not to look at the color of one's skin but the person themself. That's why I posted to My Pet Dope that the color of one's skin had no place in a sports question. If you see it another way that's YOUR hangup, not mine. |

And by the way it's not Peace, it's Peacefrog2r. Thank You. |
