Corporate America’s Cowardice, Part CCCXLVIII

News blast for corporate America and its brain-dead marketing dweebs: people (yes, women too) sometimes allow their genitals to get the rest of them in a lot of trouble. JFK, Bill Clinton, Martin Luther King…get the idea? Well, unless you’re in the KKK or Fox News (same thing, really), none of these great Americans is a focus of public shame or demonization.

Clearly, Tiger doesn’t belong in that camp of leaders, but I’d still say the corporate abandonment of him reflects more on the piss-puddle shallowness of corporate morality than it does on Tiger. As I mentioned in my previous post on Tiger’s journey into the forests of night, he is more victim than perp. In any event, he will pay a serious private price for his misdeeds. Yet is he less a professional, less an artist of his game, because he lost control of his libido and his personal priorities? Was Clinton a bad President because he got a blow job?

And here’s my only other sports-related comment of the week: about that football game last night, time was when 80+ points would be nearly a season’s worth of NFC East divisional matchups, not one game. I don’t watch the games anymore, so my question to both Giants and Eagles fans would be: what have we got here, the AFL resurrected? Is defense suddenly passe in the NFC East?
