garyt1957 Weird. Seemed a more appropriate time for throwing out a more traditional F Bomb, than the homophobic F bomb.

    garyt1957 But it sounded like he called himself that for missing a putt?

    The eternally offended snowflakes don't care. He said a bad word on TV and it's not 1969 anymore. Those were the days, Archie!

        there was at least one regular F bomb caught on air that I heard. Those will likely be fined

        The difference is what JT used was a derogatory, homophobic slur and that is completely unacceptable whether he said it to himself or not.

            Harris English swore every other hole it seems and Rahm was his usual self too.

                😆 That's funny! I only got to watch a few minutes of the re-broadcast and the announcers were speaking about English's composure like he was Gandhi.

                    It's a good thing there's no TV coverage of my play. Between the swearing, my swing and the ugly legs, it would be a politically incorrect horror movie.

                      He was composed, but after every missed putt he usually said "wtf was that" or the like to his caddie on the way off the green.
                      It was quiet there, so the mikes picked it up, every time it seemed.
                      It was nothing like a Tiger yell for sure.

                        🤣 sounds like fun. 😁

                            I wonder what would happen if Tiger did the same thing dropping the "N" word to himself?

                                I wonder how "Nice putt, Alice" would have gone over? (and yes, I know the origin is with Peter Alliss - but that's not how it's used any longer). Is it just the word he used, or the association to a group being weaker or ineffective? As an example, would he have faced the same level of scrutiny/indignation had he called himself a pickle farmer?

                                  Stu1961 As an example, would he have faced the same level of scrutiny/indignation had he called himself a pickle farmer?

                                  HEY!! 😠

                                  🤣

                                    Or a dill hole?

                                      is JT homosexual ? I have no idea but that would have to be the comparison and even if he were then, IMO

                                      1. He would probably not have that word in his lexicon
                                      2. would never say it if it were ( probably receive even greater backlash)

                                      As for the Tiger comparison, do blacks not use that term endearingly amongst themselves ....or is that just in Hollywood? Anyways, have heard Tiger utter many things in disgust, but never that....now I don't watch him much so could have missed.

                                          I disagree with your statements. My sister is a lesbian and she and I had a conversation about terms that are derogatory to the LGBTQ community and she says they use them to and around others in that community all the time. It's when somebody says it to them and means it in a harsh way.
                                          So, how do we know when it is o.k. and when it is not o.k. to use? If you are not in the community, don't use it. Simple.

                                              That was my opinion and good to get an "inside " opinion/account from the community .

                                              and I agree with your last statement 100% ....which is why my first question was, is JT gay .
