Tiger Woods.
I think it was mostly because he was such a self-assured prick though, and so it was easy to pile on.
- dfxm12 2y agoDon't forget, there was also reckless driving involved there and a ton of bad press. The only fallout was losing a few of his many endorsement deals. He kept his videogame. He kept golfing. "Facing appropriate consequences for your actions" is not being cancelled.
- soperj 2y agoHe had 14 Majors, and was well on his way to passing Jack Nicklaus. He'll never pass him now.
- dfxm12 2y agoHim falling off his game is on him. Or are you really implying some entity "cancelled" Tiger Woods' golfing skills or there was some conspiracy to prevent Tiger from winning because he cheated on his wife?
- soperj 2y agoHe took a bunch of time off because of public pressure. Was never the same.
- dfxm12 2y agoI don't think Tiger sees it this way after he took a few months off. But, it is clear that the inability for people to take responsibility for their actions and instead blame some bogeyman like "cancel culture" is a big problem. Enablers and others who make excuses for them are part of the problem too.
- lern_too_spel 2y agoI don't think he was cancelled so much as a laughingstock after his 2009 Thanksgiving car crash. That sent the value of the "I am Tiger Woods" marketing to zero. https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2017/11/24/tiger-woods-car-accident-thanksgiving-night-elin-nordegren https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2017/11/24/tiger-woods-car-...
