But he dominated his sport more than any other athlete in history. So of course Tiger is going to get the nod. It doesn't matter anyway. Woods sure as hell can't ride a bike at an average speed of 35 mph for 52 kilometers. It's all just one big opinion that doesn't really mean anything anyway.
Golf is a recreational activity, it is a game, it is even a competition.
But it is not an athletic competition. It is not a sport. The thing is that the ESPY awards are an American media award. Night after night on ESPN Sportscenter they go on and on in their adulation of Tiger. The newsreaders on Sportscenter do not even have sufficient depth of understanding of cycling to make any intelligent comments on the daily stages during the brief mention of the day's stage report during the tour.
