keg.  But no one will deny that football players are athletes.
• Baseball players, hockey players, even soccer players are consider athletes.  They all have something in common, crowd noise.  There's cheering, booing and screaming unmentionable things.  Noise in stadiums rivals jets taking off on aircraft carriers.  Referees are there to even make people more upset.
• But golf, what gives with that?  Every shot, some guy is holding up a sign saying, "Quiet".  If you disobey, they'll throw you out.
• Several golfers are aloof on television matches.  They appear to be athletic elitists, who have an attitude that could rival a cat.  If these golfers (maybe throw in tennis players too) are really athletes, let's let the crowd get involved in the game.  Let's start letting fans boo Tiger Wood's as he starts his backswing.  Phil Mickelson seems like a great guy but he makes outrageously bad decisions on the golf course.  Let's have a heckler saying, "Hey Lefty, did you leave your brain at home on that shot?"  Or that Mcllroy kid who walked off the course the other day and everyone acted like it wasn't happening.  Wouldn't it been more entertaining if someone would have yelled, "Hey, snot nosed kid, get back here and finish this game."  It's time these overpaid sissies earn their money.  Golfers can be royalty or athletes but they can't be both.
