Human decency!
Human decency!
Nice try, troll.
The money was the amount for him to act as caddie. Like, if winnings were zero this was what he would get. But the tour custom is 10% of WINNINGS. Consider my Super Bowl ring analogy. How would you feel if an NFL team refused to give a fill in coach a Super Bowl ring if they had hired him to be an assistant coach in…
My net worth isn’t $48 million, you idiot, and I’m not the one that won the golf tournament. I am not saying that the world revolves around human decency, but I am saying that paying him the 10% was the decent thing to do and we are allowed to call him a human pile of excrement for not doing the decent thing. You are…
The the best analogy I can come up with for why this is so wrong is this. Imagine an NFL team had one of their assistant coaches go out at the last minute right before the Super Bowl. They end up hiring some well-known local high school coach to coach their linebackers or something in the Super Bowl. They end up…
If my net worth were $48 million? Yes. Yes I would have.
Sometimes the argument to be made is really that simple. Paying this caddie the 10% was the decent thing to do, and Kuchar did not do that. All the people obscuring this into a contractual thing are just diverting away from the fact that Kuchar quite simply did not do the thing that would have displayed some basic…
Yes, arguing for human decency rather than screwing people who you perceive as less than you is Che Guavera. Uh huh. Sometimes this shit is much simpler than the stupid political and economic arguments you have made to defend Kuchar. IT WAS JUST THE DECENT THING TO DO. I don’t know how many fucking times I have to say…
Yes a simple argument in favor of human decency is an argument for Venezuelan-style socialism. You are correct, sir.
Yes yes. Ayn Rand. Contractual obligation. Free markets. Blah blah blah. Again, we get it: You are a terrible person. You are coming through loud and clear. You really think some fucking backup caddie has ANY negotiating leverage? Nope. Your point is dumb as dirt and totally unrelated to anything relevant whatsoever.
Again, the people making this argument are such terrible people. Guy, you really need to reflect on the kind of person that you are. Human decency is a real thing that is not just related to whether you are contractually obligated to do something. Every offer Kuchar made was a slap in the face, and it is UNBELIEVABLE…
Awww poor Kuchar, yeah the bad PR is going to cost him I feel sooooooooooo bad for him. Whether or not the full $130k was warranted, I really do not think it is a stretch to say that the $1,000 bonus he received is such a slap in the face that Kuchar ought to be ashamed of himself. The follow-up offer of $15,000 was…
“Let my caddie eat cake”
Man, I really just wish you could see how ashamed of yourself that you should be. This is sad, sad stuff. 1.2% is not an awful attempt? Reflect on the person you have become, man. Seriously.
I have played Devil’s Advocate a great number of times on Deadspin, but I just wanted to jump in and say shut your fucking mouth. This caddy deserved to be paid. Not $5k, not $15k, but $130 fucking k. Eat shit with your sophistry on this one. They write those contracts based on the idea that this will be a base…

YOU try to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
That buzzer beater at 81-78 is unreal. Still don’t understand how he got it off, let alone in.
Ice cream, Mandrake? CHILDREN’S ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and…
How has there not been a comment yet about how truly tiny and short and nubby his little fingers are? It is really a “thing”, not just a joke. The man has abnormally short fingers and it is weird and distracting.
