Lovable Loser

Golf's drunken son strikes again. John Daly was found passed-out drunk in front of a Hooters in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He was arrested and held for 24 hours before he was released sober.
Golfer John Daly reckons he plays better after a drink and a smoke - but it's done no favours for his gut. Pictures, Images and Photos
John Daly has been a train wreck for years. But for some reason golf and sports fans seem to think he is a likable guy.
Yes, I admit it is cool to watch him crank the hell out of a golf ball, but John has ruined his full potential professionally and more importantly his family life because of his addiction to alcohol.
When athletes like Darryl Strawberry, Lawrence Taylor, and Steve Howe continued to have substance abuse issues, the court of public opinion wanted to dump them from their respected sport.
So why doesn't the PGA do anything? Really, ANYTHING?
Suspend him from tournaments! Fine him! Make an example of him!
This is way overdue and I am ashamed for golf.
Golf, the gentleman's game?
Not in my book.
