Should Ian Poulter Make a public apology to Ted Bishop for getting him fired

[sheldonjhacker]

no. but he should apologize for frosting his hair.

[quote name='deasy55' timestamp='1414613733' post='10369647'] Poulter should also apologize for the following: WW1 WW2 [b]Titanic [/b]Climate Change The extinction of the Dodo The Northern Ireland conflict Ebola Bird Flu MH17 9/11 and Lagteacher [/quote]

The movie, or the actual event? Or both....

[quote name='jfzhorseman' timestamp='1414614550' post='10369741'] Lag says our society is too PC yet wants IP to apologize where none is required nor should even be considered. Superfluous apologies are the definition of PC gone mad and Lag you are a culprit of your own accusation. [/quote]

[Qqq123xx]

It's all Phil's fault. He should apologize.

[jvalhalla]

No way should Poulter apologize. Ted Bishop decided to read Poulter's book and then make comments on social media. That is a Bishop problem.

I would never have even considered reading that book before all this. Since then I have contemplated buying it. Ted owes me an apology.

[ronnbee]

Then the LPGA has to get involved !!!!

I hear Ian has bought one of these for Halloween.....

He should really dress up like this for Halloween and tweet the picture to Bishop :D

He's a little girl for making those comments

IMO Ian poultor made a very careless mistake by calling into account a great mans character and political correctness by the comments he responded with. It ended up screwing Ted Bishop and all the hard work he did for years at the PGA. He will no longer be invited to PGA championships or Ryder cups as past presidents are.

I'm calling out to Ian Poulter that if you have any decency you should publicly apologize and relay your remorse for your part in what happened.

Earlier this year Ian Poulter called a fellow player an IDIOT on social media. Ted Bishop called Ian a little girl and of the players on tour Poulter has dressed more like a little girl than most with pink shoes etc.. So he's inciting those comments by his behavior.

Please apologize Ian other wise you will lose my respect going forward forever.

"Sorry"-

 

All of a sudden I finally understood the phrase: "A Picture is worth a thousand Words".

You either really believe he should apologize, or you are trolling. Either way, it would be best for this thread to die a quick and painless death.

Maybe start some new threads like;

Paul McGinley should apologise to Watson for making a better job of his team selection
Jimmy Walker should apologise to DJ that he hadn't let his wife sleep with him sooner


Heck, the list is endless..............

Having been call and "idiot" many times in my life, I feel the pain of the fellow player that Poulter reputedly labeled. [size=1](kidding)[/size]

Now I know why Tiger didn't want him on his plane. [size=1](source - Hank Haney)[/size]

Maybe Bishop should have called Ian-James a "Nancy-Boy". Is that less offensive?[size=1] (kidding again)[/size]

Someone lost their job because he called someone a girl. People these days are so soft. Imagine if he told him he had the trackman numbers of a girl which he does look at all those hybrids in Poulters bag . Political correctness is out of control, but everyone knows this just watch TV.

Actually I agree with one of the above comments. If Phil and furyk for that matter would have sacked it up over the years and had a winning record, we wouldn't be in this conversation in the first place. They are two of the best players in the world and cant get above even winning half there matches. I just didn't like Ian's reaction to an obviously silly comment. He invited the media and PC public to jump on a non issue.

I will say this thread has run it's course and it's time to talk about the next big golf news.

No Ted Bishop invited the media and PC public to jump on a non issue by opening his big mouth on an issue that had nothing to do with him.

Edit; Especially since he posted it on two separate social media platforms on two separate days.

I would definitely look to blame every single person who's ever been involved with the pga of America as long as it's not good ol Ted.

Taking responsibility for one's actions is clearly overrated.

This whole thing is a joke. You would think we have an international crisis on our hands by the way some people and the media have handled the story. It actually should be a non-story.

I'm noting you both as being sane. I just want you to know.

Thank you. The nicest thing I've been told today. Of course I haven't been out of the house today.

Bishop is good people guys. Ian poulter set him up. Too bad ted bishop seemed like a good guy, kinda a mans man. But I guess we are to concerned with little silly comments and not the real issues that affect women's rights like who is the golf channel gonna get to replace holly Saunders.
[/quote]

He set him up? Poulter didn't even mention Bishop? Bishop was apparently with Faldo who mentioned that IJP had said some things about him in his book. Bishop then went off like a badly loaded shotgun. IJP's fault it ain't.

[MJisGOAT]

No way. I don't see any fault on Poults side.

Wow, talk about misdirecting the blame. You can't blame Ian. That is like blaming the alcohol because you got a DUI, or blaming Springfield Armory because a criminal got shot during the commission of a crime. How about blaming McDonald's because there are fat people. How about blaming the pencil because people spell words wrong. How about blaming the government because kids are stupid because of Common Core.....oh wait, that one is true.

Need me to give you more examples of why your thought process is completely wrong?

No he shouldn't apologize. We live in a world where you can't say anything without offending somebody and then everyone throwing there hands in the air in protest. Shame really what happened to Bishop, but Poulter doesn't need to apologize for anything.

I have no problem with. I get it that ted bishop shouldn't have called a pga player any kind of name. But Ian took it to the next level by insinuating that is was a derogatory comment. Which was very weak. That's what sparked off Bishop getting fired because Ian made it an issue of sexism. When it was clearly Ted Bishop just calling him an immature ignorant little kid. He should have just used the correct phrase for it in proper English DOUCHEBAG
[/quote]
Couldn't agree more. A grown man should be able to take a non personal throw away line like Bishops on the chin and laugh about it. I think Bishop should release another tweet directed at sooky lala Poulter:
"Harden ip Princess!"

Nonsense........ Bishop accused IJP of behaving like a ittle gir.... IJP responded...... hardly constitutes 'carrying on' does it.???

Curious as to how he was "carrying on" in any, way, shape or form...
