Five Observations: Vijay's Onionesque Lawsuit

Just a few observations from a non-lawyer who spent a half hour of his life he'll never get back reading the lawsuit papers filed by Vijay Singh's attorney on Wednesday of the 2013 Players.

- Singh has made $67.4 million in PGA Tour earnings and has a pension probably worth at least half of that, yet he's suing for damages to reclaim interest on $99,980 earned while the tour held his west coast swing earnings in an escrow account during the appeal process. He obviously has no concept how ridiculous that appears to the less fortunate folks in the world.

- Vijay's relentless whining in the papers suggests the tour was somehow guilty of making him use deer antler spray that they should have told him has no redeeming characteristics. The complainant is relentless in ignoring his complicity that I kept expecting Vijay to ask for the tour to replay the $9000 he paid to his supplier!

- The lawsuit reads as a hastily arranged document, best evidenced by the suggestion that the PGA Championship is a PGA Tour hosted event. A rush job suggests an intentional effort to upstage The Players in Vijay's hometown. Either the man is wildly disengaged from local society, or he's about to experience what a well-known parolee feels like when moving to a new town.

- The suit mentions the "public ridicule" Singh has experienced at the hands of the "No Comment" PGA Tour. He's also "humiliated, ashamed, ridiculed, scored and emotionally distraught." All feelings he will experience if he should ever come to the realization that he will now be viewed in an intensely negative light by fans and peers.

- Along with the PGA Tour, which did not comment on the case and gave the appearance of protecting Singh, the Plaintiff also throws his caddy under the bus for hooking him up with the deer antler spray. As if he was held at gunpoint to improve himself and the desire to try whatever snake oil peddled his way was not his own brilliant concept, but instead, something he fell victim too. Class!
