Tired of the Tiger Woods b.s.

I'm so sick of hearing about Tiger and the whores he fucked. Big deal, who cares, move on to something else already. Even if all his sponsors drop him and he quits playing golf he'll still have more money than any of us or the people talikng about him will ever have in 10 lifetimes. If I was him I would have never gotten married to begin with.

I agree. IMO whatever he does or has done in his personal life is between him and God. It is none of my business or anyone else's and I think it's sad that just because he is famous people who have done things just as bad think they have the right to judge him.

I agree to a degree. I wish it would die but the reality is that the same fame that is causing him all the problems now is the same fame that made him a billionaire. I hate to say it but when you become a celebrity you are selling your privacy.

i know,..... holly shit he's stealing all my thunder...

I kind of agree and disagree. The fame that made him a millionaire came from his proficiency and golf and his charisma as a PGA golfer. The fame that is causing him problems is only related to his personal life which, IMHO, is nobody else's business.

If he was being dragged all over the papers for some outlandish stunt he pulled on the 16th hole, or running over another player with a golf cart, that would be one thing. But I think infidelity in his marriage should be between him, his wife and the Lord. There has to be a line drawn somewhere.

In fact, I'd say that the slimey paparazzi that no doubt camps out by his house hoping for a story are no better for doing that than Tiger is for whatever he has done.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Not to bring up scripture, but people these days are quick to judge, criticize, talk trash and tear apart another person's life without ever taking into consideration their own shortcomings. I'd be willing to bet that there's a news anchor somewhere, that has cheated on his/her spouse and has slandered Tiger while on the air like they were a saint.

I think any repercussions he will have to face with his wife will be more than enough. He doesn't need to have the whole world telling him what a bad person he is. Not that I agree with what he did at all, but in a way I kind of feel bad for the guy. I mean really, whose life is so boring that in order to make it exciting they have to bash someone they have never and will never meet because he did something that thousands of people do everyday. Jeez, let it go.

I agree with that point and I am sure you are right about the reporters cheating too. That is very valid. Its kinda like the cop who passes me going 80 to his trailer just down the road and sits just down the road and pulls over speeders. Gotta love hypocrits. I feel sorry for his wife having to deal with all this crap. I agree that I wish it would go away for her sake if nothing else. I still respect him as an athlete but it does make his whole persona look like a big facade. The thing that is going to kill him the most is if she leaves and he has little to no access to his kids. Any man out there is susceptible to cheat and thats why I just don't go into situations like that. To quote some more scripture "the appearance of evil is evil." Thats why I don't comment on how hot someone is in front of my wife or things like that either. He was surrounded by opportunity always and I suspect, like you said, many of us would have done the same thing. I still do think that an endorsement is somewhat signing your "good name" over to something and he is also reaping the harvest of that. Good talking to you though. Just because we disagree on something doesn't mean I don't like to discuss it.

You make good points too, and I don't think we totally disagree. I completely see where you're coming from. Nothing wrong with some healthy conversation. It's actually quite refreshing to have an intelligent, mature discussion about this. I'm on some other forums where people can't seem to act their age and a disagreement quickly becomes disrespectful and irrelevant to the topic originally being discussed.

BTW, I'm the same way with my wife. I try to respect her in all ways, in her presence, and in her absence.
