The only reason Tiger is on the news about this was because he seemed like the perfect sports figure. Well behaved and well mannered etc. But, just like you and me, he is human, and he makes mistakes. Give him a break.
Btw, I'm not some super Tiger fan yadda yadda yadda... I actually hate golf and do not care much about the players. I just see this all from the sideline, a guy had an affair on his wife. Yes, people do it all the time, why don't they make the news?
Sorry, I know this is just a joke, but why is this all over the news?
and considering their slogan, I guess it should be no surprise!
"Just DO it"!
But neither MJ nor Shaq "created" a public image of family man, nice guy, etc.
Also not sure if either of those 2 or others have had so many come out at once about is affairs. That I thin is the double sword TIGER is now facing.
So because he is a famous athlete and public figure that gives up his right to a private life? Maybe him and his wife wanted to work things out in private. Making him a sports figure means he can't do this and that he has to come out in public? (BTW, I do agree that it would've been the best mode of action, but I won't stand there and judge him for not doing it).First Tiger is a public figure Worse instead of just coming out himself and saying frm day 1
"Look I cheated on my wife with X ladies. I'm sorry to her and my family. We plan on getting counsling and to fix our marriage. We will need some time alone, etc.."
He tries to hide it. BIG MISTAKE! The media spells blood and they went after him and thus he is now in the mess he is in.
He should of looked at what the politican's do. Hold a press conference, say the truth and deal with a few days of post-news and then the news moves on, big Tiger figured the media would look the other way (since at one point they called him THE CHOOSEN ONE for golf & if TIGER did not like you your station did not getany interviews). Well all that has come back to bit him now.
The only ones I feel sorry for are the kids. There are real young and no kid should have to see this or read about it.
Short answer is YES.So because he is a famous athlete and public figure that gives up his right to a private life?
I think his biggest concern is likely that his transgressions would guarantee that a judge would award custody to his wife and she will likely skip town to Sweden. Women love to use the children against a cheating husband.
