Woods hiding in the Bush.
Anyone who hasn't been hiding under a rock has already heard about Tiger's mysterious incident by now. He crashed his car in the middle of the night just outside his home and his wife “rescued” him under questioning circumstances. The media and the paparazzi had a field day with the all star golfers misfortune, and would not let the topic rest until some kind of explanation was given. What he did give out was a brief apology for his actions and since then Tiger has remained silent and out of the spotlight. Reporters and TV show hosts tore apart Tiger's blogged statement enough to come to a general agreement that he has been cheating on his wife with another woman. Suddenly, as if waiting for her cue, Tiger's mistress came out of hiding and photos, rumors and allegations about her and her relationship with Tiger spread like wildfire. To top it all off, some six other woman, from cocktail waitresses to nightclub dancers, came out and made claims to have carried out affairs with the international celebrity, thus effectively sabotaging his once squeaky clean image. Personally, I can't help but have a fair degree of sympathy for the man. While regular people like you and I can go through traumatic situations and have to deal with the poor decisions we've made just as much as he has, our problems are significantly more private. Meanwhile every channel on TV has a close eye on what will happen next. While it's certainly easy to say what he did was wrong and obsess over the man's personal life, the predominantly Christian men and women of America should consider one of their most praised philosophies: “let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” And that's all I should have to say about that.

Yes who hasn't heard about the Tiger story. I have heard so many different versions of the story. One where he was drunk and his wife found out he was cheating and chased him out of the house with one of his golf clubs. There is also his mistress story, and so many women seem to all of a sudden have had relations with Woods just to get their fifteen minutes of fame. Part of me feels some sort of sympathy for the man considering he really never had a negative image in the press. But then the other part is going back and forth on the fact that he is a celebrity. He is a golf star and Mr. Woods basically signed his life away to the media when he became a professional athlete.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you have to say regarding the topic. I feel like the stars are in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. I too agree with you when you have sympathy for him because his skeletons are coming out of the closet. How does it make our lives any better? Clearly it doesnt, what do we love about it so much? why?
