I am really, really disappointed in Tiger Woods
He all but admits to it in his latest statement. I just find it sad that you can have a "perfect" life (at least on the outside) and still f$ck it up and hurt the people you supposedly love the most by being a selfish prick.
Re: I am really, really disappointed in Tiger Woods
I just posted about this on another board.... so i'm just going to C&P.
I am not surprised... Colin Cowherd had a great point yesterday about men in powerful positions and infidelity. He said that the fans build these guys up so much, name their kids and pets after them and tell them how great they are, and then get upset when they hit on their wives. And it's true. We as a society build these people up to think they're invincible and wanted (like when women are throwing themselves at sports figures, i.e. Koby or Big Ben) and then we're shocked when they havea god complex, or cheat on their spouses. *shrug*
His wife would be smarter to stay with him. He will make a lot more money and I am sure they have one hell of a pre-nup since he was making large sums of money very early in his career.
I agree with PP about the powerful people sentiment. His actions do not directly affect me. If he starts playing crappy golf because of this, then I will get mad. Otherwise, whatever...I'm not his wife so I don't care.
I think its weird to be disapointed in someone like that (that you don't know). His life may look perfect, but I never assume someone's life is.
I just feel bad for his wife - and their young kids. Their lives are already in the spotlight because he's a famous athlete, and this just reminds me of the whole Kobe thing [minus the trial, of course].
I just hope - for their sake - that it passes quickly.
I wouldn't say I'm disappointed. From what I've heard, he can be a major *** anyway, so really it's not all that surprising that he would do something so... ***-ish. Yes, he's an incredible golfer but he sure acts like a cry baby when he doesn't get what he wants. I never cared for him as a person, I just think he's an exciting golfer.
Anyway, something like this can happen in any relationship. It doesn't matter if he's famous or not, and personally it's not my problem. Do you know how many people are out there cheating on their spouses? I'm going to worry about my relationship, not theirs.
I don't think that a lot of people in general are "good honest people." We just don't necessarily know it.
I'm sure the majority of people (athletes, celebs, politicians, people in general) that others look up to are actually NOT good honest people. Maybe they are most of the time, but not always.
