JMS Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm not denying we have a right to know. I'm just saying, who really cares? Are we personal friends with the man? He got himself screwed. I see the report, say sucks for him and move on. Well I don't really care... I just don't think they man deserves any consideration for his privacy, as I think most folks do. If the guy made his living from sports that's one thing, but this guy makes his living telling folks who they can trust, and he's crafted that image in order to be influencial with the public. The public is entitled to know everything about this guy in my book. I think the press has a responsibility to expose exactly what went on in total detail. If that destroys tiger too bad. The entire truth should come out. Then let Tiger see if he can pick up the pieces.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighOnHendrix Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Careful there.. the Enquirer is up for a pulitzer prize this year... no joke...Yes, but their track record is horrendous. They're the Rob Johnson of journalism. Dude had one good game and lived off of it for ten years. Yeah... do they get paid for making the beast with two backs? You think because they film it, it's art? They get paid to do it on film. That doesn't mean that every time they have sex they are getting paid for it. Seriously. :doh: Dude makes a billion dollars endorsing products.... Makes 90% of his money as a paid endorser. I'd say the public has a right to know if he's a low life, scumbag, who betrayed not only his wife but his kids too. Not once or twice but from the beginning of his marrage with more ladies than could comfortable fit in a toyota caravan at the same time. Not sure if you mean a Dodge Caravan or a procession of Toyota minivans carrying his harem of debauchery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy traded his privacy for a billion dollars, can't claim his need for privacy now when it's working against him.... No they don't. Seriously, will you stop drinking Gatorade if Tiger screws around? That's moronic. If you're Gatorade drinker, are you because Tiger told you he drinks it? I highly doubt it. If you wear Nike shoes, is it because Tiger told you to? Seriously, how much does celebrity endorsement affect your buying habits? Does it at all? If it does, you are seriously gullible, easily led around by the nose. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Pretty funny to read a defense of "what, you never did anything bad?" when talking about a guy stringing along 16 prostitutes while his wife and two children stay at home. Pretty clear from where I sit that the guy is a raving sociopath. That said, he doesn't owe me an apology. I'll care about as much about him now as I did before the scandal- which is to say not at all. He should be apologizing to his family, and that should be done in private as far as I'm concerned. I doubt he's really sorry anyways. Just trying to protect his empire. Can't blame him for that. He's got a lot of money but if MC Hammer and Michael Jackson and Nicholas Cage can go bankrupt, so can he. ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 The amount of money companies pay to endorse their product, is more of a problem than them endorsing a wife cheating guy, who plays golf well. Seriously, it makes no difference. I would like an apology from Gatorade, because I liked their product, but it has become too expensive and they keep giving money to athletes to pretend they chose to drink it. Americans aren't that stupid. This topic addresses another large problem. How kids and adults alike, look up to celebrities and place them on a pedestal. If I have to listen to one more announcer call an olympic athlete a hero, I'm going to start running into flaming buildings on my off days, looking for children. They are not heroes. Tiger is no hero. They were unusually good at some sport as a kid, so they were pushed extremely hard and eventually learned they could make money and be celebrated, along with not needing a real job. That hardly makes you a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Rich Fla Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Oh, the news is all over this. I don't buy this sex addiction thing at all. There isn't a man on earth that isn't completely jealous of him and his ability get the STUFF. That's not being an addict, that's being WEALTHY.

And while I do believe that many individual Americans are quite intelligent, as a group we are extremely gullible and do whatever the boob tube tells us to. We are sheep. It's the group mentality, there's no escaping it. Because if advertising didn't work companies wouldn't continue to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81artmonk Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Robotic, unconvincing and cold. I found myself saying outloud through much of it "are you kidding". I personally don't care, but just my take on what I watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Robotic, unconvincing and cold. I found myself saying outloud through much of it "are you kidding". I personally don't care, but just my take on what I watched. 'Robotic' was my first thought as well. I hope for the best for Tiger, for Elin, for the kids, but the apology seemed forced, and scripted. But he was right about one thing. He doesn't owe us jack. He owes his family. And he has to show them what he's willing to do for them. I can fully support either decision Elin makes; I just hope there's a lot more sincerity coming from Tiger behind the scenes. In my mind, the bonehead mistake was getting married. Tiger knew his heart; and what kind of person he is. Personally, if I had his looks, talent, and money, I'd never get married. If he's so much about sex, and different women (like a lot of us are if we're honest), why tie the knot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 This was nothing more than a PR ploy to stop the sponsorship bleeding. If Elin is smart, she will not forgive him and then take him for everything. Considering Tiger slept with at least 2 porn stars; who knows what diseases he may have been carrying. What is recieving therapy for? He thinks he is a god and can have whatever or whomever he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He admitted as much, and if he's sincere, then more power to him for recognizing the damage he's done. I don't think I could ever forgive infidelity, so like I said, I support Elin either way. But I do know personally that, where no domestic violence or severe strain are involved, it's better for kids to have both parents readily available.

They must gain some benefit from shelling out all those bucks. As for Tiger, I don't know if it's been said before, but his biggest mistake probably was to get married in the first place. Men all over the world would be cheering his exploits off the links. As a single man, he's a playa. Married? He's a sex addict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldysknzfn1 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Insincere. That is how I would describe it. But Tiger owes me nothing. I'm not married to him. He should have been apologizing to his wife & kids...not to America IMO. I only know Tiger as a golfer. I don't want to know anything else. What he does behind closed doors, is entirely up to him. He ultimately has to answer for his indescretions. He's a human being...he's not perfect. Never will be. Next time Tiger, don't get married..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDstar08 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 He was very sincere. I believe he wrote most of the words. Some sentences were strong as he used his eyes and elevated his voice. I hope he and his wife repair there marriage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfire Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Usually when people say they're not going to repeat that mistake again, there's a good chance they're lying to themselves or to the people listening. In Tiger's case, I think he's telling the truth that he will change. He's taking his addiction seriously and trying to overcome it in the correct way. He's a dedicated person, and he's turning to the right places to overcome it. I think people underestimate how much damage he's done, and not just to his family. I think Tiger sees the damage he's done, though. Aside from the bad example he set for everyone who looks up to him, his actions have hurt all of his employees. The sport of golf has suffered. He's absolutely right when he says that he has let people down. But regardless of the wrong that has affected those people, I think the apology is an important part of him overcoming his addiction and changing. Regardless of whether you feel like he needed to apologize, he needed to do it for himself if he ever wanted to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I hope his wife has enough self esteem to leave him. Affairs are terrible, but what Tiger did was real bad. His wife should take half of everything and hook up with a peon like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyLight Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Why is he rehabbing and taking time off? Just sever your ties, the relatioship is irreparable. Deal with not seeing your kids as oten as you once did. At least you won't have a "relapse" and make the pain worse on Eilen.If you aren't married, you can do whomever you want with limited reprocussions. there's about 400million reasons why not to do what you recommeded.

When his Father died, Tiger kind of went a little nuts when the pressure was off. I guess living your life under so much focus and pressure, something like that could really make you crack. I'm glad he can now take the time to find himself and get back to golfing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
