Adultery: Leave Tiger Woods alone
Any other man on any other street could have wrecked his car in the middle of the night, the police would not have investigated too much, the guy would have received a fine, his medical records would have been released, but his life would not have been put under a microscope; leave Tiger alone.
You really have to feel for this man because his whole world is crumbling around him and everyone seems to be savoring every tidbit that comes out of the news about his adultery–no other man has done that, huh–his wife, and even when his mother-in-law went to the hospital they were speculating on who the mysterious woman might have been. I do not truly know what he is guilty of or what he is not, because every hooker that might have mistaken a well dressed pro-athlete for Mr. Woods is claiming to have had an affair with him.
There’s speculation that Nike will drop their contract with him, Buick won’t ask him to represent them anymore, and for what, adultery? Come on, I just saw a commercial for some mobile phone that features Mrs. Clause in bed with a “Frosty-like” snowman, who gets melted when Santa returns early. The M & M’s gang is drooling over an overtly sexy, sleazily posed female M & M, and Nike is worried about image? If you can serve your 3-year-old M & M’s after the holiday commercials, then leave Mr. Woods alone.
His image has been squeaky clean, his demeanor admirable, and his talent unquestioned, until he hit a tree and a fire hydrant. Now, “good grief” we find out he’s human and there are few mothers in America who have not gone through a situation similar to this one with their sons, and most would still love to have given birth to this young man. Leave him and his family alone so that they can find out what is real, what will save their home, their marriage, their partnership in life. Just butt out of his life and let the chips fall.
