I saw this thread start and haven't read a good bit of it.

This is a part about the media that is so disturbing, so violating. I feel it is none of my business and the worst part of the damage is private lives being sensationalized. (Hell, it killed Princess Diana!!) With the media it is like one big massive feeding machine. Folks don't have a life, feel they are entitled to "judge", to DEMAND... (?!) It really disturbs me on the "what's right and moral" plane - like crazy. But, then we have been judged as queers morally for so long.

Folks are human, they makes "mistakes". And like the Clintons, we don't know what the understanding was between Mr. and Mrs. Hell, the other side of the aisle (during the "Monica outbreak") tried to IMPEACH a president for getting a blowjob from... a consenting adult. "But, he lied"... they all insisted was their "reasoning". Well, it was no one's business or right to know. People acted like it was "high treason" for christ sake.

Now this is like the new Michael Jackson with the media.

And this is not like a high profiled athlete brutally running an illicit dog fighting ring!

I wondered, right away... was this when Tiger's father got ill? After he lost his father? No one can predict how someone will act once there has been personal trauma and loss. No one can possibly truly understand the bond between Tiger and his father... Personally, I think I would SPIN out somehow with a loss such as this. We know he dropped in the rankings after his Dad died. He couldn't play for awhile. He was injured...

And finally, there are folks - both men and women who go AFTER celebs sexually (as well as other ways). They look for vulnerabilities.

But, while this might be getting the ratings up a bit on the news networks - which have been in BRUTAL WAR competing for quite some time now... it will be a loss for golf - which I never gave a damn about until Tiger started playing. He was the first Black/Asian man to succeed like this in a sport that at one time did not even welcome anyone other than whites.

That in itself makes me wonder about some of the reactions here. And like other PGA players have not "wandered" in their marriages... (?!)

I would just wish for peace for his family right now. I'm embarrassed more about the media coverage and focus/obsession on this, than the initial embarrassment for the family with this being publicized. They are in deep pain right now - WOUNDED. That is my thoughts/feelings about it all. I feel the Wood's family just needs privacy at this time, like any other family in crisis.

And some folks just love to see "people fall", simply for their own envy and dissatisfaction with/in their own lives. For Tiger, I think this will be quite cathartic, and he will be back, stronger for it. I hope so anyway. But, it is his choice how he proceeds in his own life. I wish his family healing.

Sincerely
WILDCAT

*Anyone notice that they have NOW even brought out photo's of M. Jackson's private family paintings, inferring that they are incestuous? It's disgusting... And Tiger COULD be a sex addict - or he could have turned to crack! He might have just been in deep emotional pain for losing his best longtime life friend, his mentor - HIS FATHER. But, the speculating and judging... that has always pushed my bottons.
