Tiger Woods - The Entire Situation

Andrew, Jr. · 02-19-2010, 11:32 AM

Today Tiger apologized for his behavior, having numerous affairs, and for betraying his wife & children, family, friends, and so on. He is in a private in-patient therapy for sex addiction.

What I saw was a hurting man, someone who was really confessing his "sins" to the world, and wanting to make amends for his lack of control. In my mind he was sincere.

Yes he seemed to be hurting.

Not to be rude, but to me. There are more important things in this world that we have to be worrying about. I could hear him on the news, but I didn't watch it. I personally think that the media has over blown this whole situation. And we, the viewers have picked sides and pointed at a man for our own satisfaction and belittlement knowing we have our own faults and injustice to deal with.

Blaze,

The thing with this is the children. He has so much money tied up with his foundation, and with helping under-priviledged children. These children look up to TW as a role model. And he failed them all, including his own.

It was refreshing to see someone stand up and take responsibility for his mistakes. No blaming his wife, his past, whatever. I also agree that the particulars of his affairs are not the business of the general public. Those are matters between him and his wife.

Maybe I am a bit of a sap but I felt like what he said and presented were genuine. The facts are that many watched this "breaking news" earlier today. Hopefully if nothing else, humility, taking responsibility publicly will serve as a teachable moment.
