Thread: Are you judging Tiger Woods?

I find myself very disappointed in Tiger Woods. While I realize that being a celebrity carries pressures and temptations that "normal" folk may not encounter, I dislike the way that Tiger falsely portrayed an image of the ultimate family man and so publicly spoke about the importance of his family.

He was a good role model before. Where I previously admired him for his athleticism, having his head screwed on straight, and helping kids, I am now just watching his golf swing... and am likely to cheer on his competition. It will be interesting to see when and if he starts winning again. So much of golf is mental. It has to be tough to not only have deceived his wife and kids but the whole world. When the jig is up... ouch.

I have 2 things to say. First off- his ex wife was made out to be an innocent victim, and rightfully so, but we can't truly say we know the entire story. Every family has deep dark secrets. Having said that, there is no doubt that Tiger was completely wrong in what he did.
The other thing is that once someone attains fame and money, new doors open and they are given opportunities that average people just aren't. More often then not they take them. One of those things happens to be women flocking to you. Maybe a stronger an would resist, but many would give in. Tiger was clearly one of the weaker ones.
I have written and read blogs all about people changing with a little money and notoriety. it' nothing new.
In no way am I justifying what he did though
