It's no surprise the media jumped all over the Tiger Woods story since a second statement was released this morning. Everyone has an opinion, the World is demanding a response, but I believe Tiger Woods only owes one group a response; that's his wife Elin and his family.
Regardless of popular belief, the circulating infidelity accusations have not been validated or denied. It's not our place as fans, people, individuals to judge him or his actions. Since I've elected to not judge Tiger, this does not mean I condone what may have allegedly occurred, however, I will not use OURBLOC.com or any other forum to trash the reported information. Tiger Woods is a person...he's a human being just like you and I. The World built this pedestal of praise for him and all he did was go out and do his job as the #1 Golfer in the World. If the accusations are correct, all Tiger did was show the World one of his many flaws. There was only one perfect human to walk the face of the earth and his name was not Tiger Woods.
Debate the issue around the water cooler or over a cup of coffee amongst your inner circle, but leave it there. Regardless of how bad the World desires to know the details of this individual's private life, it should remain just that ... PRIVATE. This will be our only blurb on the Tiger Woods infidelity story. For me, the story only has a basis to incite celebrity trash gossip and comedic pop shots. The truly unfortunate aspect of this story is the World would rather focus on Tiger Woods' infidelity rather than the many developing news lines that are of greater impact to our actual way of living.
Final note, ever wonder why the News Media never circulates more positive story lines? The mere fact that people are tuning in to every channel that mentions Tiger Woods is a prime example. Smut sells and it will never change until we demand more from our media personnel.
