OT: More Tiger Woods

Tiger has been linked to an ELEVENTH woman...this make me more and more sick...

http://entertainment.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/12/08/porn-star-joslyn-james...

EDIT: I should have made myself more clear...the situation doesn't make me sick from a standpoint that I'm a huge Tiger fan, and I hate to see him stumbling...that's nowhere near the truth, I'm a "meh" golf fan, and I think Tiger's a great athlete but that's it...

My actual intent in what I wrote was to convey how disgusting I find his behavior...I'm actually recently engaged, and about to be married in 2010, and when I think about how if I did something like that to my fiancée, how much it would kill her to be finding this out...I can't imagine how Elin must feel, and to have the whole world know that her husband was unfaithful to her...

Sure, she'll have money, but there's way more to life than that, and she just had a bunch of that taken away from her...

Why does it sicken you? I, for one, think this story is great fun! It'd be lame if there was only one woman and the media tried to berate him for a single mistake ... but this story doesn't stop! It keeps on giving!

As long as people can stay out of the emergency room, I find it very entertaining. I've never seen a guy's image self destruct so fast.

And, just as a disclaimer, I was kinda annoyed by Tiger to start with. If I was a Tiger fan then this would be kind of awkward and I'd probably tell you to go mind your own business.

if part of the attachment is the racial angle -- everybody pulling for Tiger in an historically all-white sport the way they pulled for Jackie Robinson in 1948. With this stuff, the attachment turns into grief; a sort of OJ-Simpson-lite-shocker-without-the-bodies.

Agreed. Neither OJ nor Strawberry (nor Tyson, nor anyone else) is even close. Tiger is indisputably the world's best golfer now, arguably the world's most popular athlete, and at the peak of his game. And had a teflon, squeaky-clean image. His fall is totally unprecedented.

I posted a longer post about this before, but I'll sum up my opinion:

It's because Tiger's image was such a valuable asset. Not many people can sell their image the way Tiger did. Now that asset has taken a substantial hit.

The people who are most upset about this are probably the people who bought his "TW" Nike line, or a Buick ... or a Gilette razor(?). A lot of people were fooled by his image. Now they're hurt and feel betrayed.

It's like finding out that Tebow isn't a virgin.

That's a fair point, but trust me, I have no lack of compassion for everyone who goes through something similar, no one should have to experience that...

The fact is, though, not every cheated-on spouse has to bear the humiliation of having pictures of their cheating spouse's partners all over the news...

Whether it's right or not, or whether we like it or not, athletes like Tiger are on a pedestal in the sense that everything they do is broadcasted for the world...

Anyway, his wife and kid will be fine. They have tons of money and are able to leave and live their lifestyle, which is more than many people can hope for.

Also, Tiger hitting 12+ chicks (most of which are pretty hot) is fine, but why even get married? He could have pulled a hot wife when he was 55.

On one of the many other Tiger threads I read a very similar comment and will give you a very similar response......Are you f'ing serious?

I can tell from this statement that you have no significant other and have never cared for anyone in life other than yourself or you would know how absolutely insane your comment is.

The thought that money would make up for the fact that the person you loved and wanted to spend the rest of your life with was out screwing anyone (much less lots of people) while you were home looking after the kids is plain crazy.

In your thinking a person laughs all the way to the bank to pick up the insurance check after a loved one dies because hey.....now I will be looked after so screw my wife/child/father etc who just died.....Who needs them, now I have money.

The problem with the C-listers is that they are already fame whores, but they need to make a splash if they want to move up. Screwing around with low-rent porn stars and some gal from Tool Academy is about as un-discreet as you can get. They would be the first people in the world to run to the press and sell their story.

I get the "indiscretions" with regular girl-next-door types if you want to be discreet, but he just wasn't thinking with these two.
