Tiger Woods

[Pete]

Does anyone really care? Should we care? Why does the media care so freakin much?

For those of you who have somehow managed not to hear about this, props. I would love to not hear about this crap. The story goes as follows: Last Friday, Tiger Woods crashed his car pretty badly while leaving his house. Surprisingly, this wasn't due to his Asian side, but rather that his wife had found out that he was cheating and chased his ass out of the house. She smashed up the back windshield in an attempt to "get him out," but the car wasn't crushed or flipped.

Days later, new reports and several women are revealing that he's been having numerous affairs with various women. It's also been rumored that his wife was actually the first to cheat. People seem to be more concerned with what his sponsors will do with him.

I feel bad for his kids, since they shouldn't have to be subjected to all of this crap, but that's about it. Other than that, I think that the media has more important shit to worry about. I also think that his sponsors really shouldn't care. Nike isn't paying him to be faithful, they're paying him to kick ass on the links. I understand it doesn't look good to support someone with questionable moral character, but really, what happens behind closed doors should be a private matter.

Anyone's thoughts?

Yeah, I agree. I can't stand how much the media dwells on stories like this. I mean.. who cares? One day to report is enough, but for them to discuss it two/three days in a row is completely unecessary!

You know what worked for me? Losing the remote to my television. I haven't heard anything about this until I saw this thread.

I must admit I am quite surprised to hear about it. I always figured that Tiger Woods was a pretty straight-laced kind of guy, but then again I really don't keep up with many sports and the people who play them... (is golf even a sport? Idk...)

This sort of reminds me of the whole Michael Phelps thing, when that photo of him using a bong surfaced. He was regarded as such a hero until that happened and then he lost his endorsement with Kellogg's and he was suspended from swimming on the team for a while. I think he also had to make a public apology.

I don't think that it really matters what these people do in thier spare time. They are people, and they have the right to privacy. I don't think that the media should really cover this sort of thing either, but for some reason when a celebrity screws up, it doesn't take long for the world to hear about it. I suppose it's because most regular people (as in non-celebrities) like seeing that these celebrities can indeed screw up and makes them seem more like us.

It's a dude cheating. Happens everyday, are people surprised when celebs and athletes do it like the average Joe? No, so lets move on.

Props to me because this is the first I heard of it, probably because I haven't been watching too much T.V. these past few days. Honestly, I don't think it's anyones business other than theirs. I pretty much agree, there's really no reason to talk about it for more than a day or two. His job doesn't depend on how many girls he's boingked. But then again of course the media will be all over it for as long as they can because that's their job. It's sad, kind of like how famous people get stalked by Paparazzi.

I would hate for my personal life to be put on blast like that for so long. If you think of extreme cases like MJ's, his kids probably don't watch too much T.V. they probably didn't even before his death.

People cheat all the time, it's not that big of a deal. People have no lives and feel the need to pry into other's business. Then you get things like this:

Or this:
YouTube - LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

It should never get to this point.

[RamesesII]

They dwell on it because he owns more money than we could ever imagine and for a big icon like himself that seems to always be calm and collective and down to earth the media like to say 'Look at this he isn't he is just like the rest of us'

[Meier Link]

Does anyone really care? Noone that actually counts.
Should we care? Meh no, it's his problem let him deal with it.
Why does the media care so freakin much? Because they love exploiting the "stars" that this world revolves around. Plus a golf scandle is new worty. Yes that last part what sarcasm.


Anyone's thoughts?

I find it halarious. I do feel for his kids and wish they wouldn't of been exposed to this the way they have. As for him, he cheated. Oh well. What a douche. Can the world move on because I am more worried about 2012 then what is going on with someones personal life. Note I could give a **** less about 2012.

I was just watching it on ESPN a few minutes ago, it's kinda messed up but it's not going to affect how I live my life at all. I'm kinda glad that he made his public apology though, because a lot of young golfers look up to him I'm sure. And no, it looks like his sponsors won't be dropping him, so good for him I guess. But yeah, he's a normal person like any of us are, and he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, actually a few cookie jars from the sounds of it, and since he's a well-known celebrity of sorts, he will be taking all kinds of flak from the media until the next big story happens. Oh well, life goes on.

[Meier Link]

I just want to know what the hell he was thinking.



Let's put it this way; he plays golf plus he looks like a doober that is not a combination for a win. Given he has money but good god look at this woman, is it really that bad? I think not.

My final note. He's an idiot.

[Polk]

If anyone actually gives a shit, What Would Tyler Durden Do has pictures of the woman, Rachel Uchitel, that Tiger was having the alledged affair with. I think there's something wrong with her back. Either that or she thinks for some reason that's a really good pose.

My thoughts? I really don't care. Dude ****ed up, and wifey was rightfully pissed off. The Wisconsin Badgers upset the Duke Blue Devils tonight in men's basketball. That's a lot better than this lame shit.

[Crazy Chocobo]

I honestly don't care, it's all over the news and it's rather annoying really. It's not the first time this sort of thing has happened to a celeb. I've never really been a fan of his but hopefully it's not on the news for too much longer but I'm sure it will, the media have to report every little detail about something, interesting or not.

[Unknown Entity]

Didn't I read that he crashed his car twice on the way out of the driveway? Both at opposite sides of the driveway? =S

Anyway, I don't really care. You'd think celebrities of all people would be careful what they do because their lives are like Big Brother with the media, sponsors and "loving" fans watching their every move. It makes me sick when people do something and believe they won't get caught - unless Woods wanted to get caught, but hey, that's his problem.

As for his children... gaah... lets hope they learn from this, and don't go down the same route as him. They deserve better.

[Che]

His chick isn't hot. She modeled briefly for someone...who doesnt? Tiger starts gettin with this other chick..etc.

What gets me is Tiger isn't even smooth. If you heard the voicemail he's a total douche about it.

This shit happens all the ****in time. Dude settles down, oh yeah lets have a ton of sex. Oh you're havin a kid now? **** that I'm cheating because I'm rich and I can.

Chick settles down...oh I'm havin a ****in kid or two or eighteen. Dude is like "**** that"? I'll divorce him, take half his money, and raise these kids myself.

This is how celebrities go. I guess the money gets to them eventually. I couldn't explain it any other way. You can't be that retarded naturally. Seems like this happens to every celeb.

[Tiffany]

The media loves knocking celebrities down a couple of notches. Especially ones that they normally don't have a lot of dirt on. I think its pathetic, and I could really give two shits what Tiger Woods did, before this and after. The way they carry on its like its the first time someone has ever had an affair.

Next!

[Josh_R]

Only reason that this is news is cause he is a celeb. This type of shit happen's daily with ordinary people, but of course you never hear about it.

From what I heard he made a claim that he hit a tree at the end of his driveway, and his wife only smashed in the back window to help get him out. How the f*ck is that believable.

My opinion it is funny as hell, but in a couple days me, and the rest of the world will completely forget about this. Then in a couple of days there will be some new celeb with drama in their life.

[Alpha]

Whenever celebrity happenings are presented to me as 'news' worthy of my time, I hit the mute button, flick the page, or open a new tab. Celebrities are NOT news. Unless they're doing something nice for other people with their obscene wealth.

Nuff said.

[ViviMasterMage]

Oh, the guy for a Nike tick for a mouth. (Sorry, the joke was in poor taste.)

I have that a lot of celebrities get in the news for anything these days. Adoption, cheating, clothes that they wear, anything. I hate how some people eat it up and move on...just like sheep.

That is all I have to say about it.

[rJ floW]

men are men, they want what they dont have....

bottom line....

BUT if tiger wanted to swtich lives I would happily trade my random blonde women for his beautiful blonde woman!

Edit - I love married with children...BAHAHAHA

[Che]

rJ do you ever post when you're not drunk? Man, I hate ****ing starting sentences with your name, because it looks like I don't capitalize the first letter of the sentence. **** you.

[Maridia]

So does everyone else remember that commercial where the announcers are stalking him in the store looking at the razors, and he looks over? You think they're gonna do another where he's creeping at night to his other lady friends houses or asking them to delete his phone number? Cause that would make for better tv.

I can't see any new commercials with him happening in the near future, if they do you have the idea right there.

Trojan condoms-Tiger wraps it tight. Hit it then quit it.

[FThomas]

To be honest, it didn't surprise me that much that he wasn't that faithful. Consider all the opportunities he has during the season.

[Sean]

First I've heard of this.

Don't care now, won't care ever. As others have said, it happens all the time in every day life of normal people.

The only thing the news reporters should be reporting is the news. This isn't news, this is tabloid bullshit.

[Walter Sobchak]

So apparently Tiger Woods is banging porn stars, models, cocktail waitresses, and other various women, reportedly without a condom. So he is a cool guy, what is the story?
