It has been a busy week for the NY Times and other media outlets covering Tiger Woods.
In a matter of a few days, he has lost his family and credibility as a loyal husband.
It's gotten so bad for him that he is being mentioned in the same breath as Magic Johnson and Wilt Chamberlain; two men known for their love for women.
The man known as the world's best golfer has stepped down from Mt.
Olympus and become human.
Woods reminds me of a character from the movie, The Man Who Would Be King.
Sean Connery played Daniel Dravot, a former soldier that cons a tribe of natives into believing he is a God.
After a woman bites Dravot, the natives discover he is human when he begins to bleed.
And once they realize he is human, they behead him.
Dravot reminds me of Woods because both were brought down by women and people are now discovering that Tiger Woods is just a man and not a god.
So I ask, who are we to judge him? Why does anyone care about his personal affairs? If you care, you either need a hobby or a life.
Other than Woods himself, the only person that should be concerned about his infidelity is his wife.
As golf fans, Woods doesn't anyone an apology or a statement.
The only obligation he has to his fans is to play a good golf game.
He cheated on his wife; he didn't kill anyone or cheat on his taxes.
What's most disturbing about this incident is how people worship celebrities.
People act like they have a personal interest vested in Wood's life outside golf.
I have heard people say they are disappointed in Woods.
Why does he disappoint you when you don't even know him? As NBA great Charles Barkley once said, "athletes aren't role models.
" And if Tiger Woods is your child's role model, then you may need to do more for your child.
If your children ask about Woods, it's simple, just tell them he made a mistake.
Finally, another woman has allegedly sold compromising pictures of Woods to Playgirl.
Here's a message for any celebrity, politician, or anyone rich and famous.
If someone promises not to reveal details of your illicit actions to the media, they are lying.
So remember this: the next time you do something you don't want to get out through the media, then don't cheat on your wife or do anything unethical because there are people waiting to snap your picture and exploit it for money.
And you can take that to the bank.
