So i watched Tiger make his public apology yesterday, and it was lame for a couple of reasons.
1.) Way to scripted. It’s like he is a robot now. I almost feel someone is telling him how to execute every move, and regardless of his actions, being a ‘robot’ for the media is not cool. I did not feel the words that he was saying, maybe because he was reading from paper. I also have to realize that he didn’t sign up to be a professional speaker, he is a golfer who cheated on his wife. At the same time, I remember a few years ago when Micheal Vick – football player who ran a dog slaughter house apologized for his disgusting inhumane actions before going to jail, and I didn’t feel that it was scripted, I felt that he accepted full responsibility and wasn’t looking for sympathy from anyone.
2.)Tiger is in Therapy? Come on. I could see marriage counseling, but him going into therapy for 2 months does nothing for me. It is almost implying that he was ‘delusional’ when he cheated with all of those women. He knew what he was doing, he was just an arrogant liar that put his selfish needs before his family, and everyone who supported him. This behavior is typical of any man who cheats on his wife, sooooo…why personal therapy? Again, I think he is doing therapy because his PR person told him to.
3.) Leave my family alone – really? I have mixed feelings about this. Your famous, you cheat on your wife multiple times and now your asking the public to leave your wife and kids alone. I agree that they don’t deserve it at all, at the same time, the way that he asked people to leave them alone didn’t sit with me well, not sure why. Men just don’t realize the impact that they have when they cheat, it affects children and family for years to come.
The one thing I did like is that he apologized to his foundation and all the kids that looked up to him and respected him. There are ton’s of kids out there that love and idolize Tiger Woods and I definitely think an apology was in order.
I still have respect for Tiger’s parents and his work ethic as a golfer. His was raised with such discipline and focus when it comes to golf, it is amazing.
As far as him cheating on his wife, I honestly get angered by it just as I would when I think of my own husband. I feel for Erin and the situation she is in (although I think her having money will allow her more flexibility than me:). Till next time ladies!!
