She’ll get her money through her 15 minutes of fame. It’s pretty clear she was thinking about this from the beginning or else she wouldn’t have saved the message. She will be hitting all of the talk show circuits and I wouldn’t be surprised if she got a spread in Playboy or something when all is said and done.
Just because Tiger isn’t writing her a check doesn’t mean she won’t profit from this.
LEAVE TIGER ALONE!

I’ve always found Emily to be very respectful of men and very well informed.

She may profit from it…probably already has since US weekly has the voicemail. I doubt she makes Playboy. She was on Tool Academy…she probably already sent her pics to Hef.
I dunno…we’ll see. I think the older chick may be better looking.
I read that she hopes no matter what happens to Tiger and Wifey that she can reconnect with Tiger. Sounds like a sweet girl.
Interesting chick to cheat with.
I mean, she’s pretty hot - and I’d definitely drill that ass 'til oil came out of it… but she’s not hotter than wifey.
And, she’s just not hot enough in general. He is Tiger-fucking-Woods. The type of ass he could pull would boggle the mind.
Infidelity aside, if you are going to risk huge endorsement deals you need to be sure the juice is worth the squeeze. Maybe if she was 1/3 of a triplet situation and they were desperate for Tiger to get in their rough…

When will that happen again? When the incidence of domestic violence against women is statistically zero? Is that when women will take a look at the efforts in raising domestic violence awareness and managing the crimes, and finally say, “Ok, girls, so THIS is how we need to stop our own from beating up their husbands and boyfriends. It clearly worked on men!”
Why not lay the groundwork from the BEGINNING and say that, shit, domestic violence itself is WRONG and courts/law enforcement should take any and all reports seriously, be they from a man OR a woman?

It has more to do with destigmatizating violence by women towards men.
Domestic violence in all forms is wrong, but the man needs to at least make a complaint.
I wish Dave Chappelle still had a show, I think he has a lot of material to work with here.
Man…
Elin should just come out and yell to the world: “Oh yeah hubby! I fucked John Daly.”
If I could post a picture it’d be of a person’s face (or an animal’s) with eyes stretched wide open with the caption WTF!? under it.

I agree, but as has been stated numerous times in this thread, even LAW ENFORCEMENT does not always take a man’s complaint (against his spouse’s abuse) seriously. Add to that the fact that society itself does not seem to equate violence against men the same as violence against women (at the very least, it should for the sake of the negative impact on any children in the household and their exposure to the abuse) and you have a very narrow view of domestic violence.

“Respect” wasn’t the right word…I’m still thinking.
There is only one rule when you are Tiger Woods’ wife and you’re pregnant and can’t have sex…
SUCK THE TWIRL as much as you can or he will get it from somewhere else.
If you don’t feed the dog, he’ll go elsewhere to eat…
If i’m Tiger Woods (billion dollar man), I’m getting action and if wifey is pregnant she has to step up in other areas…
Morally wrong? Yes, but that’s a billionaires world and Elin was fully aware of that!

Really? How so? I feel like I have respect that verges on awe for men as a group, though I begin to divide into respect/not respect when I limit my focus to individuals. You’ll never, ever find me doing the “yeah, men are all dumbasses” thing.
I do get tired of the fear-and-loathing vibe I occasionally encounter here regarding women. But I don’t even think I really brought that out to play in this thread. A little bit with Tom, but he was gracious in response and clarified his post.
I bothered to post to the thread specifically to address the “Why is it so unfair?” question of women attacking men. I posted to say that in my opinion, it is changing. I agreed right down the line with the men who don’t like the double standard. I stated that most female-committed homicides are of intimate partners. (Girl = bad!)

In the beginning it was all radicals, probably women who were victims themselves. The women’s movement was in full swing and the domestic violence thing got rolled into it, to the benefit of both movements, I’m sure. In the early 80s child abuse began really coming out of the closet and mandated reporting laws were legislated, etc. That, too, was helpful, because in many homes physical violence is flying in every direction. The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 dealt almost exclusively with women, however, each time it’s been updated efforts have been made to broaden its scope and make it fairer.
As for laying the groundwork, I couldn’t agree more. I wrote (in another context, obviously):
[quote] Criticism of the VAWA has come from both conservative groups and womenâ??s groups. Some critics have accused that the legislation is paternalistic and implies that women need special protections (Garrine, 2007). Others have felt that VAWA programs address only the needs of women, leaving men without adequate protection from abuse and calling into question the male character. â??The Violence Against Women Act is gender-driven politics being operated through the public purse,â?? says Michael McCormick, executive director of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children. â??We’re spending nearly $1 billion a year to reinforce in the public’s mind that men are indiscriminately attacking womenâ?? (Prah, 2006).
One provision of the 2005 VAWA that particularly appeals to me is the Grants to Assist Children and Youth Exposed to Violence:
The Attorney General, acting through the Director of the Office on Violence Against Women, and in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services, is authorized to award grants on a competitive basis to eligible entities for the purpose of mitigating the effects of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking on children exposed to such violence, and reducing the risk of future victimization or perpetration of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (HR 3402, 2005).
The act authorizes $20 million for the grants for each fiscal year from 2007-2011 (Garrine, 2007). I particularly like its emphasis on early prevention for both male and female children, to reduce both victimization and perpetration. I worry that we give too little attention to preventing perpetration in particular. Along the same vein, I will mention again the program in the Bexar County, Texas, jail that ties good behavior, parenting classes, and group therapy to visits for inmates with children. PATCH (Papas and Their Children) and its sister program, MATCH (Mamas and Their Children) are an excellent way to address domestic violence in both parents and children. The program offers an opportunity to change the behaviors in parents that children will ultimately model their own parenting upon.[quote]
So yes, groundwork. I’m for it.

I think that Tiger was trying to make that point while Elin was within reach of a set of clubs. Now, if she had known about affair #2, I don’t think he would be issuing statements today. Sometimes you have to put some emphasis behind your words…
Just goes to show that no matter how rich and powerful any guy gets, he has to remember pussy is far more powerful than he.

Unless there are complications or health problems, a woman can have sex when she’s pregnant, all the way up to delivery.

But that would be kind of uncomfortable in the delivery room wouldn’t it? Unless of course you enjoy being watched.
This is like a runaway train. Today’s updates:
Tiger Offers Wife $60 Million to Stay:
Rachel Uchitel calls press conference for Thursday afternoon (from the same story as above):
“The relative calm of the past 24 hours may be put to the test again today. Various outlets report that Rachel Uchitel, the hostess who initially denied a sexual affair with Woods, may change her story today…She has called a press conference for Thursday (at 11:30 a.m.) and may now admit an affair.”
Jesper Parnevik, Tiger’s friend, Elin Nordegren’s former employer as nanny to his children, and the golfer who introduced Tiger to Elin, had this to say:
"Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik told the Golf Channel he hopes Nordegren uses a driver next time on Woods, instead of a 3-iron.
Parnevik employed Nordegren and her twin sister as nannies in 2000 and introduced Nordegren to Woods in 2001. He says he now wished they never met."
It will be interesting to see if/when the sponsors start abandoning Tiger.

Kinda like the champagne room, there is no sex in the delivery room.
And everybody can watch, but only the doctor can touch.
