Because focusing on “the other woman” doesn’t sell as many papers. If the media report an indiscretion, then they’ll automatically blame it on the most famous person involved (male or female). In this case, Tiger Woods. They could’ve paid the mistress to do a kiss and tell story, but Woods got in there early and paid her not to do it.

A front page story that depicts ‘Lucy Loosedrawers’ as a homewrecker isn’t going to pack the same punch as ‘Tiger Woods hits the rough’ or ‘Tiger gets a hole in one’. That’s just the way the mainstream media operates…[/quote]

You’re right. I see that as the dark side of capitalism. Anything for MORE profit. In time and in those situations you can see how over time it will steer the morality of a country or at least the people who are glued to celebrity gossip. [/quote]

The only thing immoral was that a married man slept with someone other than his spouse.

Wanting to know the story is not immoral. I find people who are fascinated with celebrities a little weird but wanting to know about their lives is not immoral.

Don’t try to say that capitalism makes people immoral. That’s rediculous. There are plenty (majority) of people making money without breaking their morals. Morality comes down to the individual.

The people who own the magazine or newspaper need to make money. This is a very effective way to sell their publication. Morality is not involved with this.

If a woman is “slutty” enough to sleep with a married man(ESPECIALLY a celebrity)…what moral boundaries does she really have??

You would think that male celebrities would ask themselves this shit before “thinking with their dipstick.”
Tiger’s mistresses or whatever have been waiting for this opportunity…especially the girl who just happened to also be on “Tool Academy” crap show.

Perfect time for a “It’s A Trap” de-motivational. I know one of you fuckers has one. [/quote]

Done.

He is the villain because he is famous. Who cares about a no name slut when TIGER F’ING WOODS CHEATED!!!

The front page of a local newspaper had a story with teh title
“Why men cheat”

The sad thing is in my experience girls cheat more then guys do.
The thing that pisses me off is some of the girls I know will make me out to be a bad person. This one chick I used to know said “you just bang random girls all the time cuz you are afraid of commitment”
Yah no shit… You put my penis in your mouth 10 minutes after talking about how you loved your bf… (I know someone will call me a bad person for hooking up with girls with bfs… I just stopped carrying a long time ago… I realized it wasnt my problem and if it wasnt me it would be someone else)

This same girl would get pissed off at me for being an asshole. The thing is whenever I actually gave a shit over her issues and tried to be nice she would end up getting mad at me and eventually tell me to mind my own business.

Because this TMZ society we live in now is yet another example of the feminization of men. Big f’ing deal if the dude wanted some side action. millions of other guys are doing the same at this very moment. The general public needs to pull it’s collective head out of it’s ass and shut the fuck up. Why do you care so much? Really, why do you care? It’s not like he was hitting some nasty ass skank. These were grade A babes. More power to him. I see your soy protien is getting low. you can have my share you limp wristed twink.

Elizabeth Banks just off the top of my head.[/quote]
Is she married? I was hoping I still had a shot.[/quote]
Yeah unfortunately, wikipedia says she’s with some guy named Max Handelman? Oh well, I change my vote to this chick anyway, whether she’s married or not.

The media is very hypocritical. The same media that openly promotes homosexuality to children is now condeming a married man for having a mistress, which is the lesser of two evils.

Not only that who cares if he cheats on his wife? How does it affect me and mine

Tarnished idols are somewhat less common. Making him a ‘villain’ sells more magazines. They want to know, “how you could do this?”

Tigers motivations, whatever they are, will be compelling to some people.

The mistresses motivation is simple, and therefore less interesting: slutty chicks do slutty things.[/quote]

exactly. and isn’t it such a juicy story when the mighty ones fall?

I dunno if you are religious, but from my readings of some of your older posts it comes to mind that you might be…infidelity was the one reason Christians were given permission to divorce a spouse.

In any case even if you’re not, as far as I am concerned infidelity is by default the most severe form of betrayal short of murder. I would stay with a woman through just about anything except that. I might even stay with her then depending on what happens after we talk through things, but likely not. A breach of a solemn covenant is not something to be taken lightly and frankly infidelity is a willful and deliberate decision to give up that covenant. I do not blame anyone who has been cheated on for wanting to leave their marriage or relationship. Ever.

If you’re not in an exclusive relationship, do whatever you want with however many people you want. But once you make the decision to be true to one person, have the balls (or ovaries) to stick with it until you are up front with them and tell them in advance that it’s over.

I find it pretty disgusting that he offered her money to stay with him per contract, but I can’t say I blame her for taking it even though it is distasteful to me. As far as I am concerned she simply took advantage of a business opportunity presented to her.

Oh, and I’m still going to watch him play golf, and I’m still going to root for him. And I still like him.

I don’t care and have never cared to get into celebrity gossip/life/voyeurism. I watch Kobe because he’s good at basketball. I watch Peyton Manning because he’s good at football. I watch Tiger because he’s the best in the world at golf. Short of murdering someone or gross misconduct (like punching a fan…Artest) or whatever, I largely don’t care about their private lives.

I see her as having her whole marriage as a business opportunity.

LIfe is very complicated and there are very few times anything is really black on white. What if their union is empty with no real love and affection? What if she really got pissed not because of pain but because of her personal embarrassment?

I see a marriage as working through all tings as long as both as willing.

What I don’t get is why the only heroes are athletes. My opinion might be different having grown up in a country where sports aren’t as big a deal as they are here, but still. It always bugs me that we can’t find anyone else to look up to. Granted athletes get a ton of coverage so that might be it.

Before I get flamed, I’m not saying an emphasis on sports and athletes is dumb just not terribly interesting to me.

Anyone notice that these discretions began AFTER Earl died?

Just an observation.

…To me, this whole situation humanizes the guy and that’s about it.

He’s just a dude with trim on the brain just as much as any other dude, bummer that it’s now so incredibly public.

I think the women are just as guilty, it’s a 50/50 thing. Tiger made the vow, “committed” himself to the Nanny and his family, all of that. What he’s done shouldn’t be taken lightly, but it’s also none of our fucking business.

The women he messed around with though? Definitely know what they did and are far from innocent in this thing. Their embarrassment will be great as well, because their motivation wasn’t just to get fucked it was what else they could gain from it.

They’re prostitutes, plain and simple.

To perhaps answer the questions “Why did he do it?” and “Why would someone with that much money and that sterling of a public reputation act like that?”

Allow me this quick analogy.

In 2007 a buddy and I were at the Buick in San Diego, standing at the ropes on the 5th green. Tigers’ tee shot had him in some deep rough on the right, about 180 yards to the pin. We were standing near the it, which was placed so far to the rear-left of the green that only about a welcome mat worth of turf remained between the pin and a slope that led into some of those infamous Torrey Pine tree roots that sit up like bumpers in a pinball machine.

Anyway, my buddy and I figured Tiger would coast the ball onto the green from the front, hope for a good roll out, there’s no way he’d go for the pin with just that little patch of green behind it.

But nope, we saw the ball leave his club with a fast and tall arc, too fast and too tall to be a rolling lay-up, and whattya know he stuck that fucking ball on that 2x3 patch of turf behind the pin leaving him about 18 inches for birdie like a lawn dart. It was the most incredible shot I’ve seen with my own eyes. One of those shots where you can only stare at the swoosh on the ball with mouth agape.

Why did Tiger go for the pin instead of lay up? Why did Tiger bang those broads without regard to the repercussions?

Because, in his mind, he CAN.

my 2 cents.

Funny you mention his pops … I was driving to work today with my local sports talk radio on and they were, of course, talking about TIger and I thought to myself, hmm, wonder if this would’ve happened while his pops was still alive…

just a coincidence

Because athletes have money and can slam dunk on people’s heads. And they got groupies. Fuck being an Astronaut.
