Seriously why the fugg don't they leave Tiger Woods alone

This is fugging crazy. All now Bush and Cheney haven't apologized.
Begala is correct - we're heard more from Tiger than from the politician Vitter.
Tiger Woods owes us nothing - zippo. Tiger do what the fugg you like - it's none of our business.

Where was the outrage on that one?

and there was no outrage because (a) no one believed him and (b) he was never married -- lifelong bachelor

and the steroids,he said he didn't and no questions asked because he was their great hero he was/is a damn liar.No more has been said.

Tiger fucks 18,19,20 or however many women and they whoever in the hell they are want him to apologize to THEM when a lot of THEM have done the same and even more and are doing it now but they show up on tv as though they are the FUCK POLICE!

observations with respect to athletics.

Not what he did other than he got caught what others get away with. And he's a celebrity.

So did Ensign and so did Sanford. None of them was treated like this.

What has changed for them?

I could care less.

I care more about the culture of sports, the greed,
and the mob insanity...

Money is why they deified him. Money is why they crucified him. Money is why all of those women screw him and it's why all of those people hang around him.

It's just a common motivator but in his case the amounts are astronomical.

possibly the best ever, at what he does.

It's a shame but at least he has his own sense of self worth.

(p.s. we're all grown-ups here and the subject is sex addiction, it's ok to say "fuck")

tiger woods gives us a presser, goes all boo hoo and cries like a baby, and you're telling US to leave this attention whore alone?

trust me, the whole world is praying that he goes away...and stays away

HE called the presser, it isn't like there's this huge adoring public of GOLFING fans crying out for news of tiger woods' sex addiction treatment

nobody cares and tiger can't stand it that nobody cares so he has to cry at his presser like a baby

is there a more boring sport than golf? well, there's the winter olympics, sure, but c'mon...he's the one screaming for attention and he's the one who got all upset because he was soon forgotten and knocked off the sports pages by the saints

Many people do care about Tiger Woods. You may not. Many may not, but a hell of a lot of people do. If they didn't care, then we wouldn't be talking about it today. Tiger just wants to get back to playing golf. And in order to do that, he has to make some kind of effort to show he cares about his family. He has to get the public to forgive him in a way so that he can get back to golfing and making millions.

I never cared for golf... Until Tiger. He is so good that he makes watching fun. I hate what he did to his family, but it isn't my business. I hope they are able to work this out in whatever way works for them, but I would like to see him back golfing because he is a great great golfer. You don't have to watch, but I will be watching when he comes back.

That's all this is about. If all Mr. Woods wanted to to do for the rest of his life was play golf, he wouldn't need to say anything to anyone. But if he wants to hawk cars and watches again, he has to play the corporate game.

The msm's purpose is to cover-up and deflect attention from the crimes against humanity being perprtrated by our goverment and the large multinational corporations.

Ding ding! How the fugg is this the lead story on Brian William's crap international news

is getting back out on the Golf course and doing what he does best..he doesn't owe me an apology...

but what angers me is when CNN live video is carying replays of his sorry-ass statement all day when we could be watching something much more important like reruns of CBO reports before a Senate or Congressional committee, or HCR hearings held by the Senate Finance Committee in 2009.

This is just further evidence that we have degenerated into a celebrity culture.

we were programmed into being a celebrity culture.
People spend hours everyday sitting in front of the hypnotizer called a television.It is no accident shows are called 'programs'.The result is what computer programmers call the GIGO effect-Garbage In-Garbage Out.

screwed up things that mater. I think the press thinks we care about Tiger more than we actually do.

I know 3 people that stopped working today just to turn the TV on and watch. Of course, I have DU, so no point in even watching. I can watch it get rehashed a million times right here.

Even though he doesn't owe anyone but his family an apology, etc., his many fans expect one also. And let's face it, they are just as much a reason of why he has $$$$ as his skill is. And maybe this is part of his therapy. :shrug: But no one can make people interested. They just are.

he could have just as easily released a statement, and/or had a spokesperson talk to the media, stressing that it was a private, family time and issue.

And he will do what it takes to do it!

Could have just issued a written low key statement, if he/his handlers thought a statement necessary, and then not discuss the issue again. Instead, gave the media more fodder. Not like the intent was for the media (that loves a tabloid saga) not to cover it.

Likely was a strategy with goal to eventually restore a public image...conveyed by the media for years....that has been lucrative in the past. If not, no reason to go public in this manner.

There could be reasons. But he did it, and now the media should move on.

all day the media is asking 'is it enough' the media is so broken...it's the tmz nightly news

2. It serves as a divider of the American People.

Distraction and division are hallmarks of good propaganda, how else can the corporate media keep the American People asleep as to what's happening to them and whose doing it to them?

Thanks for the thread, malaise.

he got killed in Vietnam, or the 200,000 Americans wounded, or maybe the 2 or 3 million vietnamese bombed, napalmed, agent oranged into early graves.
Dont seem to recall that act of contrition.

is about racism AT ALL. Maybe I shouldn't be the judge of that, but I will not agree this is racist. It just isn't.

Tiger is a phenomenal athlete. White, Black, Asian, whatever. I think he likes to believe he has broken some kind of racial barrier, and I also like to believe that. He is known for being great. Nothing else, until now anyway. He messed up BIG time. But he messed up in his personal life. I don't think this falling out has anything to do with him being of color. It has to do with him being way on top. He is a guy who is always in control, or at least that is what he always portrayed. That changed when his infidelities came to light. When you are so high, and you fall, the fall is great. He was on cloud 9 for a while. Not because of his skin color, but it was/is because of how awesome of a golfer he is. Color has nothing to do with it. And I bet he will end up being on top again, at least in the golf world.

I don't need all the Tiger stories but hey - he asked for it.

as to just how he intends to correct his course behaviors and restore yields back into not just my account, but the mutual funding of a brand that he has been key in the tarnishing of. When Tiger mentioned The Buddha...I thought his mother was going to break into tears. But that was why imo Tiger brought in the big gun: Buddha. Though not for His Infinite Compassion. And while for me it was surreal to hear him do so I understand why he did: he's trying to repair a global brand, his global brand he has taken down a few pegs by his own actions and he knows it now if not then

I understand the 'how' about how Tiger got the money for the super-yacht he sailed off on some time back, he's a tremendous golf player; Earl had Tiger on courses when he was 2 & 3 years old, his son was going to be different, successful and have a-life-befitting that Tiger himself perceived as an 'entitlement' - in fact that alone is great comfort for some knowing that if they live an albeit 'clean looking' life and work hard too, that such entitlements can happen to them as well - but lots of people seem to have little concern for the 'where' the money comes from and in such media/brand, corporate money matters; that can be the edge on which the fool does his best dancing

Maybe its that America is too infatuated with her celebrity corporate sports figures, that's what I think and I don't care what color they are. There's allot of money riding on the table. Cutting people too loose too quick in a matter involving serial philandering is to excuse our willfully near proximity to it

I doubt the mainstream media are doing all this work by themselves - I think someone's keeping Woods in the public's mind.
