Tiger Woods

[Prophet]

CHILDREN 17 YEARS OF AGE AND UNDER PLEASE LEAVE THIS TOPIC NOW, THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING

^don't mind that, just a useless disclaimer, this is no big deal. Tiger's "sexts" to one of his hos were released today:

lol, just lol

oh Tiger, you and your suave way with words

anyways, your thoughts on Tiger Woods? Does he deserve this kind of scrutiny by the media? I'm sure most of you will all say yes, I'm also inclined to say yes. The media made Tiger Woods, they have every right to destroy his reputation

What xD

[Ripplemagne]

The media needs to leave the fucking guy alone. His business is his business and it's just ridiculous how much the media rides the dick of celebrities. They need to get lives and cover shit that's actually relevant to the real world.

[Giggle Monster]

Damn. He is one kinky bastard. xD

Nevertheless, I think the media should just butt out. I don't think he owes the public an apology or anything, he didn't cheat on us. It's none of my business what he does in his free time, as much as I disagree with cheating, and I don't really give a crap. I think it's a little sad when we all care so much about celebrities' private lives. We don't know them, we just recognize the name and face. If it was someone you honestly knew, I could understand being concerned, but come on. He's just a golf player. That most of us are likely never to meet or have to deal with. So he cheated, we get it. Why drag it out so much?

Normally, I'd agree with you yo, but in this case he fucked up way too much that it forced itself to be relevant, the industry of golf got sort of fucked over monetarily as a result of it as well. Add in the fact that this guy is one of the top athletes and arguably the best in the world, it's no surprise this all happened the way it did

if he were single and childless, like Wilt Chamberlain, he'd have been praised as a hero, but he cheated above and beyond what the normal celebrity does

it was his own fault for not expecting this to eventually come out and for thinking the hos would do his bidding and not let any of this be revealed (notice all of them saved their info on him, they knew this would inevitably occur), any action taken by the media is justified IMO

the only problem in this entire situation is that the hos aren't getting the same treatment he is, some of them knew he was married and deliberately tried to sabotage the marriage in their own way

Ripplemagne what's your mobile number?

An individual's private life doesn't effect their professional life. He owes no one an apology but his wife and family. I'm not saying they don't have the right to cover the story; I'm saying that it's fucking stupid to do so. Who gives a flying fuck?

[neoncupcake]

Wow, reading that definitely dries out your vag.

It's not right that he's being dissected like the media, but when you fuck around with whores who will do anything (not excluding golden showers, hahaha) for a little attention. Now that they're getting it, they'll milk it for all the money it's worth.
He should have known that if he ever let it slip that he'd be exposed and his reputation would be screwed. I don't think he really deserves ALL of the backlash, but how else are you supposed to make golf interesting? Oh-ho, I'm so funny. :}

I respect him as a golfer, but not a man. He should just be happy his wife somehow thought it would be a good idea to take him back.

[Giggle Monster]

Wow, reading that definitely dries out your vag.

In general it wasn't too terrible, but when you get to the golden showers bit and a few select parts I won't mention because they're yucky, it was like, ew. I didn't bother even skimming past there, my curiosity was sated. xD

morally? it's stupid, yes, but from a business sense, it means everything to them, and those among the public whom are gullible will eat it all up.

today's media will always put fame and notoriety over their morals yo. Shaquille O'Neal cheated on his wife too for example, but he isn't getting as much coverage as he would have normally gotten from them because Tiger has made Shaq's cheating look pale in comparison and because Shaq's career is winding down in some respects, he's no longer relevant as he once was. Michael Jackson had to die to get back in the media's good graces. Tiger is golf right now, so unfortunately, it became a big deal.

the media will only continue to get worse, the days when the stories could just be reported without and bias on their part are long gone.

it's true, he owes no one an apology but his wife and family now that it's all out, but I do think he needed to apologize (since he was the poster boy for golf itself to many people) not to his fans, not to his sponsors, but to his fellow pro golfers and golf in general as well, for being stupid enough to let his mistakes in his personal and private life literally take center stage over the sport itself and the other golfers, that's something I could accept as being newsworthy and relevant by the media. The media also deserves to apologize to them in that respect too, not to Tiger though, rather to his family and the golf industry.

^those people are probably the only others I could say should have truly given a fuck about it now that it's all been revealed, his personal actions took away from the accomplishments of others, I'm sure they would have much rather had the sport being quieter than what it was, or not had the story revealed at all I guess

[Giggle Monster]

Wait. He needed to apologize that his escapades were more in the media than the sport he plays? "I'm sorry the media finds my private life more interesting, and you guys aren't in the spotlight"? I'm confused about what you're saying.

[Prophet]

nah, I look at it like this, the guy is literally, the face of golf right now, people associate the game with him and his style of play. Keep in mind though, this is still his job as well, and with this job come the burdens of dealing with the media

like any good employee, you want to maintain a good image for yourself and the people you work with

if this had been kept quietly and never had been exposed by the media until let's say after he retired and divorced his wife then, or if it were never revealed at all (because with the way they are, they probably wouldn't have made as big of a deal about it if this were to have been revealed after his retirement from the sport), then no, because it would have never taken away as much from the current things going on in the sport then, since he would have been retired and had nothing to do with the sport. It would have made a big deal in the gossip sections, yes, but it would have been focused on his celebrity alone, not golf.

however now, because all this occurred while he was still essentially at "work", and he just happened to be THE face/mascot/representative of golf, he in a way, hurt golf by not only having the mistakes of his private life dragged into his professional life, by his own accord or not, but the positive image of golf was turned into a tabloid festival because of him, turning it from being about the game and its positivity, to being about infidelity and whether or not the sport would survive without him or not.

he pretty much embarrassed golf, more so himself though; a good employee doesn't do that to his company. Sure, golf is going to profit big when he returns for the Masters now, but it would have probably profited more IMO if he had never made the mistakes he made and allowed for the media to have such easy pickings

that's all I'm getting at pretty much, yes this is tl;dr I know

Holy fuck I lol'd.

[Ripplemagne]

If I'm ever famous, I'm going to cheat just to get the media on my ass. Then when they give me the moment to give a formal apology, I'm going to be like "Fuck you. I'm not sorry to any of you shit mongering low-lives with nothing better to do than gawk at your television set over the personal lives of others instead of having your own. You make me sick and I owe you nothing. I have two nuts; pick one and slurp it, you disgusting piles of lientery."

[lawlseanny]

That'll just make them hound you more.

[Ripplemagne]

And I'll keep pissing them off. I'm pretty good at pissing people off. :)

[lawlseanny]

Tbh, you wouldn't be pissing them off at all. It'd just make more headlines lol

[Ripplemagne]

Naw. I'm pretty good at pissing people off. I'd be a celebrity troll fo' certain.

[Karbon]

As a student Journalist myself, this story would have made someones life. I don't know much about it cause tbh I don't care ... but good job to whoever exposed it. The media were only doing their job, and IMO, they done it right.

[Tim]

He's not the first and he will not be the last sports persona or celebrity to be caught having an affair, Ashley Cole is another one in recent headlines. Its just how the media make their money though I guess cause people are nosey fuckers.

Tbh I couldn't give a shit who Mr Woods is sleeping with, its his business.

However I can see how he's ment to be a role model to young professionals and children but they are not going to get into steamy relations with supermodels and if they do again, their business haha

[Malarkey]

Damn. He is one kinky bastard. xD

Nevertheless, I think the media should just butt out. I don't think he owes the public an apology or anything, he didn't cheat on us. It's none of my business what he does in his free time, as much as I disagree with cheating, and I don't really give a crap.

If it was someone you honestly knew, I could understand being concerned, but come on. He's just a golf player. That most of us are likely never to meet or have to deal with. So he cheated, we get it. Why drag it out so much?

The problem is that plenty of people do give a crap. The media is only giving the public what they are asking for. Instead of pointing our fingers at the media we should be pointing them at ourselves - and I mean that in the general sense of the public as I really couldn't care less about Tiger or his adventures.

So basically, in a nut shell, in summary, I agree with you.

[vermicide]

The part that really bothered me was that the first thing he did when all this came out was not apologize, but rant and rave about how celebrities have no privacy. It was a bit late for that, and he sure didn't seem to mind it before it was something embarrassing getting exposed.

[Malarkey]

I think it's a nice change from all the fake bullshit that celebrities spew usually when they've done something wrong. The apology would have been insincere anyway, so why give one? However, I think what he should have done - if he really wanted to make a point about celebrities having no privacy - was refuse to talk to the press or comment on the situation at all.

[vermicide]

Well, maybe rather than an apology necessarily, I would've been more impressed if he just admitted to it. Like, if he wasn't actually sorry, just be like, "Yeah I did, so what?" or something like that. Instead he just tried to change the subject, which annoys me when anybody does it.

[Malarkey]

Celebrities are politicians in prettier packaging.

[Ripplemagne]

At least in Emerika, they are.

nah, what he should have done was have the common sense to not do anything that would put him in a position to be exploited to begin with

it got to a point on a professional level where he had to at least address something about the situation to save face with his sponsors, that's who the speech was geared towards. Plus it's never a good idea to have some gold diggers riding you and your fame, possibly dragging you down while they get money out of it.

I don't think he should have made his "apologies" public though, that made him even more susceptible to criticism, plus the whole set up seemed more like a presidential speech given on a teleprompter than true sincerity. What he should have done if he really wanted to beat the media was just tell people straight up that he cheated, tell them that he thought he could handle the married life but couldn't, but will still work towards giving his kids a happy life, and divorce his wife. The media hates it when someone beats them to the scoop first and there's no more story to tell, also it would have put the spotlight on the whores more if he had named every ho he slept with immediately and turning the tables on them

I gotta agree with rubicide on this one, while he doesn't have the right now to criticize them on the privacy thing after being given so much until he obviously fucked it all up, he had every right to kill the story as quickly as possible by being honest and doing his apologies in private

[Malarkey]

Of course. But what I said was: However, I think what he should have done - if he really wanted to make a point about celebrities having no privacy - was refuse to talk to the press or comment on the situation at all. Obviously what he should have done - in general - was not put himself in a position to be exploited, but I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about what he should have done afterward IF he wanted to make that point IF that was his top priority, which it obviously isn't, as you pointed out, his top priority seems to be covering his ass my any means necessary in order to appease the sponsors.

I think that his "honesty" which would probably be something like "I screwed up my family's lives and I really couldn't give a fuck" would just have fanned the flames of the situation - which is why he wouldn't say it. Why would he be suddenly be sorry for something he did just because he got caught? If he was truly sorry and suddenly cared that what he was doing was wrong, then he would have stopped of his own accord - before he got caught.

I just don't feel like hearing the apologies of a child who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and who is being made to apologize by his mommy.

I don't see why we must make celebraties lives part of our own by exploiting what they do for our own enjoyment and gossip.
Just because they're known for whatever they do shouldn't mean we have the right to dig into their personal lives outside their profession.


anyways this made me laugh a little.
