Man, Tiger Woods is messing up!
I am running out of things to blog about and need them so I want to bring up some of Tiger Woods' current issues and relate them to our class discussions. Ok, first we all Tiger Woods got into an accident last week when pulling out of his driveway at 2:30 am and had considerable facial injuries and foul play was suspected but never proved. You'd think his image would be in jeopardy like a politician that made a mistake and was exploited, and personally I think Tiger is more popular than most politicians. Now yesterday another story came up that he had 11 mistresses that are beginning to come forward! Even more, Gatorade just dropped Tiger's brand of Gatorade and endorsement, but according to Gatorade the loss of sponsorship had NOTHING to do with his current media monstrosities. So there is the back story. First off, Tiger Woods in my opinion needed to address the media and give an apology speech to state he made a mistake and wanted to move on positively. The media and Golf fans would have most likely forgave him but less than a week later after no response from Tiger more allegations come out about him. Any Politician would have handled this situation much better and professionally. Tiger is now claiming that due to all the scandals being exposed about him, he plans to leave the country with his family to one of house million dollar house to escape the drama.

Its official no one , and I mean no one that is a celebrity should get married. Even the great Tiger Woods has messed up. It will be interesting to see how the rest of his carrer plays out. I just think in today's world it is impossile to do something like this and get away with it. The whole story is crazy and soon he will start losing a ton of money in endorsements. Look at the facts politicians are constantly getting caught and now him. Everyone that is famous must be aware of our media driven world
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. I have been following this story since it came out. I have never been a huge Tiger fan but he just seems to be getting himself into more and more trouble. The latest being this incident with his mother-in-law being rushed to the hospital from his house to the hospital. Tigers reps are not doing a very good job in handling this entire situation. Instead of addressing the problem on his website he needs to step up and deal with it in person. If this situation would of happened to any politician this story would be old news by now.
ReplyDeleteIts always hard to find that line of when someone is famous enough that they have to explain their actions and when it belongs on Springer. Although it seems like a stretch to associate the rational behind desiring Tiger Woods to apologize versus that of a politician. For politicians it seems that the underlying rational for the apology is that the political figure can't control their own life so how can they control their office? Much more of a fitness for office reason than a role model situation, which is the category that Tiger Woods seems to fall in.
ReplyDeleteThe public demand for an apology from Tiger just seems odd to me. Will it magically cure his desire to sleep with, a reported, 11 women outside of his wife? Not likely, but like any politician, his scandal will likely cause him to take a step back for a few years.
I have to agree with you here. Tiger needs to seriously get his act together! Maybe his "indefinite break from golf" is an attempt to do that? He just needs to hide out for a little bit until this blows over. Like I said in my post earlier, if people got over the Bill Clinton scandal, Tiger can come back, too. I feel confident saying that once this whole thing blows over, Tiger will be back playing golf and picking back up on his career where he left off today.
