An athlete, rich and handsome, in fine physical condition who travels as part of his career, strayed?
Seriously? Is that even possible?
Frankly, the only real surprise from the sports community in recent years is Michael Vick and dog torture.
And the fact that a football team signed him after prison.
Or Michael Oher and his incredible adopted family.
But girlfriends? You have got to be kidding me.
Once the Pandora's box of mistresses was thrust open, an endless conga line of long legged women who claimed to share a bed with Woods, kept tumbling out.
Eugene Robinson, one of the few remaining liberal voices for Washington Post, has speculated that Woods needs validation and is insecure, as evidenced by the seemingly infinite iteration of women who resemble each other.
He claims that the famous golfer likes the distaff side who resemble Barbie, the Mattel cash cow.
Maybe Woods really is attracted to loose gals- be real here- slender, with long hair and blondish.
If he were white, having a type like this would not make him less of a man or self-hating.
Robinson, who is black, seems to miss the point here. It is not how the women look but the fact that they are counter to Woods image as being wholesome and happily married.
Actually, to me, that is not germane at all.
I don't care what he does. I am not married to him and would not be influenced by any of his endorsements.
Why consumers follow the paid recommendations of celebrities and athletes, baffles me. From a marketing perspective I can proffer that it works like word of mouth but better. People long to be friends with Woods or Beyonce or Jordon. So when their imaginary pals are telling them which car or hair coloring to buy, some folks actually listen and follow through.
Enough patronize such products that companies continue to pay millions of dollars for this type of advertising.
Mr. Robinson, that is in fact evidence of the need for self validation and possibly extreme self loathing To seek out P. Diddy on the subject of liquor.
But I digress. Back to Tiger Woods.
He cheated. Okay. A lot. Again, okay.
And that is important.. how?
He plays golf well. Only one person on this planet is his spouse and thus has reason for anger.
He didn't torture and drown dogs. Something morally reprehensible and makes one wonder about the conscience of such.
Or someone, as a boy tortured animals and grew up to be President. (George W.Bush)
Sometimes it is the men who are not straying that engender the most damage.
If only Cheney bedded a lot of women, it would have distracted him from destroying our nation and the planet writ large.
Ditto for Bush, Gonzalez, Rumsfeld and the whole corrupt crew. In fact, folks from the Obama camp are starting to resemble their predecessors.
Get them mistresses.
STAT.
Today, as always, Indict Bush.
