In the case of Tiger Woods. A person at the top of the Golf game and will go down in history as one of the best hands down. Not to long ago probably 2 weeks ago Woods was in a minor car accident according to the new/media. Initially when I first found out about the incident I was o ok is he ok, any major injuries if not hes fine. But then the news was reporting that the police and other authorities were going to have further investigation about the accident. My initial thought was millions of celeberties have accidnets all the time. They just want to find some kind dirt to bring him down, or why cnat they just leave him alone already. But after a few days I later found out that Tiger was involved in multiple partners other than his wife and mother of his child of over 5 years. Something of this nature is definitely not a public invitation to his life. Personally what another man does in his personal life is his own unless he willingly adressed the situation without outside irretation. Which is definitely not the case here. Yes he committed something very wrong according to a few religion, and laws all over the world. Yes he is definitely humaliated that the circumstancwes put his laundry out inthe public to be seen. Yes people will look at him differently. However Tiger Woods or A-K-A born as Eldrick Tont Woods on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California is defenitely not perfect on or of the field.
Like I stated in the begining at the end of the day everyone is human. Mistakes will happen and continue to happen if not the world would not be what it is. Progressful. Creative. Beautiful. Earth. Sometime mistakes for someone is a warning for someone else.
Your first quote says it all James and that is in the end Tiger Woods is a human being too. We all have made mistakes that we wish we could take back but the reality is we cant. All we can do is learn from them and become a better person. I think sometimes we forget that celebrities and athletes are just as vulnerable as you and me. Maybe even more in Tiger's case. I am sure he has to deal with women throwing themselves at him and to have to push them away all the time becomes difficult or tiring. No human being can be prepared for celebrity status and not one person is perfect in this world. All we can do is hope Tiger learns from his mistakes and become a stronger person.
ReplyDeleteI do not refute that Tiger Woods is human, that we all are. What makes this newsworthy to the rest of us is that Tiger Woods traded on his image--not only as arguably the greatest golfer ever, but also as a man with integrity, a family man. While I believe he must deal with that privately, I believe he will never be viewed the same by the public, and that matters to the sponsors who signed him.
