Following the Tiger Woods saga is like watching a train wreck happening in front of us. His Mr Clean image is shot to ribbons. As of now, I think he’s up to 11 girlfriends with whom he’s been cheating on his wife.
In the only statement I’m aware of since the news of his extra-marital activities got out he said this:
I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values
What exactly are those values, Tiger? I’d say the answer is self-evident in your behaviour in rooting around with all and sundry. Surely values are reflected in a person’s behaviour, rather than what they say they are. If your values didn’t say shagging everything in sight is ok, you wouldn’t be doing it. Simple.
I think Tiger’s values in reality were probably along the lines of:
- I’m special and the world centres around me
- I can have and do anything I want
- women exist for my enjoyment
- I’m untouchable and won’t get caught.
I agree with your thoughts. Americans put Tiger Woods upon a pedestal where he didn’t belong. But I am tired of hearing about him. There are more important issues out there than another famous person having an affair.
