Let's Give Tiger Woods a Break

Everybody is after Tiger Woods this week.  Everyone’s a genius. Everyone thinks they know what happened. All of the racket being made on the blogs this week is embarassing and annoying. So let me add to the ruckus with my two cents worth.

I don’t care.

It’s not as if Tiger was a contender for the White House in 2012. It’s not as if Tiger was the pastor of a megachurch frequently railing against infidelity. Heck. It’s not as if Tiger was ever even much of a role model for anyone.

Tiger Woods is an athlete, nothing more and nothing less. Just like Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, David Beckham and other well known sports stars who have been accused of infidelity.

Whether the allegations about Tiger are true or false, should we really be surprised? Are we so naive to assume that just because he has usually managed to keep his private life out of the public eye that he is somehow the world’s best husband?

Give me a break. Give Tiger a break. This is just business as usual in the celebrity world.

Memo to all you bloggers out there writing ‘open letters’ to Tiger this week: Get a life! No one – least of all  Tiger himself – could care less about you or your puny little tirades.
