Tiger Racist?

I will bet Tiger weighs more than a duck.

I must be a racist too because I like the barbie doll types too.

I'm an Equal Opportunity Enjoyer.

Doubt if a golfer is a hero to too many black kids anyways. My heroes when I was a kid were Bob Gibson and Lou Brock, two baseball players for the St Louis Cardinals who happen to be black. Can't call them role models. My dad was my role model.

My dad was my role model.

Don't you think not having a dad in their life can leave a big hole that can be filled with any idiot like this or any other sports hero? It is not a matter of what sport they play, it is about being a successful black man, and you can certainly say Tiger is that.

And it is not just the black community, the white community are now seeing the same problem on a smaller (but growing) scale where fathers are not involved in raising their children on a daily basis and the children are looking for a male figure to look up to.

I am so sick of this story. Nancy Grace shows nothing else now. Let's face it Tiger is a good looking, successful, guy. He probably gets hit on several times a day. Who knows why he chose the woman he did, could just be because they are sexy to him.

Kids role models should be their parents. Why is so much pressure being put on Tiger? Cut the already.

When the powerful fall, it is news unfortunately.

Most of my loving this story is how other people are reacting to it, not Tiger himself.

I do wonder this though......if the situation was reversed, and the man had been beating the **** out of his wife with a golf club, would the cops had let it go? Somehow I doubt it.

Anyway, I don't feel bad for Tiger in the slightest, he was weak, and is getting the penalty for being weak.

Atlantic, don't think for a second that Tiger is the only man in a committed relationship who has to exercise self control. Wearing a wedding band and having a job is all you need for some women to hit on you no matter what you look like.

Sure his money and fame may have increased it some but at the end of the day, he asked for all of this, nobody forced him to sell his image and take the billions of dollars, that was his choice to live this life.

The only people I feel bad for is the wife and kids, the kids are very young now but I am sure they will one day know about these things and the wife will never be able to go anywhere for the rest of her life without everyone she meets knowing her husband slept around on her all the time.

The real question is, will she think this leopard will change his spots?

Sure he feels bad "NOW" because he got busted, but two years down the road after all this has been forgotten, will the personality that gave into temptation still be there? It is like a drug addiction, most will "fall of the wagon" over and over again their entire life.

TJ, I understand where you are coming from as far as men getting hit on all the time. I was a bartender in my 20's I get it.

I do feel bad for all involved, especially the kids.

I also feel that this is his personal life, not everybody's **** business.

I also feel that this is his personal life, not everybody's **** business.

My point on this part is by selling his image to the public, all aspects of his image, both good and bad, become the business of the public.

The people "paid" for the right to both adore, and attack him.

Tiger was happy for the public attention when he was making billions of dollars off of that attention, too late to cry about the attention now. He got exactly what he was on his knees begging for. I do not feel bad for him in the slightest, no matter how bad this attention gets, he still has billions of dollars he has made almost exclusively from the positive attention he got.

There is an old saying:

You gotta take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got, remember what you had, always forgive, never forget, learn from mistakes, never regret, people change, things go wrong but just remember, Life goes on. ~ unknown

I'll make a prediction though, if she decides to stay with him, he will cheat again. Someone who has broken his vows so many times already does not possess the character to ever be faithful again.

Who gives?! Him having a certain preference doesn't make him racist. Although he could be...but who cares. He's still an eejit. If he wanted to ***** himself to so many women, he should have remained single and been honest with everyone involved.

Latest news is that child protection services have been to the home concerning a report of the couple having physical confrontations in front of the children.

Also, the wife has been seen in public not wearing her wedding band and has purchased with her own money a large mansion back in her home country.

Things are not looking good for the couple at this point, as should be expected.
