I found an article about Tiger Woods on Sportsillustrated.com and it tells how he crashed his car and out of that came the truth that he had been having a string of affairs with multiple women behind the back of his wife. I think there's two major problems with the reporting of this story. Firstly, that he has been publicly named and shamed because of his fame. It has nothing to do with his golfing career and therefore should not be broadcast. And secondly, his poor wife must have been going through hell as it was without the cameras and media attention that this would have caused her. I can think of many people who have become famous and, as a result, have ended up in rehab because they had no idea how difficult it is to deal with that level of attention. I think it's wrong that famous people have their lives invaded so much. And I think their families probably suffer even more, and they aren't even the ones who chose to live in the spotlight!
I think Tiger behaved appallingly but I am sure he was punished enough with the break up of his marriage. It's nobody else's business what happened between him, those women, and his wife. And the pain would have been great enough without everybody else giving their opinion also. It has no bearing on his career and so that should not be affected because one's career is a separate part of one's life and should remain unaffected by other aspects.

ReplyDeleteHere's the article.
I agree that Tiger Woods cheating on his wife is no one else's business but himself, his wife, and the women he cheated on her with. It's not the public's concern what he did and why why they're correlating it with his career. The attention he got from it all was not shocking to the public eye, for some people love reading about dirty news about people's lives other than themselves. In addition,I don't believe that being famous isn't an easy task to do when camera's are always following your every move and your privacy is constantly invaded. The situation would have been handled more appropriately if the gossipers and cameras were not involved. However, the paparazzi have their job to fulfill the rest of the world and that's to spread celebrity gossip and get paid for it. It's a way to make the world go around. It's cruel but someone has to do it.
