Apologies

Yesterday, Tiger Woods gave a public apology to the many people he disappointed with his actions. For the most part he apologized to his wife, who he cheated on several times with several different women. He also apologized to all the kids he let down as a role model. I think what Tiger Woods did was wrong, that is no question, but its unfortunate that people in the public eye have to face the scrutiny on their personal lives. He didn't ask to become a role model because he plays the game of golf better than anyone. Unfortunately, that comes with the territory. Should he have to apologize for the choices he made to anyone other than his wife? I don't think so, but I guess Tiger knows a little bit more about public relations than I do. If this will help his image out, and keep his endorsements, then I guess he did what he had to do.

Well we've all heard about Tigers affairs, but my big question is who cares? This is not news, and should not be treated as it is a huge news story. I still don't understand why the guy is apologizing to the public. He should be apologizing to his wife and family. Yeah he made mistakes and was a bit of a dirt bag, but seriously why are people so upset over it like he cheated on them? The news interviewed a random woman on the street what she thought of the situation. She proceeded to go on and on about how Tiger really hurt her and how disgraceful it is and she could never forgive him. Ummmm what??! Those sound like words that should be coming out of Elin's mouth, not the 45 year old waitress in midtown! You can never forgive him? Ok lady no offense but I don't think Tiger really cares, he should be focused on his own family. People seem to love to take things personally, and I just dont really understand. I understand if you feel let down, but lets limit it to that!

Why did Tiger Woods have to make a whole speech that was aired on numerous networks? They made it seem like he was the President making his State of the Union speech, but really he was just issuing an apology about his multiple affairs. I don’t know if it was his monotone voice or that I really couldn’t care less about what he did with his personal life, but I had to turn his speech off that I caught on a repeat of the news. Obviously what he did was extremely wrong, but what he did is his own personal life and I do not think a public apology for the entire world to hear was necessary. He should have made an apology to his wife in private and be done with it publicly. I do feel because he made a public announcement, the media is going to have a field day with his speech. The media is going to analyze this in any way possible to get ratings and/or spread more rumors.
