Tiger Woods has proverbially slapped every single fan of his in the face.  He has endlessly promoted being with family and how important it is being a great parent.  Tiger allowed us to all be awed by the pure fact that he was not only the greatest Golfer, but also a great Role Model.

 

 

Although I continue being a huge fan of Tiger on the golf course, I have to rework the fact that maybe people like Tiger and Peyton Manning aren’t really the Family Men and great people they themselves promote.   If Tiger’s infidelity doesn’t bother you, then you too have probably become so numb to the fact that TMZ, US, and all the other garbage shows and magazines have become more than just gossip.  They are now what fuels a quick and overreacting World.

 

I’ll root for Tiger and hope he becomes even a 1/10th of the man he has endlessly promoted in the past.  Good Luck Tiger, I’m still a Fan.

Here is a discussion between me and Justin earlier today.  Agree or disagree with what’s being said below, just a bunch of comments being thrown out as we quickly react to Tiger’s story. (It’s an AIM convo…forgive any grammar) 

——————————————————————————–

Put em downs (7:15:32 AM): so you know the real story behind the tiger woods deal

Howes (7:16:7 AM): yeah i heard the audio of him saying erase the voicemail

Howes (7:16:37 AM): i’m not caught up in all the gossip, it just saddens me a bit that tiger isn’t as perfect as he portrays himself to be

Put em downs (7:16:41 AM): his wife found out about it chased him with a golf club he jumps in his car and starts to run away and loses control of the car and crashes and she busts the window out to get to him to beat him up with the club

Howes (7:16:59 AM): he needs to divorce her though.

Put em downs (7:17:06 AM): well they have kids

Put em downs (7:17:10 AM): if they didn’t i would say yes

Put em downs (7:17:28 AM): whoever he is married to should be fine with him sleeping with whoever

Put em downs (7:17:45 AM): he makes a fucking 100 million dollars a year. let his his ass sleep with whoever he wants

Howes (7:18:32 AM): no they shouldnt

Howes (7:18:40 AM): Tiger Woods has done this to himself.

Howes (7:18:58 AM): he has constantly portrayed the family man crap and to the point of it being sickenly boring.

Put em downs (7:19:18 AM): well

Howes (7:19:38 AM): if tiger is half the man he says he is, he will stick it out with his wife and work on being a 1/10th of that man he portrays

Howes (7:20:05 AM): thats all he and his family deserve, he owes nothing to us other than the apology he released today.

Put em downs (7:20:7 AM): i am sad that he isn’t as perfect as i thought

Howes (7:20:38 AM): i think he maybe is as perfect as we thought though, just not with his current wife

Howes (7:20:46 AM): he just made some mistakes

Howes (7:20:49 AM): i dont know…

Put em downs (7:22:46 AM): well

Put em downs (7:22:59 AM): honestly i don’t give a shit about his personal life

Put em downs (7:23:10 AM): i do a little bit, but not nearly as much as his golf career

Put em downs (7:23:22 AM): no man is perfect

Put em downs (7:23:33 AM): no matter how good they are at a sport or how much money they make

Howes (7:23:36 AM): i think it’s okay to care about it.  he’s a role model

Put em downs (7:23:46 AM): agreed, i just don’t care

Put em downs (7:23:54 AM): i think a lot of kids will care

Put em downs (7:23:56 AM): and should care

Howes (7:23:56 AM): and i can see why people are so outraged

Put em downs (7:23:59 AM): because they look up to him

Howes (7:24:09 AM): it doesnt mean they have to stop looking up to him

Put em downs (7:24:11 AM): i just don’t care about it. i just like to watch him own people at golf

Howes (7:24:22 AM): just cause he made a few poor choices…

Put em downs (7:24:45 AM): agreed, i mean jack did the same shit i believe

Put em downs (7:24:55 AM): and people still look up to him like a god

Put em downs (7:25:18 AM): i just think people have such high expectations and looked at him so highly that they are super let down by this

Howes (7:25:23 AM): i just hope tiger comes out and says it…not just through some artificial shit on a website

Put em downs (7:25:33 AM): i hope he doesn’t

Howes (7:25:44 AM): yeah true

Put em downs (7:25:45 AM): i think he should just leave it how it is

Howes (7:25:52 AM): and go win all 4 majors

Howes (7:25:53 AM): lol

Put em downs (7:25:55 AM): and move on and it will eventually go away

Put em downs (7:25:57 AM): yes

Put em downs (7:26:04 AM): thats the only way to get past this

Put em downs (7:26:16 AM): if he has a shit year they will not stop talking about him cheating

Howes (7:26:16 AM): i think this may make him even better, him vs the world

Put em downs (7:26:36 AM): so much pressure though.. he has a lot riding on his performance this year

Howes (7:26:45 AM): thats when he’s the best.

Put em downs (7:26:54 AM): he is really hard on himself.. i could see him having a break down and quitting golf forever

Put em downs (7:26:55 AM): or some shit

Howes (7:26:57 AM): just hope he doesn’t crack

Put em downs (7:27:14 AM): if he does i will cry myself to sleep

Howes (7:27:19 AM): he wont quit

Put em downs (7:27:27 AM): he doesn’t need the money

Howes (7:27:36 AM): he’s going to do what michael did when people talked shit bout him…a big suck it and keep dominating

Put em downs (7:27:51 AM): i wonder if he will lose any endorsements

Put em downs (7:28:09 AM): ya i hope so

Howes (7:28:28 AM): i doubt it

Howes (7:28:45 AM): if anything, this may make him even a bigger star in the long run when it all blows over

Put em downs (7:29:05 AM): yeah

Put em downs (7:29:21 AM): he doesn’t really need anymore publicity than he already has

Put em downs (7:29:33 AM): every tournament he plays in, hes the only one they talk about

Put em downs (7:29:40 AM): and even the ones he doesn’t play in
