why are so many media and regular people up in arms over the format? why the heck his sex life is any of our business, i do not understand. other than his wife and kids, he owes nobody anything in way of an explanation.

Because he was one of the best role models for kids for almost 12 years. He owes everyone answers. No on wants to ask him whether or not he ****ed them in the ass or how big his cock is. All the want to know is why, how long, and what really happened?Comment -
Couldn't agree more. None of our business.Originally posted by hoopster42Comment -
he's a really great golfer, the 2nd or 1st best ever along with nicklaus. that's all he is. kids need to look up to their parents and their teachers, not athletes. he owes nobody anything. it's not his fault that kids view him as "role models". that's a society problem, not a tiger problem. he has a right to live his life how he wants to and owes no one an explanation.Originally posted by GiveMeaBJComment -
Disagree. We could argue about this all day but I will just cut it off here. I don't care whether or not he says a word, I think he should, but I wouldn't be upset. However, I understand why people would.Originally posted by hoopster42Comment -
Tiger is a massive worldwide celebrity, might be one of top 3 most popular people in the worldComment -
i still don't get why ppl think he should answer questions from the media. "hey tiger, who was the best lay in all the women you cheated with". come on man, leave the guy alone. it's between him, his wife, and his kids. no one else should need anything from himComment -
He will not be answering ? from the media. Sounds like he is headed back to rehab after. Gonna be a long road if he could ever get back in her good graces.Comment -
Does he owe me an apology? No. He owes one to the PGA Tour, its members, all the sponsors who've paid him tens of millions of dollars, and countless others I can't think of at the moment.
He's an SOB (I'll try to keep this G-rated), his caddie is an SOB, his agent is an SOB, the president of his primary sponsor is an SOB. I don't care if he ever plays again; my love of the game will be just fine with him or without him.
And today's circus is NOT a press conference; it's a statement, and there is a world of difference in their levels of legitimacy.Comment -
Well considering he made 700 million dollars on his public image----I think he certainly does owe an explanation.Originally posted by hoopster42
He spent his entire life cultivating a bunch of bullshit and every product he forced, and that nauseating family values speech he gave at accenture last year was a joke----so yeah, he does owe a lot of people an apology.
His f'in foundatin---which his wife runs----has "FAMILY VALUES AND MORAL DECISION MAKING" in its mission statement---every time he got a check from Joe Golf Fan--for that foundation---I think he owes them an apology too.Comment -
How about this question,Originally posted by hoopster42
"Tiger, when you accepted almost 11 million dollars for your foundation last year----a foundation founded on what you said were family values and moral decision making---did you feel like a hypocrite, knowing you weren't living up to the very same standards you promoted?"Comment -
He played the role of a role model for 12 years and made close to a billion dollars with his image
He has to talk , no other wayComment -
JJ---good to see you back on your game!Originally posted by jjgold

"Public figures" are a special class in the laws of slander and other interference torts. In some areas they are better protected and in others they are more exposed. This is because the law recognizes that public figures enjoy some enhanced status in society because of their relationship with the public. In recognition of of this special relationship the law has deemed that the public figures owe some special duties to that public and the public must respect those figures differently than they would anyone else.
This doesn't dictate that Tiger have a press conference about his marital life but it just points out that this ain't no guy from the local pro shop.Comment -
Maybe I'm able to parse better than others, but there seems to be a difference between what Tiger does and what the Foundation does. If the Foundation helps young people, and I gave money to it, it wouldn't bother me that its founder was an ass. It's about helping people.Originally posted by MartinBlank
I am firmly in the "he owes us no apolgy" camp. The current complaints of the media are artifically related to their jobs. They like being in control at press conferences and they won't be in this one.Comment -
It isn't about helping people or not helping people. I think a case could be made that those people will get the help they need with or without Tiger Woods.Originally posted by jgray
The issue is that Tiger LOOKS good and takes the credit for the work his foundation does----by doing it on the skank.
I would respect Woods more if he said "Hey, I'm a playa--I fuk bitches, and I cheat on my wife--oh, and I want you to donate money so I can give it to the poor...peace out, y'all".
At least then he would be honest.Comment -
Are the kids more helped if he is honest? Are they given a better opportunity if he is honest. I could make an argument that his DIShonesty actually helps the kids more. People will donate more to the foundation if Tiger is the "good" guy rather than the "player" guy.Originally posted by MartinBlankComment -
well, that depends.Originally posted by jgray
Color me crazy, but I think his role----should be one for kids to aspire to. Being dishonest does what for the kids he is trying to help and provide and example for?Comment -
The guy gets paid and caters to kids with his image, dumb fukk. Here's a great example: kids sports games http://www.golf.com/golf/gallery/art...1171-5,00.htmlOriginally posted by hoopster42

didnt i read somewhere that he knocked up a porn star twice? dunno if i can beleive that. how is she not getting knocked up every other day than?Comment -
newsflash: Tiger said is a "role model" because he knows he has to say that. he is trying to repair is public image. i agree w/what charles barkley said yrs ago: paraphrasing - "i'm not a role model, i'm a basketball player. be a role model to your own kids. don't ask me to be an example of what your kids should be"Comment -
did you go to college? any formal education?Originally posted by The SeerThis thread is an epic fail. Tiger himself admitted he was a role model in his presser.
tiger said: "many PARENTS point to me as a role model....", very different than: "I am a role model"
i had not watched the whole statement earlier but espn is replaying it. blinder, errr, seer, you heard what you WANTED to hear because you hate tiger so much 'cause you wish you could get ass like him
Comment -
So you are saying the tiger woods foundation has nothing to do with public image and character? lol, ok and your questioning my education which happens to be in Education. Charles Barkley is a one fine example to give. I'll give Charles the benefit of the doubt though. He didn't tout a foundation promoting character to children. Unreal. This has more to do with Tiger owing sponsors and children an explanation than hate.Originally posted by hoopster42did you go to college? any formal education?

Calm down Seer.Comment -
He's up there because he needs to repair his image. The guy stood to earn literally a billion dollars and a lot of that was based on selling his image.
I agree with the guys here. It's none of our business. This is the bad part of the internet IMO. Media is no longer the newspaper or Time maganzine. It's twitter and blogs and gossip sites. It's our fault. We don't turn away and the result is CNN and yahoo homepage can't turn the stories away.Comment -
you're the one that dropped the first verbal bomb by calling me a "dumbfukk" in post #19 for having the opinion i have.Originally posted by The Seer
"The guy gets paid and caters to kids with his image, dumb fukk."
fact: the earth is a sphere
fact: water is the liquid form of H2O
opinion: ryan seacrest is lame
opinion: tiger wood's sex life is none of our business
see the difference?
i have the right to have my opinion. and if i'm gona be called a dumbfukk for it, then i'm gona fire back
p.s. someone once said: "if you can't DO it, TEACH it". what do you think of that, "educator"?Comment -
I already did what I teach so that statement was made by an idiot. Later.Originally posted by hoopster42
That's exactly why he owes an apology to those that provided ( or helped) him an opportunity to help him make that $.Originally posted by Bill DozerComment -
I don't think Seer would forgive Tiger if she was his wife!
Its sad some people are so unforgiving and have no heart, Seer is a robot!Comment -
