On Tiger Woods’ Public Apology
I can’t help but have an opinion with all the Tiger Woods coverage! I mean, he’s all over the news and everyone seems to have an opinion about him and his public apology. I can’t help but hear them and form an opinion myself.
On the subject of whether he needs to publicly apologize at all , because he is a public figure, I guess he should be – publicly apologizing! Afterall, he’s been looked up to somehow as a wholesome role model of some sort, not only by his American fans but also by a lot of Asian fans. He has a worldwide fanbase. And maybe a lot of aspiring young golfers or not wants to be like him, it is very important for his young fans to hear from him that even with much fame and fortune that he has, he is NOT entitled to any bad behavior.
On the subject of his sincerity, who knows if he is really sincere? He appeared sincere to me. He said he was sorry, and he looked sorry. I don’t need to see the man sobbing and crying while saying he’s sorry when it’s not his personality to do that. If he has to read his speech, then go for it. And, what more can he say at this time? What more can he do, really?
On the subject of his wife not being there during his speech , … my reaction is – thank God she’s not there! I really hate to see women standing-by-their-man in that sort of way, looking dumb and stupid with nothing to say. She’s not the one who needs to apologize. And she doesn’t need to support him while he apologizes to her, so I’m glad she left him on his own to do what he needed to do. On whether, they should stay married or not, is none of my business.
On the subject of whether he needs to be apologizing to the other women is actually puzzliing to me. Why? What exactly did these other women expect him to be apologizing for? Should he be apologizing to them for choosing his wife and family over each and everyone of them? As far as I know, none of these other women were coerced to have a relationship with him, or it would have been ‘rape’, and all this will be a criminal issue. But the fact of the matter is they were consenting adults on a cheating relationship. And there’s not just one but a lot of them. Should he be apologizing only to those who came out, to the one he got pregnant first, and then the one he was caught with? Or should he be mentioning each and everyone of them, all the 20 or so of these other women. It even puzzles me that some of them came out. I question their motivation for coming out – hired a lawyer, a publicist and have been interviewed and added themselves to the spectable. And as far as apologizing goes, I think these other women should be the ones apologizing as well to the wife PRIVATELY, for being his accomplice to his very bad behavior. Or, they really need to just shut up, move on, and stop putting the spotlight on themselves. Again, I hate to see women acting dumb and stupid.
