    I am home right now getting ready to go into town to pick my child and are noticing that all the national affliates are preempting programing to show Tiger Woods give a statement....

    My question is WHY!

    Seriously how is this "News" beyond ESPN or the nightly sports section of local news?

    (Damn it I was gonna watch Whoopi and the gals on the View!)

    Whether or not he's 'important' is beside the point. What matters is that people will watch.

    Omg, the local morning show here is playing Tiger Bingo about Tiger's statement. Classic

    I am sorry but this narcissistic cheater doesn't deserve the airtime......beyond his playing a golf tournament!

    The real question is not if Tiger's pronouncements are important. They are not. The real question is what very important thing is happening now that Tiger is a distraction from. That is how the propaganda agencies operate. They put out a bunch of tripe to distract from important matters.

    Question.....I don't know if this is hijacking or not, if it is tell me. My question is..............Does Tiger Woods have to apologize to anybody other than his family, and sponsers? Does he owe the public an apology? This is all a hey to do over nothing to me.

    I agree with you Yknot ...all this Tiger stuff in the news is a massive overkill..Who the heck cares?

    That's a good question. People place athletes on a pedestal and promote them as role models to kids. Did Tiger, or anyone other sports star ask to be role models to kids? Some will argue no...they're just professional sports people, their private lives are just that...private. Others argue yes; by becoming a star in your sport, you know that kids look up to you and want to emulate you, so you owe it to them to be a proper role model.

    I personally don't care. I love sports, but I don't worship the stars. I expect them to help my team win and in return I'll go to a game or wear a jersey. Outside of that what they do on their own is their business.

    Tiger doesn't owe my anything. What he does off the golf course doesn't impact my life one bit. Actually what he does on the course doesn't either, other to entertain me when I watch.

    If we held politicians to the same ideals and behavior we expect from Tiger Woods or Tony Romo or Derek Jeter, maybe we could clean up the government a little.
