Tiger Woods Crashes Into Tree and Fire Hydrant. Next!
As Serena Williams is fined $82,000.00 for her outburst earlier this year and Tiger Woods repeatedly refuses to speak to police after wrecking his car into a fire hydrant Thanksgiving night/early Friday morning, I again ask the question, are we entitled to know each and every action and detail of these professionals lives and are we the culprits for making them bigger than life, thus the ultimate bad guy when they mess up?
So a physically battered Tiger Woods wrecks HIS car due to….??? Does the “due to” part matter? Does it matter if he is having an affair and his outraged wife was chasing him and bashing in his SUV window with (probably his) golf clubs? Shouldn’t the big picture be that he is alive, still a father, still a husband, still a son and most importantly to many, still able to keep doing what he does best, entertain the masses?
If I break the law, do you want to know? Absolutely not because to you, I am a nobody. How have we as society put these people so far up on a pedestal that human mess ups are under such public scrutiny? I do believe with some jobs you have to take the good and the bad and give up PARTS of your private life for the adoring fans but I also believe there is a line where privacy should be respected. If Tiger Woods was abused by his wife and chooses not to press charges why does he have to talk to the police? Or if Tiger Woods did run HIS automobile in a fire hydrant, has the means to pay for the damage (and then some), it’s been determined alcohol was not a factor, why does he have to talk to the police? Is it really about the law or is it just curiosity?
Why do so many non-news matters make headlines while real newsworthy events take a back seat? There are times when I actually feel uncomfortable and embarrassed listening to “news” stories because the information is so personal to the person under attack. If Tiger and his wife are having marital issues, so what! If we ALL stopped and reminisced on our own marital/family/personal issues and the horrifying thought of how we would feel if the details came to light, we’d be real quiet and just pray for Tiger wouldn’t we!
Holla back!
This is what people love: a scandal. It is a break from many of our predictable, yet fun, lives.
When talking about the news, I think it is one of the most controlling things in the world. They would rather talk about Tiger Woods than let everyone know that Chevron, Exxon/Mobile and other oil companies have been making record profits over the last 8 years. They want to talk about health care for everyone instead of telling us that it will turn into a system similar to the military: Vitamin M (Motrin) for almost everything that ails you.
The news is there to sensationalize the things that will occupy our time and keep us from realizing what is really going on.

I can relate to this one. My ex went nuts on me. Women are crazy.
I think Tiger Woods should not have to explain anything to the public, if he is cited for wrecking his car, that should be the end of it. He has no obligation to his fans to talk about his private life, his public face is as a golfer and that is what he should let us see. None of us would want people probing into our private lives.
@Ruben – I agree!!!
It’s all about the money. I was just thinking about the Jewish man called Jesus. He went through the same thing.
I agree with Charles, It is all about money. The news people are trying to out do each other to see who can get the biggest story. They would not like it if someone came into their homes and made their family problems public. Tiger has not done any more than anyone else. All married couples have problems every now and then, Why make his public. Instead of them worrying about Tiger, they should be pressing charges on the couple that got into the White House dinner party. If that was someone out to kill the President, they would have had him and the nut out there that is really out to kill him sees how easy it is to get to him.

The man has enough money to buy the city a street full of fire hydrants and then some. They are trying to blacken his name. Try as they might, he is still the greatest Golfer that ever lived, they can not stand that.

I don’t think his color is the issue. They was shooting coochie pictures of the Spears lady and following her everywhere. I think it’s the money they are after. Plus the media likes tearing down anyone who has a clean image.
Got nothing to do with color, the guy just messed up. The whole situation is sad, especially for his wife and kids.
@Joe – Hi Joe. Glad to have you visit us at kleverkathy.com! I agree… the guy just messed up!
