…….but it was always about the money.[/quote]

Wow how insightful you claim to be. How can you know that?

Take a hard look at Tiger. Take away the money, the fame, The pro athlete aura and your left with Eldrick Tont Woods, plumber. [/quote]

Not exactly. And, you did “take away” the things he worked very hard to accomplish. He would still be a very talented golfer, with a degree from Stanford, who gives generously to charities.

And, I noticed you didn’t take away his wife’s only claim to fame to make it even: her looks. If she was an unattractive woman, where do you think she would be right now?

By the way, you may be right about the money issue. It certainly shouldn’t be a surprise if that was true.

In any event, it appears that Tiger is your typical high profile athlete with no moral compass. But, like the banks, he has become “too big to fail”. Despite the standard morality clauses in his various endorsement contracts, he will remain untouched. It would be borderline negligence for a corporation to cancel his contract considering how much money his name brings in.

Which begs the questions:

Does he lack a moral compass because he got married, had children, and then lied to his wife about mating with other women?

or

Does he lack a moral compass because he lied to HIMSELF about wanting to mate with other women, and then put himself in the position of being married with children, where such extracurricular mating would be frowned upon?

My point is that having sex with a bunch of different women isn’t wrong, in and of itself. Or a sign of a wayward moral compass. At least in my opinion. It’s when you lie to yourself and others (with the impact on both) regarding your desire to do so that it becomes a problem.

As Chris Rock has pointed out: “A man is only as faithful as his opportunities.” It’s when a man tries to deny this fundamental truth that he gets himself into trouble.

Dave: I actually don’t think morals or lack of same has anything to do with it.

Regardless of sport, the behavior remains the same: Some superannuated teenager who has spent his entire adult life and most of his youth being told how special he is and that the rules don’t apply to him, goes out and behaves in exactly the same way he always has, except this time he gets caught.

Impassioned denials from his coterie/entourage/family/handlers/corporate minders, followed by the usual spin and add in the requisite amount of time to let things die down and then back to business as usual.

The idea that Tiger is any different than any of these other spoiled brats is laughable. Witness Michael Jordan’s recent speech, where he openly berates, mocks and derides those whom he perceived as wronging him, regardless of how slight. None of these people live in the real world and probably haven’t since junior high.
