Tracy Matlack I am sure by now everyone has had a chance to see with their own eyes, or at least hear about Tiger Woods’ news conference last week. The one where he apologized for causing the scandal that has torn his family apart.
That should have been good enough. Let’s get on with our lives. You see, my life doesn’t revolve around what happens in Hollywood or what our overpaid sports icons do with their lives. And contrary to what a large population of Americans believe, I think we should get out of the man’s private affairs. Just because he is in the limelight doesn’t mean that we have to know every tid-bit of scandalous information the media can pick out of his personal life. But, there are some who just can’t let it alone.
Emily Miller, columnist from Politics Daily states, “As for this female, I think if Tiger Woods wants privacy for his personal life, he should give back all the money and quit golf. Then, he can have all the privacy he wants.”
Even though Tiger apologized to the appropriate wounded parties (his wife, his family, his fans and his sponsors), that apparently wasn’t good enough for everyone. Almost immediately after his speech, attorney, Gloria Allred held a news conference in Los Angeles and called his apology “a public relations stunt” and a “disgrace.”
There always has to be those who have to keep things going, can’t let it go. So America, hold on because this Tiger Woods thing is going to be in our faces for quite a while. I say, “Get a life America and mind your own business!”
Leave me a comment, I would like to see what America thinks!

I am all for Tiger apologizing. Why wouldn’t we champion an apology? I am kind of surprised at all those castigating him for apologizing. Kind of shocks me and it shouldn’t.
What he did was wrong, and there will continue to be consequences for his actions, but this and other apologies are the first steps. He should do his best to make amends. And we should let him.
And a big shout out to my sis for writing this…go, Tracy!
Right you are Ted. Yes, what he did is wrong, but who are we to judge? How can we even pretend to know how he felt when saying his apology? We are so quick to judge and condemn people. I agree, we should encourage him and allow him to try to make things right. I am sure all of these people who are throwing the stones are not free from doing stupid things themselves! Those without sin, cast the first stone!
I say who cares. Great he apologized. He should of just apologized to his wife though, because the whole ordeal is between them.
He didn’t hurt my feelings. I don’t care what money he makes or doesn’t make… Just get back on the golf course and play some golf, and stop being a drama queen.
Soaps are for the daytime channels…
Well the guy just wanted to play golf but ended up being a celebrity! Unjustly or otherwise being a celebrity puts you in a special morality realm – you are esteemed for your particular gift but you are expected to show similarly high standards in all areas of your life. It just goes with the job so to speak. My take on this is like other celebrities he is in the limelight and should say when he f+++ks up just so we don’t all get confused about what’s right and wrong. Can’t have young would-be golfers thinking that kind of behviour is OK in marriage -can we? But like the rest of us, he needs forgiveness, and then move on. Good job Tracy!
Tiger Woods is a very good golfer but his reputation as a cheating husband made him a bad character.:.`
