Drum roll please.......I found my current blog information in People Magazine! If you didn't read my past blog then you need to know that I am a People Magazine junkie! I love it and can't get enough of it! The story I would like to discuss today would the controversy surrounding Tiger Woods. For those of you who are not familiar with Tiger Woods, he is on of the greatest golfers of all time. He is what Micheal Jordan was to the basketball world. Tiger Woods has always had a squeaky clean image, and is now facing divorce and public scrutiny by having numerous affairs on his beautiful wife.
I, by no means am a sports person. It's just not my thing. But every once in a while someone comes along and stands out in the crowd. For me that person was Tiger Woods. I was extremely disappointed when I heard what was happening with him.
He always seemed to have it all. A wonderful family, great up-bringing, fantastic career, beautiful wife, great kids. And it's as if he let it all slip away. He has been linked to having as many as a dozen different affairs. I guess the reason I was so disappointed by this news is because he seemed like he was so different from all the other celebrities that you hear about. I can truly say that I held him on a pedestal of integrity. It was a very disheartening moment for me. Now as a result of his now very public affairs, he is facing divorce, his sponsors are bailing on him, he's no longer the "man" he was suppose to be.
Who knows why he did what he did. Maybe he was never the perfect poster boy he appeared to be, maybe he wants out of the lime-light, maybe he did it for some attention. With out walking in his shoes, I really shouldn't be so harsh and judgmental. I actually feel like slapping myself on the back of the hand for throwing out accusations with out knowing the whole story, but I do know that I will never be able to think of Tiger Woods as the great icon that I once did.
