Tiger Woods... I have a problem with you.
My boyfriend is a fanatic about Tiger Woods. I am convinced that if he ever got the chance to meet Tiger or play a round of golf with him, his behavior would be compared to those 13 year old Twilight fans that are "Team Edward". Since the Tiger Woods scandal has broken he is Tiger's fiercest protector. He is adamant that Tiger deserves his "privacy" to deal with these very private family matters.
I on the other hand disagree. Tiger, here is my beef with you.
To me, it is not that you cheated on your wife, although that in of itself disgusts me and now makes me never want to play Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 again, it is that you have made your living not by being just a GREAT golfer but by endorsements such as NIKE, Wheaties, American Express and Titlist to just name a fee.
If Tiger had just stuck to golf and earned a living off of his winnings then I would be ok with him wanting privacy. But, Tiger you made $40 million dollars off NIKE alone. You did advertisements, commercials and wore apparel that represented the companies of our culture and population. You made golf "cool" to a younger generation of people who only associated it with their grandparents and Sunday afternoons. Most of us in our early 20's and 30's think that Tiger is pretty much the only person who plays golf. You made your millions off of consumers buying the products that you endorsed. Granted, you only got offered these contracts because you were a GREAT golfer, but you could have said NO when NIKE offered up the swoosh.
The consumers are the ones who paid for that gorgeous house in Florida that you are hiding in and also that Escalade that you smashed. You chose to live in the limelight when you put your first NIKE baseball cap on. So, don't get mad at us for not letting your family deal "privately" with your indiscretions. We want to know what the HELL you were thinking? You had everything; a golf career envied by all the champions, endorsement deals paying for all your high end living, a model gorgeous wife and two beautiful children. You made your bed when you became the NIKE golf swoosh so don't get upset at us just because we found out that you had other women besides your wife laying in it and want to know why.
Tiger, here is some advice from one of PEOPLE magazine's Sexiest Men Alive, Tim McGraw:
Women don't
want sexy
they want cool
But cool is sexy
aint't that the rule
Women don't want sexy
they want strong
but strong is sexy
all day long
Women don't want
sexy, they want
love and love is
sexy more than enough
Me...I don't want
to be sexy
I just wanna live life,
Growing old with
my sexy wife
