As most of us already know the interesting and shocking story about Tiger Wood's and his mistresses, he finally went public and offered an appolgy on Feburary 19, 2010. In his apolgy speech he focused on his wife, his children, friends, co-workers, and the public fans who looked to him as a role model. The speech was around 14 minutes and with 40 of his closest associates. The apologetic toned Wood's keep his speech on a constant flow, only to raise his voice during the time in his speech where he defends his wife from violently attcking him. He makes a point that the reason he thought he could get aways with such behavior was because he, "worked hard his whole life" to get to where he is (finacially and famously) and "normal rules didn't apply to him." He felt he was "entiled" to act the way he did, and "thanks to money and fame," his tempations were easy to find. Tiger basically knows he was selfish and knows about all the people he has hurt and dissapointed. He wants to live a life of entegrity and he believes, "its not about what you achieve in life, its about what you overcome."
There are three kinds of people the circle around Tiger Wood's issue and they all will have a different approach on forgiving him. First is the people that will never like him again, second is the people who will forgive and help him on his way to a postive future, and lastly is the people who realy don't care about the issue. I simply was pretty shocked at first when I heard about his issue, but I didn't go overboard and what to know every little detail about it. I guess I was one of those people who didn't really care much for it. Either way the guy is doing the first step to a better life and he cant change the past.
On another note, Tiger Wood's behavior gave the media a craze to work with and he will always be known for this. Many comedians have made jokes and quotes about this issue and the audiences thrive off of celebrity mess ups. I recently play a simple game called Tiger Woods Wife Outrun, I got the score of 62 on it. Try and play, its nothing special but kind of funny if you are simply minded like me. Tell me your score in your comment below..haha

I've personally never been a big Tiger Woods fan, no matter how amazing he might be at golf, how much fortune and fame he has, or what he has overcome. And when I found out about his little mishap, I really didn't think about it one way or another. However, when I watched his apology on ESPN, I kind of thought it was pathetic. It didn't seem/sound very sincere at all. Kind of just like something he felt he had to do, so did it. I really could care less about where he goes from here or what happens to him. That probably sounds bad but he's just another celebrity with a bunch of problems.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I didn't play that game. Haha.
