Tiger Wood's apology statement.
Just curious what others thought about it.
Do you think it was a good apology, was he sincere enough?
Do you think the sex addiction/rehab angle is for real, or a cop out thing?

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
A definite cop out, his been caught to many times so he has to look like the victim as that is the only way to stop him looking so bad.
If he didn't want to sleep with other woman he would'nt sorry i don't believe its something you can be addicted to, thats a good excuse to use to sleep about

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
Personally, whatever happens in this man's own world is his own business not anyone elses, and everyone should mind their own business, I can't figure out why everyone has to be in other's peoples business anyways... like we are all us our ms and mr goody 2shoes, (edited), lol. JMO

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
Then tica...I think he should not have given a public statement. He brought us into it when he insisted on going public and holding this media event.
And since he did, I see nothing wrong with discussing it.

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
A talk-radio station around here, was discussing this very subject. Something struck me funny,most of the women wanted him strung up by his balls for what he did. They claimed that sex addiction is not a disease for a guy, yes, a guy, but nymphomania when referring to a woman suffering from the same addiction is legit. One even went on to say, "He should impeached from the game of golf forever, for what he did!" Last time I checked, you don't get elected to play golf...

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
No one is perfect, period. We all have our choice as to do things or not. What little I did see, he was using the sex addiction thing as a way to win back his public support, by trying to make us feel sorry for him. I have no ill feelings for him, he is a great golfer and always will be. That no one can take from him.

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
Although written and rehearsed, his apology seemed sincere.
The "straight-to-rehab-as-soon-the-news-breaks" is a bit of an old tired thing really, a bit of a cop out.
I sure don't want to see him strung up or banned from his sport. (Michael Vicks yes, but not Tiger)
I think he can rebound from it, it will never be forgotten but he can overcome, not sure any wife is so strong as to overcome this. My admiration to the woman if she can. No ill impression of her if she can't.

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
Just to mention it...
I'm "over it"....I never was "on it"....it's not like we have based our lives around this...it's just a topic.
I enjoy hearing what others think on just about everything.
Just asking what impression others had of his public statement.
So, one topic does not make an obssesion, it's just one more topic among many other topics. That's all it is.

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
I think that's the worst thing, that his wife has been publicly hurt, it's bad enough being hurt like that, but more then once, in the public eye, must be devastating for her and the family.
I must agree it shouldn't have any baring on his golf as that is a completely different issue.
And chazzy i have no problem having an adult discussion with what is happening in the world from time to time.

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
Did I hear this right?!...The women that Tiger cheated with all want an apology, because they thought that Tiger was cheating on his wife with them exclusively? The porn actress want one, because of the waitress. The waitress want another, because of the hair stylus, and the stylus want another, because of the madame...WTF!...They even got lawyer's to help them out!...Run for the hills Tiger!!!...

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
I thouoght his apology was pretty good, he took full responsibilty for his own actions, held only himself accountable and that's a pretty rare thing.

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
Tiger Woods has offered another apology, this time to parents of children at the preschool that his 2-year-old daughter attends.The letter that Woods and his wife, Elin, wrote to parents of children attending Premier Academy to apologize for increased media scrutiny around the school.
"We hope that the paparazzi will find something better to do with their time in the near future," the letter said.

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
all i have to say about this is, i really don't give a @#$@. i hate golf. big deal, he f'n cheated on his wife. if he was not a celebrity? would anyone even care? that's what's wrong with the world today, a famous person makes a mistake or two, and the media blows it all out of proportion, and in a year or two? some one else makes a mistake and the world forgets about the last celebrity. tell me, by this time next year? will anyone even remember what any of Tiger's mistresses names? does any one even know them right now? i don't.
he cheated on his wife, big deal. GET OVER IT.

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
Well, I think it's great entertainment. His self-flagellation & fake sincerity, the media feeding frenzy, the holier-than-thou sponsors dropping him, etc. etc. etc.
All based on the mistaken belief that anyone gives a flying fuck...
No one cared that President Clinton couldn't keep his dick in his pants so why should we worry about a block who spends his days hitting a little ball with a stick?

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
Lib made me giggle!
HBG, I do appreciate your direct and adult approach.
NRG, I'm still laughing!
Those all pissed of at the paps and media, that's why I limit my media news exposure. I catch the headlines in the morning, get most of my news online where I can limit what I read. (I don't have to click and read anything I don't want to)
It works for me, I try to just get the facts and leave the media firestorms behind.
Tiger wanted to make a public statement, so I listened to it. I think he did a pretty good job of taking full responsibility for his own actions and just wandered what impression others had of his statement.

I don't think we should. As previously stated. No one would care if he wasn't famous. i also feel there was NO need for this public appology. Unless one or more of his sponsors wanted it. He was however hitting a lot more than a little ball with his stick.

Re: Tiger Wood's apology statement.
This is what my statement would read in this situation:
I apologize to only one person in this world, the only person that deserves it. To my wife, I am deeply sorry for the self centered actions that I took without your regard. To the others involved in the situation, I should not have dragged you into this, but I still feel that it is only my wife that sincerely deserves an apology. Whatever solution my wife feels is appropriate for my actions I will do my best to accommodate.
To those that are not involved, please continue on with your lives as I am trying to continue on with mine. The only reason why this situation is news worthy is because I am a famous athlete. If I was any other person in this world, no one would care at all, so now I ask why you care about what happens in my personal life?
And to the media, that feels the need to be filming every moment of the time I spend in public areas, and are trying to get film and footage of me in my home, go fuck yourselves and find something better to do. There is other news in the world besides me. Stop wasting your time on such ridiculous things. Stop wasting the time of the public. Hell, there's even positive things in the world that should be reported, but the public is failing to hear about them because you are feeling the need to shove my personal life down their throats!
