Cheetah Woods

If it was announced enough already, I'll announce it to you again: Tiger Woods cheated on his wife. I don't think this poses a shock to anybody reading this, since we do live in America and our country is Hollywood-based. Celebrities are our lives basically, you cannot go one day without hearing about what this person did, or that person did. My point about Tiger Woods, however, is that being publically humiliated to this extent is a bit much.

Some may call what he did wrong, dirty, looked-down-on, or just downright deceitful. From my knowledge, he's slept with over 20 women over a period of months, if not years. Some of them claimed to be pregnanted by Woods, but when it happened they never stepped forward. Is it simply the fame they crave, or that there's power in numbers? In this case, I think it's both.

As I was reading the Daily News the other day, I couldn't help but read the front page article which was a running list of texts sent from Tiger to a porn star. My take on this is that the porn star just wants fame. She chose to be in this profession, versus a stripper/prostitute who does it for money and not by choice. After Tiger apologizes to the public, including his wife, does then she decide to drop another bomb on him.

I don't believe Tiger deserved this much public humiliation, he could have simply been confronted by these women privately rather than ruin his career. Cheating is never an excuse to me, but I believe that there's a deeper meaning behind his actions. In May of 2006, he lost his father in a battle against cancer. His father was the one who propelled his career forward since an early age. Losing someone who had such an impact on your life will make an even bigger impact on yours. Acting out and doing non-regular behavior, such as cheating may result. Sometimes actions aren't up-front, like this situation.
