Tiger Woods: a Mommy’s Boy?
Big Bureaucracy ^ | February 19th, 2010 | Ellie Velinska

Posted on 02/19/2010 9:29:45 AM PST by Big Bureaucracy

Nothing kills the sex-talk faster than a hug between a mother and a son after a religious discussion. Tiger’s apology statement was one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in a long time and probably the most un-sexiest.

It appeared as Tiger Woods’s mother told him: “Go there, you little rascal, and say you are sorry. And write 100 times “I will not cheat again and I will obey my religion”. It was so infantile that I guess every woman out there watching would be thinking – did Tiger get out of puberty?

The word sex was notably absent. The speech writer masterfully danced around it. There is nothing that makes the sex more distant from the present than a hug from a mom – ask every daughter-in-law.

I have to admit that I personally don’t care about golf so watched the show just to observe a celebrity with moral shortcomings trying to come back in the game. The whole set-up reminded me of a Mark Twain novel – you could almost hear the Sunday school voice:

… I want you all to sit up just as straight and pretty as you can and give me all your attention for a minute or two. There –that is it. That is the way good little boys and girls should do….

The only difference is that some of the attendees were Buddhist. .............

Tiger Woods is a golfer, but he is also a husband and father, he does not owe me any sort of apology, his cheating has not had even a minute affect on mine or my families life.

The only one he should be apologizing to is his wife and kids, I don’t think it is really any of our business.

I agree he does not owe us an apology, but he made a special event today to give us an apology - since he insisted to talk openly to to the public - the public is free to comment on his statement.

I could care less what he does, but I'm sure there are many who are fed up w/ the fake persona hoisted upon them by Woods and his backers. That, IMO, is worthy of discussion.

Okay. If you are posting articles from your own blog why would you excerpt? Just wondering.

Touche’!

All I see are red Xs.

Also, it would be some feat if Tiger were on steroids and at the same time was a sex fiend. Are you aware of what steroid abuse does to the male libido when they abuse steroids? Make up your mind. The guy is either a raging horndog, or he’s a steroid abuser...make your choice, noob.

(logic always seems to fail you liberals)

Because I post my article on my blog and then I let the community know I did - in case anybody cares.

"Are you aware of what steroid abuse does to the male libido when they abuse steroids?"

Yeah, tell that to Ahhnold Schwartzenneger, whose steroid use was as legendary as his womanizing. And by the way, these wealthy athletes who use steroids are almost always being monitored by physicians or professional trainers who are either aware of the injections or who are actually doing the injections. They monitor for side effects or overdosing, as we saw with Roger Clemens and others. Don't be such a dufus, it's unbecoming of FReepers.

Ha. Do you see ANY irony in your statement? Good luck on your witch-hunt. I think you're just a garden variety racist.
