Suberfuge, Thanks. That is me Ellie, I am a soccer mom - true. I also have a Master’s in psychology and thought it was a clever way to keep the “sex” aspect of the Tiger’s problems out of the room. They kept the attention on the mother-son relationship. I thought it was a smart PR stunt. May be the politicians can use it next time they have to explain affairs. Golf has nothing to do with the cheating. I said I am not interested in golf. I am interested in family affairs.
Fair enough. I didn't see the press conference, so I can't really comment on that. But your "Mommy's Boy" title gave away your opinion and showed you've made up you mind about the man. What he has done to himself and his family is sad and very wrong, but this fatal human-flaw of his shouldn't be the entire measure of the man.
By all accounts, this wealthiest of atheletes has conducted himself with the utmost dignity in all other aspects of his life. He got caught, is paying a price, and hopefully, will put his family back together. Maybe we could all just let him do that without piling on?
As for myself, I happen to be interested in golf and not interested in people's personal affairs. If it were the guy down the street that had done what Tiger's done it wouldn't have interested anyone. He has been on his own since the age of 19 and I can't imagine many others in his position not have some sort of meltdown. Though his closely guarded personal life is annoying to some, it's still his life and not ours, so I say leave him be.
