Would it be the same media obsession on Tiger Woods if...........?

You bet. Tiger's childish demand for "privacy" has blown this whole deal out of proportion. Look at other examples:

Barry Bonds- took a vow of secrecy, as did his trainer (which landed him in jail). Jury's still out, but this story hasn't truly died, especially now that Hall of Fame talk will be starting in a few years.

A-Rod- same thing as Bonds, but tried to lie his way out of it. Made it worse. Did second interview, came clean, cleaned up in postseason. Seems to be forgiven, or at least on the road to redemption.

Andy Pettite (SP for Yanks, helped win some World Series for them)- was in the Mitchell Report, instantly came out, apologized, and was sincere. Was forgiven. Was a viable option in Yanks' postseason.

Marion Jones- Yikes. Used PEDs, got caught, lied, lost it all... Same for her husband. Maybe second biggest fall from grace in sports.

Whether you think he should say something or not is a non-issue. He's a public figure that had a screw up, that much is certain. He does owe us an explanation. If Ron Artest will come out and say he got concussed by falling down a flight of stairs, or Kobe can come clean about his own tryst, so can Tiger. There's even a good chance if he'd have said "My wife and I had an argument, things got a little crazy, but we're working it out" right after the accident no one would've ever found out about the other women. Instead, he left so many "Why?", and "That doesn't make sense" questions when he hid behind a statement on his website, it just begged reporters to dig a little deeper.

It's amazing how one little act of humility (humanity) from a guy that has chosen not to do so in his career (unless he was winning) could've turned this whole situation to his favor. But he blew it.

Of course it would be handled different. But if we had gills not lungs we would all swim. It is what it is because of not only who Tiger is but because if you look back Tiger has never been all that friendly with the press. He is a person who shows a great deal of composure in most cases but gets mad when things do not look good. So this is the medias chance to get into a life that for the most part he has kept them out of. Sad that it happened he should have been a better man an lived up to his commitment as a father and a husband, worse that it has become a circus.

Why blame the women for it? Are the mad that yet an other man seems to think its OK to cheat? Yes and they should be, everyone should be mad and sad that anyone thinks its OK to cheat. If your not happy with your life change it. Get divorced first, then fell free to do what you want.

According to several National Golf Writers that I know...if this happened in, July...it would have blown over in a couple of weeks. THERE HAS BEEN "NO GOLF NEWS" SINCE THE TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP"!

the media have never could bear the peace.

they can smell a excited thing ,exaggerate it then hype it to hot .

as a normal person, we can't refuse this bombing , just share it for fun.
