Why Is the Media So Upset With Tiger Woods?

cheetah just needs an excuse to get out of the house for an evening of shaming himself and his family.

They’re "upset" becuase it gives them something to write about.

the media’s mad THEY didn’t get to bang any hookers or porn stars…duh !!!  shoot…i am too !!!

Tiger Woods REGULARLY shames the game of golf by swearing, throwing clubs, distracting his partner, leaving the green before his partner finishes, walking on the line of his partner’s putt, and a variety of other behaviors.  Cheating on his wife is an off-course continuation of his reprehensible on-course behavior.  BTW, this excludes the hypocrisy of this individual acting so pure and superior.  

To top it off, slamming Mark McGwire is somehow meant to atone for Tiger Woods.  This goes along with strained and thin arguments defending the "press conference" and attacking those who oppose it.  This is an utterly disingenuous and misleading article.

man listen he dont have to talk at all.  he can just leave the game and leave everybody hanging… i dont blame tiger…

he has to take steps as well as anyone else… the media needs to get a life and go write about the good that athletes do instead trying to find da negatives all the time.  i am glad that they are mad, why dont they write about why they lie or misquote people or "miss remember" the actual quotes instead of turning the words around. 
dang the media dont get its way….. cry me a river!!!!
i was tired of hearing about Tiger this tiger that… ok he cheated but what do that say about the women he was with… dont come out til someone else do… that is a bunch of bull crap… they shold have said something then not now… so Good for Tiger… take your time do it your way like you always have and be done with it…

I don’t always agree with Levy but I see nothing wrong here. He is presenting the other side of the argument.  He is saying that Tiger does not owe the press an open press conference and that is not what they are calling it.  Tiger  is making a statement.  Levy didn’t diss McGwire, he made a comparison of the two situations.  He was very frank and open in presenting his case. Misleading—I don’t know where that comes from.   Some times people only see and hear what they want to see and hear.  By the way, the press and the public themselves manufactured the image, Woods didn’t.  He did sign some contracts.  Not many would turn that down. Last but not least Woods doesn’t owe anybody an apology but his wife and his family. 

P.S. Lest I be misunderstood, I think Wood’s philandering was wrong but as the priest in "Rudy" said there are two incontravertable truths in this world 1. There is a God and  2. I’m not him!

I don’t get ANY of the ruckus. Tiger Woods does NOT owe ANYONE ANYTHING. In fact if I were Woods I would NEVER address it to ANYONE!!!! This is a personal matter between HIM and HIS WIFE. I would not have dropped out of any golf events or ANYTHING else. None of this, and I mean NONE of this has ANYTHING to do with his ability to accurately strike a golf ball and the two have NO CONNECTION. I would continue to play and deal with being dropped by endorsement deals if that’s what they chose to do. Woods has ALREADY amassed more than enough money to be fabulously wealthy for the rest of his natural born life and then some so losing endorsements isn’t going to hurt him. He’ll make enough just from his earnings as a golfer to stay rich forever. No my friends I wouldn’t have dropped from the scene, held any press conferences, released any statements or ANYTHING else. I’d play my golf and that’s it and I sure wouldn’t give a "flying-rat’s-ass" about what sports writers and people commenting on sports site’s had to say. It’s that simple for me.

Who cares?  I’ll I know is if Tiger is playing golf I’m watching.  If he is not, I’m not.

I agree with most of this article except for one part.  I most certainly will not be wasting my time watching this "like the rest of us."

Yeah, what time will the scripted interview be on? I’ll make sure to change the station or turn my tv off.

and does anyone find it ironic that tommorrow nbc will be covering a 5 minute statement from woods, but can’t seem to find a way in primetime to let the west coast and moutnian time see the olymics, i mean it’s stupid that the west coast has to wait for events that are happening in there time zone and nbc shoots itself in the foot, on there olympic website, you can get live results of events, i mean it’s moronic, and if i were the ioc, when you open up the bidding for the next olympics, say look you morons we have the internet, we have twitter, let people see events live in all time zones and not tape delay, becuase as big as there ratings were last night over idol 31.8, to 18 million, how much more bigger would’ve had it been had you had the mens halfpipe live in the mountain and pacific time zones, i bet it could’ve gotten 45 million, i mean the next olympics that won’t have a time zone differnce, where events could be shown live in every time zone, is the summer games of 2016, as those games will be in the eastern time zone, as rio is in the eastern time zone, but knowing the nitwits, they’ll go with, no we need to keep the element of suprise and have them live in the eastern and centarl time zones and the mountain and pacific, find the results online if you don’t want to wait two hrs

A number of PGA players have openly stated that they dislike this "press conference" being on Friday since it overshadows the tournament they are involved in.  More disrespect, but for once the players are openly voicing their opposition.   Perhps the gloves are off now – Woods is just going to be openly confrontational.

snowhill:

It is certainly an insult to claim someone "cheated the game".  Furthermore, it is a gross misrepresentation of what happened.  The cheating was hardly a secret - many knew of it and / or sanctioned it, including managers, owners, sportswriters, doctors, etc.   Why focus on him "cheating the game" while letting many others off the hook?   The owners, media, etc. used McGwire to help boost the game and then bashed him aftter the cat was out of the bag.  This brings to mind the owner of the Falcons claiming not to know about Vick dog-fighting.   The media and public actually bought this, so to say that people see what they want is like saying nothing at all.

I have held off on commenting on this. My opinion is the same people (media included) who lauded Tiger were the same ones ready to see him fall. As a person who was cheated on by my former spouse I wanted to keep the matter extermely private but it didn’t work that way. I dealt with it the best way i knew how and kept everything close to the vest for the sake of my kids.
      No matter what is said about this conference Tiger is not gonna change it. And fwiw we cannot control what anyone does. Media you will still sell papers etc. general public we will still have a appetite for knowledge of this situation. I would think when he’s back on the tour you will have the opportunity to ask the questions you want then you will get upset if Tiger chooses not to answer. Then will that be disrespectful to you Media?

WHY !?!  LOL !  You’ve got to be kidding me !  Because the PC liberal media gushed over a black man that was successful, a rare credit to his race, a potential role model, who turns out to be just another horny lowlife nigger who happens to like defiling lowlife white women.  Of course they’re upset.  They created the phony image, and now they look like idiots (which is nothing new).

wow…biff…awesome post. now we all know what the KKK’s take is on the tiger situation. i’d like to see more of your opinions biff…
