It's like they're proud of it. It's sick. (Speaking of all the women that are coming forward to claim an affair).


Many of them thought they were the apple of Tiger�s eye. They thought they were special and that Tiger loved them. Now they feel betrayed. Laughable, if it were not so sad.

But the real reason for these gals to step forward is to extort cash from Tiger in exchange for silence. It appears that it is working as Tiger is reported to have paid millions to keep them quiet so far.

From cocktail waitress to millionaire, overnight.

Yes, I really wish that she could come here and get help for herself. Tiger well..IDK, he is so special...so different..lol sorry.

Seriuosly I have been able to heal quite a bit by being here and seeing what mistakes I made, and what things I did right in my marriage. (Whitout re-writing history TY. My conscience would catch up with me anyways)

I wish she could come here and be with the real human side of what I consider some amazing and insightful people here. I hope she sees a really good counselor wherever she goes.

Welcome to the human race Elin and let him keep the $. You can have your dignity.

I wonder what WS's think when they read/hear/see these stories of Tiger's infidelity. Are they so distanced from their own actions that they don't see the similarities, or does this gnaw away at that "inner person" that must still remain (or else the alien invader has completed the takeover and they'll never return)?

Which makes you wonder how many more there are that he was able to buy off before the media found them.

And if there are any who are truly ashamed of themselves that are hiding from the media.

It's actually quite sickening.

As a FWW, when I heard about Tiger, one word came to mind - IDIOT

When I think of my own infidelity, one words comes to mind - IDIOT

Well, there are other words, but a lady doesn't say them.

What kind of person risks and hurts the people closest to them for some fake, temporary pleasure?

Here is the e-mail I just sent to Nike:

*****
I will no longer buy any Nike Products as long as Nike has Tiger Woods as a spokesperson.

If he is in an ad, the message is, "Successful Men Cheat on Their Wives. And Nike is Okay With That."

Adultery destroys families. It destroys lives. It leads directly to divorce and domestic violence.

I hope you will not have an outrageous cheater and disrespecter of families like Tiger Woods in your advertising ever again.
*****

Feel free to re-use, if you wish.

A hardnosed coach was on ESPN this morning with advice for Tiger. I can't remember all of it, but basically he said Tiger needs to be told "no." He needs to stop all golf appearances for at least 6 months, reject any payoffs from current endorsements for not keeping up his image, fire all his posse (from marketing to management to caddy to handlers), get therapy, and FIX HIS MARRIAGE.

Insiders say that Tiger hasn't been "happy" for the past two years and it was evident in his performances. Like the wins were becoming "ho hum" and he wasn't satisfied anymore by being the best golfer in the world.

Perhaps a MLC since he's been "working" his career as long or longer than 40-50 year olds have been working theirs. And the boredom of golf -- like the boredom in a marriage or boredom in his life. I mean, when winning a major doesn't make him cry anymore, something is wrong.

And it's not like golf changes. Really. Same game, different course. Same game he's been playing for 30 of his 33 years... since he could hold a club.

So he's burned out on golf, life, image,.... not "happy" and looking for an outlet -- er -- 10 outlets.

Tiger needs help to restore his image with the public. Because he NEEDS the public to continue his fortune. He NEEDS fans to watch him play, buy his products, continue his life....

Or he can retire at 33 and become a bum giving golf lessons to rich people who care nothing about Tiger's reputation but are willing to shell out money to learn how to emulate his swing.

Just my opinion......

Maybe Tiger forgot, or never learned, that the secret to happiness is not what you Get. It's what you Give. It's the Getting that breeds the boredom, not the Giving.

Look what Tiger Got - and he was still bored? Still not happy? Clue, anyone?

Here is the response Nike sent me to my email (I didn't save what I sent... basically... that Tiger is an embarassment to their company because of his lack of morals and family values. How I will not be purchasing any Nike products as long as he's their spokesman and I will encourage the athletic teams in my area to do the same. How "Just Do It" slogan now gags me. How there are better athletes of CHARACTER they can use to represent their company... ):

[We appreciate the time you took to express your comments concerning Nike's relationship with Tiger Woods. We will share your feedback with the management team.

Thank you for your email.

Sincerely,

Andy

Hopefully this "case", as it plays out in the media over the months/years ahead, will at the very least send a strong message that:

Entitlement and extreme s2pidity are a bad combination of traits in a marriage partner.

Seems the size of someone's wallet often makes folks overlook these shortcomings.

This guy is very messed up and it has shown through in glimpses throughout the years. Hopefully, he will change into a decent human being at some point.
