More Thoughts on Tiger Woods
The question I had asked a week or so ago on this blog was would Tiger’s situation effect the PGA? The answer to that question is yes. Apparently the PGA is having a hard time securing TV deals because Tiger is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the sport that he is put on the map over the last decade. Speaking of the last decade Tiger was named AP Athlete of the Decade which is well deserved because all of his accomplishments but I am surprised they didn’t change their minds after all of the scandal thats been going on with him. His affairs aren’t the only thing that he’s been targeted for. Apparently he has being investigated for supplying American athletes with Performance Enhancing Drugs through a Canadian doctor.
A lot of people are saying Tiger may never play another round of Golf again, or atleast nationally or on TV. A lot of people think he’s done way too much to damage his reputation. He’s already lost two sponsors in Accenture and Gatorade. Two of his other sponsors, Upper Deck and Nike have not dropped him and are actually standing behind him. The way I see it is the longer Tiger stays silent, the more it’s going to hurt him. A lot of people want answers and we are not getting any.
It’s only a matter of time before we get the truth and the whole truth. I pray that some of this is just being blown out of proportions. Stay tuned for more on the Tiger Woods saga. I am sure their will be more to come.
I saw this morning that some advertisers had a morality clause built into the contracts and can pull out without any reprocussions at all. Can you imagine Tag Heuer pulling out, especially with such a great presence, including in all his EA Sports games.
Yeah the EA Sports Golf games are really going to take a hit…They could always go back and rename it Jack Nicklaus Golf…Back in the day thats what the named all the old Golf games for the computers.
Or they could name it Hollywood's World of Golf!! They may not want to do that however, because Joey knows nothing about golf… Stick to wrestling HWOO! All that needs to be said is that Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time. He will be back and on top of his game sooner or later. After all, lets put this in perspective; Tiger cheated on his wife and kids with several WILLING women. Other notable sports figures who's reputation have not been hurt even though their actions have been much worse than Tiger:
Kobe Bryant – Rape – back on top of his game…
Ray Lewis – Murder – back on top of his game…
And I'm running out of room to mention all of the celebs who's childhood was sacrificed for work at a very early age – we all see how that turns out; Screwed up..
Michael Jackson….
Leave Tiger's personal life alone – after all he didn't rape or murder anyone. Just watch, he'll be back!
I actually do play Golf sometimes…and I agree with the fact that the media should leave him alone but it's kind of hard when your the richest athlete and the whole world is watching you.
I will say this, when the next scandal hits, Tigers will be forgotten about just like Kobe's did.
