Who Are You to Judge Another Man's Servant


Man oh man am I tired of all this talk about Tiger Woods. I know everybody has something to say and feel they can judge Tiger with their iron fist, but come on. As we all know Tiger got into a one car accident trying to get away from his wife early Friday morning and now we know that he has been unfaithful to his wife as well. Now everybody including they dog wants to no every little detail about that situation.

They want to know how many times did he do it, was it at his house or in a hotel and if he wore a condom or not. Please, this is a media frenzied world, but like Tiger said, "personal sins should not require press releases and problems within the family shouldn't have to mean public confessions." I agree whole heartily with Tiger, so what he's the first athlete to net a billion dollars. So what he's the greatest golfer in the world and has thousands of endorsements. Tiger is still a human being and not a perfect man.

I heard sports writer Jay Mariotti on Around the Horn say he wanted to believe in Tiger. For what? Is he his savior? Does he pray every night to Tiger Woods? Does he even go to the church of golf and listen to Pastor Tiger spread the word of greens and fare ways? I hope not. Look people say Tiger owes them more of an explanation when in all actuality he owes them crap. Tigers affair and car accident didn't change the course of any media person's life. Nor will the media become a better person for knowing all of the details. When I sit back and look at this I feel the way I always do when a major African American athlete gets into trouble. "Now here comes the lynching".

Tiger has giving two statements and people want him to give more rope so he can hang himself. Get out of here. The only thing that this affair shows is a weakness in his character and that he like all of us make bad decisions. How many media people would say that they do drugs or have a drinking problem or if they even cheated on their own significant other? None of them. Tiger Woods is golfer, a athlete, a role model and spokesman, but most of all he is just like us. A human being, so all I have to say now is he without sin cast the first stone.
