Tiger Woods Says Goodbye To Privacy

I'm so tired of hearing about this story. I really don't care how much money they make or if they are a public figure or not. It's no one's business. I think that's just a cope out for people to be nosy. I'm tired of it being everywhere. Even on the news, and they use sources like the National Inquirer to report everything. Definite lack of integrity. There are way more important things going on right now.

Sports Stars, Rock Stars, Movie Stars, so on... All want to tell us about politics and generally how to run our lives. They cross that line for their own gain and agenda with MANY not having background. Then when something happens in their lives they cry privacy. It just doesn't work that way. I don't want to hear about Tiger or any star using stardom to sleep with women... and I also don't want stars to tell me how to run my life. He is sleazy and now all those young men who looked up to him think this is what hard work gives you... the ability to be sleazy.

Tiger = Golf Tiger is human. Humans make mistakes. Point blank. The only thing I look to Tiger for is advice, info, or tips about golf, golf, and golf.

Very sorry that his personal life interefered with his professional life. We don't love him because he's "an upstanding father, husband, mentor!" We love him because he's an excellant "golfer!" One has nothing to do with the other. Leave the poor guy alone. So tired of all the high horses out there. Take care of your own back yard, before you worry about Tigers!

He knows lack of privacy comes with the territory. There are a few sports figures, actors, famous people who do a good job of keeping their personal life private and seperate from the media. They rarely do interviews even when they have a new movie out or receive an award. But unfortunately if you are going to do something illegal or what most people would consider inappropriate in this day in age of high tech it will not be kept a secret. Tiger Woods is not that dumb. Even David Letterman who never gives interviews and kept his personal live private couldn't do it. People are vendictive, money hungry and just plain back stabbing in nature. Tiger was wrong. Do I care? YES. I don't care to go on thinking this man was a wonderful husband and father when obviously he isn't. Can I forgive, forget and like him again if he handles this right? Yes. We all make mistakes. If we learn from them and grow as a better person from them we deserve a second chance.

Bottom line, he has made his life - his name - a brand. By which he makes millions of dollars selling us products - using this brand. So like it or not it opens up his life and all that he does to the public. It is up to us the public to turn our television channel and not purchase the media hype if we disagree with the publicly. If we do not buy it, listen to, talk about - the media would drop it.

As soon as a celebrity accepts money for company and brand endorsements, their unscrupulous activities are no longer private. Each of us contribute to their financial gain through these endorsements when we buy these products and/or services they are representing. Additionally, they owe the public and their young fan base a level of decency and upstanding behavior as they are role models for the younger generation. Come on Tiger, get a clue - what were you thinking???? I am also just as disgusted with the "women" he was allegedly seeing. Where are their morals? - Its not like they didn't know he was married. Too bad some of them will actually make money off this.

I think that his personal life has no relevance on his job performance. With that said, he is in the public spotlight and knows that no privacy comes with the territory. He is a role model and should behave as such. I am personally over all of the drama surrounding this and would like the media to get over it too.

I believe that we have a right to know what is going on with him when he is in the public eye influencing our children. There are so many children who look up to him and inspire to follow his footsteps. He should have been more responsible in my opinion. What he did to his wife was totally a disgrace.

I think it should be PRIVATE. Their profession has little to do with their personal lives. How sad that so much time has been spent on a FAMILY matter instead of something more important! How about showing missing kids, wanted criminals during this media frenzy instead of what Tiger Woods did? That would certainly be more productive. No, it shouldn't come with the territory. Why should their pain be allowed to become entertainment? What does that say about our society?

I strongly believe in orivate lives of others and us, too. It is none of their businesses of what they/we are doing in our every day life as long as we do not break the laws. Not fortunetely for Tiger being well known golfer and I still think he is a good guy. He knew better not to have affairs with other women as he is married and has his children and broke his marrige vow. Why get married in the first place? That hurts his marriage and family awful lot. Naturally those people will do anything to get attention from media in hope to get money, fame for movie or book, etc....

I feel that things have gone to far. I feel that he has done something wrong and needs to communicate with his wife and family, not the public. He did not hurt anyone but his wife and family. We should not know everything that goes on in the private lives of actors, sports figures, ect...One may say he put his life out there the minute he decided to have an affair but really he didn't. This woman is out to make a name for herself and get paid. They are both wrong!

i think its ridiculous that celebrities cannot have privacy!

I think that when you are a public figure, you have to realize that you are not going to have the same amount of privacy as the average American. I guess that's just the price of fame and fortune. Especially given Tiger's history and reputation, this sort of shocker is going to cause a lot talk.

I'm in awe that such a public and respected professional would behave this way, and more so that he has such little regard for his wife and family. I'm disgusted and it really surprised me. I follow golf and am so disappointed in Tiger. So many kids look up to him and I'm sure Nike and his other sponsorers aren't to happy with him right now.
