Poor Tiger



I have felt really bad for Tiger Woods and his family this past week. It is utterly sad how much America feeds off bad details of other's personal lifes. Our culture is consumed with E! News, TMZ, and sites like Perez Hilton. Most of these sites focus on the bad/dramatic aspects of people's lifes and are out to make everyone look bad. The fact is Tiger was in a wreck and people should be thankful and happy that he is okay. Sadly, this is not the case. People are hungry like wolves to know if he was having an affair, who his voicemails were too, why he got in the wreck, etc., etc. Tiger is one of the world's greatest golfers of all time and provides much entertainment for people in the sports realm of things. I'm not saying he did or did not cheat on his wife, or that he's a good/bad person if he did/didn't cheat. However, what I do think is that people should stop being so mean hearted and try to place themselves in his shoes. I think adults of America are setting a horrible example for kids of this country because they demonstrate that buying trashy magazines is cool/accepted. The more people who support these mags, the more gossip and bad details about people's lifes are going to be repeated.
