Tiger's Apology: Sasha Smith

I have the same opinion of Tiger Woods as I did when his first affair became public. It's not my business and it's nothing new in American culture. Why do we care so much what an athlete is doing on his own personal time? It clearly wasn't affecting his golf game, but if anything making his affairs public would probably hurt his game.

Americans are fascinated with flaws. Tiger was simply too perfect for everyone. To find out that he was a man who had no self control when it came to being committed and being  monogamous to his wife. How many Americans does this involve? The last I found out that was 50% Americans aren't able to stay married to their spouses. They end up getting divorced. In the Black community the divorce rate is even higher at 60%. And since Tiger is Black (even if he doesn't admit it,) why are we so surprised?

What would be really surprising is if someone took the time to realize that there are a lot of issues that citizens have to deal with and that we should try to work on solutions to fixing them. For instance, let's get everyone health care so if the have a need to talk to a shrink for some mental health issues such as stress, depression or any other disorder they can talk to someone and figure out a life plan versus using sex, drugs and alcohol to fix their problems.
