Giving new meaning to the word 'player'....



I don't know why I feel the need to comment on Tiger Woods but having been played by a player for many years, it gets on my last nerve. From what I can gather, women are reacting totally opposite from men after Tiger's press conference last week. No surprise there. The guys are saying things like, "I don't care about his personal life, I just want to watch him play golf." But character DOES matter, and especially when you're one of the top sports figures in the world. And Tiger didn't have an affair with just one woman. Or two. He had a lot of trysts. A whole lot. And it shows he has a problem. There were even porn stars and paid escorts... And the dirty little secret is that he could have given his wife Aids.
All of the reports I've read said that the sex was unprotected - that's typical of players. It's all about them and their desires. Totally selfish. And after the things he said last week, I dislike him even more. He said he 'worked hard all his life and felt entitled." Huh? Excuse me, I work real hard too. But I don't think I deserve to use innocent men for sex and endanger my spouse, if I had one. (Ok, the analogy doesn't work for women, but for the sake of the argument...)

My advice to Elin is to take the money and run. Tigers don't change their stripes. Besides, I think it's all about the money to him, which is all about the image. He's probably heard the stats that show when the wife leaves, there is a much bigger chance that the man cannot recover from the scandal. His persona was so far off from the reality, that everyone is still shocked.
In the press conference, Tiger appeared angry and said to leave his wife and children alone. So NOW he wants to protect them? He didn't seem to care that he was endangering her before. Tiger wants what he can't have, and right now, that's Elin.
When this whole thing broke open, it seemed to me that he would be happier divorced since he obviously didn't behave like a man in love or that wanted to be faithful. Even several of his paramours said he told them his marriage was a sham and just for his image. Players that I've known want to have their cake and eat it too. They have the Madonna/Whore complex (yes, there really is one) where the wife stays home to mother the children, and he seeks the whores for sex. Notice Tiger has never apologized to the women he used. He thinks they got what they deserved.
He was right about one thing, he has a long way to go. And I've never heard of a sex addict that straightened out without Jesus taking over their heart. These are huge problems and I hope for the sake of his future, and I mean his eternity, that he works them out.
