‘This Week’ Roundtable Tees Off On Tiger Woods Apology

why in the name of god is it anyone’s business other than his family’s?

Tiger Woods does not owe anyone an apology except his wife, children and family. He is and remains the world’s greatest golfer. He is a role model for how to play golf and nothing more. Parents are life role models and should teach their children to golf like tiger and take lessons on moral behavior at home. The press mongers should get a life and focus on something that really matters.

Script no Script, tears no tears, stand in front of the world and admit your wrongs, do it for 13 minutes! He took responsibility, whether he read his words or others. Words are words; it’s what the public wanted to hear, so says the media. Now comes the hard part, the apology with no words behind doors, which is none of the public’s business

A lot of people keep commenting that T.Woods owes no one an apology other than his family. That’s only partially true. We need to be realistic in the fact that people DO look up to Tiger as a role model. No – his behavior does not affect his golf game, but it’s how he stands in public limelight. Tiger is considered a powerful person, so those seeking it will also feel entitled to have what it represents. And what kind of society do you think we want to represent? Unfortunately, it’s those who are pubic figures. Unfortunately we are judged by the we known, but it is very true. How would you view France, Iran, or any other country is they praised and honored people with that behavior? I’m sure your view would carry some disgust. What about Chris Brown? Maybe we should just forget about that, too? So yes – although his true regrets need to be to his family, but to the public he owes an admittance to wrong behavior.

Its nobodys business what Tiger does except his family. When all of you totally innocent news mongers, politicians etc. can stand up and claim y’all have never been guilty of anything then you can criticize him. LEAVE HIM ALONE and I am sick of the continous mucking on tv for every little bit of juicy gossip on anyone in the public eye.

I am one of those who found the news conference forced, phony and fallacious. It was staged, stunted and stuptifying. In other words….rang hollower than the Grand Canyon during a drought. He’ll come back, of course. There are enough men who will forgive give in public and envy him in private to support his resurrection. He’ll just have to cover his tracks better. That randy phallus of his ain’t going no where…

Why does the “round table” or anyone else for that matter, feel as though they have a right to sit in judgement on Tiger Woods or anyone else? Shut up already!

As a middle school teacher I have come to realize everything we do can influence the life of a child. I would get fired, no questions asked if I made the same mistakes Tiger made. I am one of those who believes Tiger is entitled to some privacy on certain personal issues, but not this one. There are so many young people who admire and look up to him, that he owes it to them to show some remorse. Many of the youngsters who admire him may not even have any other male role models in their lives, so he needs to put his best foot forward and live a moral life. If he was raised properly, that should not be a problem.

Tiger is a pompus, piece of crap.

Tiger apologies are only needed to his family. The media (look in the mirror) have you any imperfections, made any mistakes?( yes) There are amny sides to our personalities; if yiu thought Tiger was GOD, shame on you!!!

Ruthie, are you kidding me? What version of the Bible are you reading?

Tiger is a Buddist…he isn’t looking for God’s forgiveness….in fact, he choked on his first “I’m sorry”…he is a liar and a cheater….he admitted it…he is an insult to every decent man on earth! Just because he is a great golfer doesn’t give him the right to flaunt his immorality in the face of decency! What a jerk!

He’s only human.
Get over it.

Tiger Woods is a golfing robot. He is robortic in all his affairs (no pun intended). Define robot. Programmed to perform errorlessly; devoid of emotion. Certainly I deserve an apology for all the years I have been submitted to the propaganda that is Tiger Woods. Sponsors promote image to sell their product. I expect disclaimers prior to all NIKE advertising that they do not condone nor trust their spokesperson.

This is from a Tiger fan who has also been confronted by his wife. When the story broke, it sent chills down my spine and brought back nightmares. I am not exaggerating!
For those who believe Tiger owes no one an apology other than his wife, I have to ask, does Bernard Ebbers owe an apology to his ex World Com employees? Tiger established himself as a corporation. I would agree that on a personal level, he should only answer to his wife, kids and mother. That he can do that in private. So why did he make such a public statement under such tight conditions? His corporation had suffered big time. And, so have his endorsements. This was nothing more than the CEO of GM doing damage control by driving a GEO to Washington after flying is private jet there the first time. Tiger created the corporation, as did Mr. Ebbers, and both employed a number of people. So, does Mr. Ebbers owe an apology to his former world com folk who lost millions? Absolutely! The only difference, Tiger can come back. By the way, who do you work for?

Tiger Woods is not the first man to cheat and certainly will not be the last. Politicians (people who make decisions for us on a daily basis) leave their houses and play house with other women daily, yet when they make their big announcement, they don’t get half the attention that Tiger Woods (a gofer) got. What’s wrong with this picture? As as far as saying children look up to him…children look up to lots of people…though I doubt hearing of Tiger’s infidelities will have any affect on their sexual decisions – people do what they want to do. None of us are perfect… it’s that way so that we don’t have room to critize others – or when we do, it’s really just an opinion and holds no weight.

Apology or no apology….he is a public figure with his life in full view to be questioned by anyone. No one should judge him or not judge him. He will have to answer for his actions, which could well cost him more than money. He may play golf good; however, as faithful husband material…he needs to work on that game. Amazing how long he was having affairs…years. What took so long for an apology??? Obviously, he didn’t think he would ever be caught at it. He is darn lucky his wife is even still around to accept any apology of sorts….she must be one heck of a woman to tolerate that slap in the face by his cheating liasions. The public can believe him to have regrets; however, that is one to really think about at this point in time. A tiger spots doesn’t change and possibly neither will Tiger Woods “spots” called the other women in his life. The real answer is if he stops and changes his ways…….no one knows the answer to this one. Probably, not even Mr. Woods. Has his reputation suffered from his regretable actions? You bet…sure changed my opinion of him. No telling what he will do next?????

The only one hr owes an apology to is wife and family. The rest he owes nothing, but people feed on bad news. It’s time to let him deal with the challenges he has at home, and be done with it.
