Is it any of our concern?
Maybe not but we buy the media that has Tiger in its spotlight.
Time and again my sport the NRL has suffered that spot light but surely it is human nature?
For men and women who are young fit and rich to enjoy all life has to offer.
I feel sorry for Tiger, his wife and maybe some of the publicity grabbing women involved but can never say it is not an every day thing for a great number of people.

Agree

It is no ones business, except those directly concerned.

imho men who are seen as "adulterous" are sometimes responding to something their wife is not doing.

Where the right or wrong or reasonableness of either party's behaviour lays cannot be assessed or judged remotely, only by understanding the individuals involved

and to be honest, I am not sufficiently interested in anyone elses life to want to know that level of detail about it.

And as so often happens, this whole "sensational disclosure" displays an unhealthy concern with cutting down tall poppies.

You seem to finally be making some progress. Adultery being human nature? Unfortunately you are right. Thank God there is Someone who can forgive and heal.

That's not very adventurous of you Col

How else would we get to enjoy all those wonderfully bad-taste jokes, involving everything from puns on "wood" to the clubbing of baby seals?

You are correct in pointing out that moral judgments are totally out of place when made on the flimsy foundations of tabloid journalism.

But surely you are not such a miserable curmudgeon that you can't rustle up a sly grin at some of the comments and observations that are strewn around along the way?

Sport is entertainment, after all. And sportspeople merely entertainers.

I hope I am not a curmudgeon..

I will ask my wife..

she knows me best and we have no secrets from one another.

To Tiger.. yes a "woody" tends to be something which begs lewd comment of..

Not so sure of the "baby seal" .... unless you are refering to that well a Canadian winter sport, designed to utilise an already invested resource in the off season, a bit like the MCG and AFL.

I suppose I might be more inclined to take a sly swipe and grin if we found something juicy about St Kevin, same as the pious Evans and Kurnow to say nothing of what happened to Hawkes and Keatings marriages for that matter.

It seems, when it comes to extra marital dalliances, socialists lead well ahead of the liberals (Malcolm Frasers "trouser-gate" excepted).

So no... I feel sorry for Tiger, "bounder" that he might be.

He has always come across (to me at least) as a decent fellow and when decent fellows "play away from home" it is often because the "home fires" have gone out (one way or another).

Personally, I don't give a toss about the Woods's private business. It is up to them alone and who could possibly differentiate fact from fiction when it comes to the media frenzy.

Some men, as history shows, will stray regardless of how attentive their wives might be. This is usually just a worn out excuse dusted off to validate unfaithful behaviour. Oooh my wife doesn't understand me OR oooh my husband doesn't give me any attention.

I would imagine that celebrities would find the temptation too great at times and succumb to unscrupulous publicity seeking women who also hold no regard for the feelings of the wife and children.

Basically, if anyone has the urge to stray, just get a divorce and then you can do what you like, without the need for lies and keeping up a sham of a marriage.
