Basically I said that "it is a shame" that this....tawdry BS has become the substitute for news. For something meaningful. It is an indicator of how shallow, and meaningless we have become.

People cheat on their wives/husbands for many reasons. It's not right and I feel horrible for Elin. It's a very embarrassing situation. But we're not inside their marriage. Maybe she wasn't doing things for Tiger that she use to do. Or maybe she isn't a good wife. Or maybe he just couldn't control himself cause he get can any pussy he wants. I'm willing to bet it's the ladder. I just think that if you know you're weak when it comes to women then simply don't get married. Derek Jeter is one of the smartest athletes out there.

I agree, either do it the right away and get a divorce, or don't get married in the first place. If you want to bang skanks go ahead, but why get married and have kids??

Agreed fully. I've been beating that drum in my conversations about this with friends/family in recent days. If you want to be promiscuous, be my guest. But why be so damn fake? He and Elin haven't been married that long, and he's been fooling around for at least 3 years, probably more. Why enter into a marriage, exchange vows, and have children knowing full well you're going to be unfaithful?

If those number are right he was cheating on his wife before they even had children and that makes it even worse.

Why do you say Tiger is being fake? And who are we to say that he didn't exchange vows from the bottom of his heart. I find that sort of absurd.

True, if you WANT to be promiscuous, don't get married. Agreed. But isn't it entirely possible that Tiger had no intentions to cheat on his wife? Isn't it possible that he still loves her? I just don't like the judgement being hurled at Woods like he's the scum of the earth all of a sudden. Yes, it's a horrible thing to be unfaithful to your spouse - it really is. But it's amazing to me how he's fallen from grace in the eyes of so many because of infidelity and a moral weakness.

I am in no way trying to demean or undermine the instition of marriage by my reasoning, because I'm not. I just don't appreciate how he's being demonized and judged - especially when we don't live in Tiger Woods' shoes.

Well, I'm operating under the assumption that he's been promiscuous for some time. I find it very hard to believe that he married a gorgeous Swedish model and shortly after simply decided to start fooling around. My hunch is that he's been this way for a long time. Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't think Tiger Woods is a bad human being. His charities have been fantastic, and he's done a ton of good on and off the golf course. But he has his demons (a wandering eye to say the least) clearly.

I'm not trying to demonize the man, but come on 12th. You don't like the way he's being judged? The most famous athlete possibly of all time has just been nailed for ongoing, premeditated infidelity and lies. You really think he should be above reproach? I certainly haven't heard him called the scum of the earth, but this is cause (and rightfully so) for his character to be questioned.

while jon and kate getting a divorce shoudln't get any air time i fell like this story is on a whole other level. this isn't just some random sports figure, this guy is an icon and the biggest name in sports right now hands down. and the reason his name is so big is because of the image he presents himself in, now it appears that this image is false and he has basically lied to the whole world, which upsets and offends a lot of people.

See I look at Jon & Kate situation more worthy of news because they became famous by being married and having 8 kids. Now what they are famous for is what is falling apart where TW is famous for his golf. TW did not lie to us because I cannot remember him ever saying or being asked if he was having an affair. He lied to his wife and family.

He's lying to us by insisting the car accident and his facial lacerations have nothing to do with domestic violence. I mean, when you hear a car accident, do you grab a golf club? His wife has been through enough, so I'm glad she doesn't have to deal with any domestic violence charges, but we all know what happened.

Jesper Parnevick had a classic line- "...hope she uses the driver next time instead of the 3-iron." LOL.

yeah apparently after the cops did the investigation they saw a few different places his suv hit before hitting the fire hydrant. there was a map of the crash site that the cops had outlined and it made it on one of the gossip sites. she was swinging that club like john daly. lol. plus she changed her story. the cops are sweeping this under rug but no question if this was the other way around and he was chasing her his ass would be behind bars.

News is no longer the 30 minute evening broadcast with Peter Jennings (RIP). It's 24 hours across thousands of tv channels, radio stations, web sites, magazines, and newspapers. That's one reason why you have more and more stories like this. Besides, not all news needs to be hard hitting, Pulitzer prize winning journalism.

Can you think of a story of substance (of late) that has and will command the spotlight the way this has?
