Tiger Woods-The Statement

I can only guess that the productivity of all businesses went way down from 11 am et to 11:15 am et. If you are a fan or not, you wanted to hear what Tiger Woods had to say. Even my Dad, who is 2 days post colon cancer surgery, watched it from his hospital bed.
To me what he said was as important as how he delivered it. I thought it was strange that he only allowed two cameras and it seemed that the main camera went out with a few minutes to go in his statement. So the last few minutes of his heart felt apology was from the view of the side of his head. He seemed sincere but it all seemed a little contrived to me. It was way too scripted and you could tell his "handlers" told him to stare at the camera when he apologized. So for delivery I give him a "D". For content I give him a "B+". He took responsibility for his actions, apologized to everyone, even to the parents of the kids that look up to him. I think that he "gets it." I still don't know if I have forgiven him though.
I get that the fame and the riches contributed to his behavior. I just don't get the whole sex addiction rehab thing. I mean really, they have that? Who is his sponsor going to be...the Pope? Oh wait, he's a Buddhist apparently, so the Dalai Lama, then? If anyone could have the Dalai Lama as his sex addiction sponsor it would be Tiger Woods. Hell, teach him how to carry a bag and he could caddy for you. I also thought it was strange that a lot of his friends were at the news conference. Especially his college roommate. Wasn't he the guy who arranged for Rachael to be in Australia? If I were Elin and wanted to make my marriage work, the first thing I would tell Tiger to do would be to FIRE EVERYONE. You know his caddy, business partners, best friends, lawyers, agent, etc knew all this was going on. They would all be fired and replaced if it were me. Sorry see you later, you are an enabler as far as I am concerned.
He does make a valid point about the media and its obsession with his family though. I mean trying to get a picture of Tiger is one thing, but you are a dirtbag if you are following his little girl to her school to snap a photo. As a society we are obsessed with all things Celebrity. Unfortunately I bet Tiger Woods will be leading the evening news tonight and not the wacko that crashed his plane into an IRS building in Texas. Maybe as a society we should all go to Celebrity Addiction Rehab, myself included. I know who my sponsor will be....Brad Pitt :)
