Time to Let It Go

As I was perusing through the news I found an article about the recently infaous Tiger Woods. Previously this year it had been revealed that Tiger was having multiple extramarital affairs. Tiger apologized last month for his actions. After a hiatus from golf, he announced recently that he will return for the Master's tournament. Just when everyone thought the whole thing would be over, one of Tiger's alleged former mistresses came forward to the public. Veronica Siwik-Daniels, a former pornography actress, released supposed text message conversations between her and Woods. Siwik-Daniels said, "I would be open to a telephoned apology from Tiger, but I really feel that I deserve to look at him in person, face-to-face, in his eyes, because I did not deserve this." I was surprised to read this line. What did she not "deserve"? She knew that she was having an affair with a married man.

Personally, I was hoping that this whole Tiger Woods scandal would be over. He is an extraordinary golfer and this is hurting his career. It is not the first time something like this has happened and will not be the last. Although I am posting about this subject, I am disgusted about the amount of information that is released about people's personal lives in our country. And how entertained and interested the public is in these matters. What do you think about Tiger Woods? How much privacy does a person deserve?
