Celebrity Privacy

I think Tiger Woods is an excellent golfer. I would still rather take a beating then watch a golfing event on television, but if that's your thing, more power to you. I think that golfing is no more a sport than say, bowling, but that is my opinion and I have had enough conversations with friends to know that opinions vary. I think that if you can drink beer in the middle of it, then it isn't really a sport. You never saw Larry Bird having a cold one in the middle of a Celtics game, did you? There you go. But back to Mr. Woods and his unique skill for putting a very small ball into a hole. There are many many companies that hoped people were dumb enough to think that Tiger Woods with there product would cause the average consumer to buy their product as well. Sometimes that works. I don't think I have ever bought a shoe because an athlete told me I should. I have purposely not bought a shoe because of an endorsement. (I think Spike Lee is a racist and I would never put a Nike shoe on my foot after his endorsement)but someone telling me to use something simply because they do doesn't mean much to me. And while I am on the subject of Tiger Woods, why do so many people care? I have touched on the privacy issue before. I know that he is a celebrity and has chosen to abdicate some of his privacy, but I don't think his wife did. I am positive that his child didn't, but the blood sucking media just won't let this go. Unless you have had sex with Mr. Woods lately and you are waiting to see your name in print, try ignoring the coverage. Maybe the media will stop covering it and we can all get back to our own lives, however exciting that may be. Spend time with your family. A slew of Holidays are coming up, and that will be much more interesting than who slept with Tiger this time. You'll thank me later.
