I have done several blogs lately on trash talking, gossip, rumor, etc. Immediately what happens is the rock falls on the most recognizable athlete in the world.  Tiger Woods.

For a whole weekend on ESPN the headline banner is repeating the œincident over and over and over.  What I also noticed was that what I read and heard had just a bit of glee attached to it as in, “The king is dead.”

Judgments of the man were rained down on all sides.  Women claiming this that and the other thing popped up on Tigers radar screen (and, everybody elses).  Tiger is totally upset about the public attention given his private life.  Im sorry Tiger, but this should not be a surprise to you.  After all, you are no longer a kid.

I am much more inclined, however, to question the motives of his judges than anything else.  I wonder how many of them would become out clean if their lives were fully examined.  The truth is, nobody gives a s___ about their lives.

The game has always been to put someone on a pedestal and then figure out how to knock them off.  You know like the guy above the water at the carnival or like you did with your parents when you were a kid.

There is also the factor of Tiger being black.  It sweetens the pot.  If you dont think it was a factor you have your head in a very dark place.  Racism is a condition people are born into.  Be very careful about proclaiming your color blindness.

Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time.  Being the greatest does not exclude one from being human. Just like no matter how high your IQ, you cant outsmart being human.  He made a mistake, a big one.  Not so different from the mistakes made by famous politicians, athletes, celebrities, etc., from our history.  As well as you and I.

When peoples image become larger than their actual if,  there is a virus that you can catch called œbeing invisible”.  In other words, their words and deeds are beyond reproach as the old cowboy says, œThat is riding for a fall.”

Simply, all that happened is Tiger broke a commitment he made to his wife.  I dont think this is a trivial thing.  I think it is healed, however, with forgiveness.

Have you broken a commitment ever?  Has someone broken a commitment to you?  Have you forgiven and been forgiven?

This I am sure of.  If judges are appointed, then who appointed you the judge?  Who asked you to impose your principles, beliefs, etc., on another human being?  The very clear response is NO ONE.
