Iam not a tiger fan. I haven;t watch a sports program for over 15 years. I have seen enough tragedy ( altough not of this partuicular brand)in my life to know what its like, and this thing with Tiger and Elin is a trgaedy. I cannot glorify in the suffering of others or castigate others who are deeply suffering.
And folks should know better than to do so.Its not rationalization.
Good luck with your prejudices, we all have them, but this is not one I happen to have.

You know, I completely understand that you have your reasons for not wanting to "denigrate" Tiger Woods.
However, you are not far from turning around and doing to others on this thread what you supposedly abhor.
People are simply expressing their strong moral and social disapproval of Tiger's conduct. Yet you accuse them of "glorifying in the suffering of others" and "castigating" (I take it, in your view, wrongly) those who are deeply suffering. You say they are "rationalizing" that it's proper to strongly condemn Tiger's conduct.
Worst of all, and way too PC in my book, You call their expressions of their moral outrage "prejudicies."
Sorry. I think that's going too far.
If you want to counsel "lighten up," fine! That's your right and your advice may be appropriate and well-taken. But stop there.
