They just love to build them up and then cut ‘em down when they prove to be human. It is all about ratings, they could give a hang for these humans except for the income they are able to generate using their names.
Team Tiger is much to blame for all the attention on what happened as the media. Tiger earns earns huge amounts of money for endorsements, has his own tournament already named after him, and used his fame to get a Congressional earmark for his center in Orange County, (yes we ponied up for his Tiger Woods Learning Center). The cost of all this fame is you lose your privacy in today’s culture. If he wanted a more private life he could of just played golf but no he wanted to be one of the most recognizable names in sports.
Amen, tiki, this is what it’s about for the media -— and it’s a flaw of human nature -— to build someone up to heights of fame and fortune and then make sport of bringing them down. It’s ugly.
