First Church Disbands, This Web Site Set to Expire
j.zielger
After several days of evaluation, I have decided to disband the First Church of Tiger Woods (as indicated by the graphics at the top of this web site) and I will not renew the TigerWoodsIsGod domain name when it expires in a couple of months. Any future commentary on this site (which may not happen at all) will be regarding Tiger’s failings in relation to his affair/accident debacle which continues to unfold almost by the hour.
Because the First Church of Tiger Woods has been in existence since late 1996 and this web site has been around since early 2000, you might think that such a decision might be difficult. In this case, it was not. Unfortunately, Tiger Woods has made it all to easy to realize that he is no longer worthy of any special admiration.
The events of the past few days have revealed Tiger to be a serial adulterer, a blatant liar, and a selfish coward. While I am sure I will always respect his ability as a golfer, that was only a very small part of why this much misunderstood web site was created and why it became such a big part of my life.
As I have documented in my columns below, Tiger is clearly no longer deserving of being seen as a role model or a hero and he has needlessly squandered his unique potential to be a positive force in our country and the world. While I am relatively sure that Tiger will make a comeback from this sad episode and that there will be great moments for him in the future, I personally am done with Tiger Woods and I doubt that I will even care very much about whatever else he might achieve on the golf course (for someone who once vowed to make sure he lived until he saw Tiger get to 19 major championships, I have a hard time believing I can write those words with such ease).
For the record , here are a list of Tiger’s “sins” that make it impossible for me to continue with this web site.
He has had multiple affairs with sleazy women while married to the mother of his children and he has, to this date, not told the truth about them.
He has lied about the circumstances surrounding his accident in an arrogant and insulting fashion.
He has bailed on his own tournament and foundation just to shield himself from the media and lied about why he was doing doing so.
His silence to the police and the public has been an embarrassment to his fans and leaves us with no rational choice but to assume the very worst about what the truth really is.
In the end, this situation, like much of life is all about expectations. To whom much is given, much is expected. No one has ever been given more than Tiger and therefore our expectations for him were also unprecedented. He has failed to live up to those expectations and he has shattered a sacred trust that cannot be repaired. Therefore, Tiger Woods now has at least one less supporter. I am quite sure that I am not alone.
I’ve actually been kinda down about this whole story.
Soooo, I have to make jokes and find humor where I can.
Seriously, I hate to see anyone do what he did and disrupt what “may” have been a happy home, especially when there are kids.
I’ve seen bloggers saying that his wife is being offered $$ to stay, the prenup is being rewritten, etc. She is selling her soul. THe last count I saw is that 40 women have come out saying they’ve “had the Tiger by the tail.”
Even I could forgive my own hubby for one slip up, if I found out about it and the circumstances were right, but 40?!! Comon!
There have been some FUNNY comments about it here on FR!
You are an idiot. Tiger has been exposed as a serial adulterer, liar, fraud and you are still in fan boy mode.
I guess he did not want to take a blood test after his crash cause it might have picked up traces of steroids. You try to tell the cops you are sleeping when they come by after you had an accident. He was afraid of the blood test.
Get a life.
NT=New Testament.
I agree with you that it isn’t really funny when a seemingly happy family is put in jeopardy by the shenanigans of one of the spouses. You would think that a having a beautiful wife, two healthy children, several million dollar homes, a yacht, a enviable talent and more money that you can shake a stick at, would be enough to satisfy anyone, but noooooooo he just had to push the envelope. Now everything is turned topsy turvy and it will take gargantuan efforts on several fronts to put things right again, if that is even possible.
That being said, your play on words really did make me chuckle. Your brain is pretty quick on its feet. LOL!
Why? He was a Tiger Woods fan.
Well said.
While your coming clean Tiger, admit to your steroid use....even Canseco did

Oh my. LOL!
