There's more money and less intellectual effort in judging, vilifying and diminishing Tiger Woods than in providing the public a lens to understand him and a sports world/culture that long ago was perverted by television's money and fame.
It takes no courage or thought to recognize Tiger's personal failure. He, as far as we know, shamed his wife and family. We can assume Tiger's Swedish wife adopted our American marriage value of strict monogamy, and she is mortified and shocked that her ridiculously famous, handsome, billionaire husband gave in to the temptation of road beef.

Hooked on Blondes.
is Jason saying that Swedish marriages have no value?
The real truth is this would not be news had the lion cheetah Tiger ‘kept his putter in his own bag’. I’m just sayin’....
The real truth is I could care less. He, his whores, nor his family are anyone of importance.
Sorry, ran out of gas about a third of the way through this mess.
I see Whitlock manages to blame white folks for seeing white Elin as a victim of a “brown skinned man”.
I saw this the other day. Laughed out loud. Whitlock is such a turd, it’s funny.
I thought the article was about Tiger and the world of sports; not racism.
“much of the sports media have turned Elin Nordegren into Natalee Holloway “Hello,Natalee is dead.This is a shotgun writer and misses the mark.
I don’t think anyone really wants Road Beef.
“You’re getting reverberations of O.J.,” Dr. Edwards said. “White America, corporate America feels betrayed. Tiger was accepted and given all the perks and benefits and now they feel betrayed, the same betrayal they felt with O.J. There are some (black) celebrities that get to dip their biscuit in the gravy of corporate America and then there are some that are given their own bowl of gravy. Tiger had rare access. His sponsors choreographed a superhuman image to promote a sport and sell product. They gave him everything except the latitude to exercise his humanity. There are no super humans down here. There’s only us, and sometimes we blow it.”
What in the Sam Hill? This article is one gigantic load of excuses and racism. And it’s blaming Elin? Oh, shut up dude.
No kidding - geez, he is all over the place, kinda like Tiger’s driving, but manages to always come back to the race card. He needs to get over it - MJ cheated, but it doesn’t matter whom he was married to; the simple fact is nobody has ever had a PR blowup of this magnitude. It’s not because MJ’s wife was black and Tiger’s is white!
I have never read such a disjointed piece of crap.
Well... whatever about Tiger... I’m just overjoyed to see that the romney-bashing spam is finally gone from every flippin’ thread.
It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have Turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do. All the Children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early Dismissal.
Teacher: “Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly, can Leave early today.”
Little Johnny says to himself “Good, I want to get outta here. I’m smart And will answer the question.”
Teacher: “Who said ‘Four Score and Seven Years Ago’?”
Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, “Abraham Lincoln.”
Teacher: “That’s right Susie, you can go home.”
Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first.
Teacher: “Who said ‘I Have a Dream’?”
Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, “Martin Luther King.”
Teacher: “That’s right Mary, you can go.”
Johnny is even madder than before.
Teacher: “Who said ‘Ask not, what your country can do for you’?”
Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, “John F. Kennedy.”
Teacher: “That’s right Nancy, you may also leave.”
Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the Questions.
When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, “I wish these b@tches would keep their mouths shut!”
The teacher turns around and yells: “NOW WHO SAID THAT?”
Johnny loudly replies: “TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?”
Jason Whitlock injects racism into the discussion in an attempt to shield Tiger from criticism. Elin's skin color plays as much a role in this discussion as Tiger's disdain for "women of color".
I'm glad I gave up watching these pampered, overpaid, steroid enhanced, crybaby "athletes". Football and basketball are particularly repulsive. I mean if you wouldn't invite any of these guys into your house for a beer, why would anyone sit and root for them on the TV? GIGO
You're right about that. I was with him for the first half of the piece. Too bad he didn't stop there. Whitlock often gets things right, but he messed up on this one.
How is this about race?
All the skanks are white too, aren’t they?
Yeah all us honkeys are are hurting for this foreign broad “irrevocably harmed” because she has to divorce tiger and dissappear with a nine digit settlement.....what?
Well now, Romney didn’t have any more respect to real marriage than Tiger does.
