Tiger’s statement

By Tangotiger, 02:53 PM

Tiger’s statement:

Pretty good apology.

This is curious:

When my children were born, we only released photographs so that the paparazzi could not chase them.

However, my behaviour doesn’t make it right for the media to follow my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter to school and report the school’s location. They staked out my wife and they pursued my mom. Whatever my wrongdoings, for the sake of my family, please leave my wife and kids alone.

Right, I totally agree that they SHOULD NOT.  But, they will.  They are going to do it no matter what.  And, had he not released those pictures, they would have chased the babies until they got pictures.

In short, when his kids were born, Tiger asked himself: “How do I not make them chase my kids?” And he answered by releasign pictures.  End of story.

Now, he’s asking again “How do I make them not chase my kids?”.  The answer is clear: you douchebag, grant the interviews they want, and they’ll leave your family alone.

It’s not right, but that’s what has to happen.  Tiger is a coward, he’s left his family exposed, and he’s doing nothig to shield to them, other than to cry to the most heartless media in the world.

Be a man, take the hit, protect your kids.

I love this pithy comment, that basically, the media treated this as if President Woods was speaking.
