Whoremongers and Role Models

While watching morning television this morning the program I was watching was interrupted by Tiger Woods press conference.

Personally, I would rather watch the Curling competition, so I turned the channel to another morning show and it was on that channel. Tiger Woods press conference was on every major network this morning.

Really?

Am I the only person that thinks this is ridiculous?

Tiger Woods admitted to cheating on his wife and apologized for "disappointing" his fans and those who saw him as a role model.

If you think athletes or actors or celebrities are role models for your children, you shouldn't have children.

Tiger Woods can hit a small ball into a small hole, and for whatever reason our culture thinks this is exceptional and has rewarded him with billions of dollars. The monitory value placed on athletes is absurd, the value placed on actors and celebrities is nothing short of repugnant.

Granted, Tiger not only had one affair, he had many, as in double digits, yet I'm still unsure how its any one's business.

Tiger Woods is definitely a liar, but most of his sponsors have not dropped him at this point. Apparently, veracity is not a requirement to sell sports drinks or razors, or cars...or sports equipment.
