BREAKING NEWS: Tiger Talks- "I Have Let My Family Down"
Posted on Dec 02, 2009 @ 12:51PM
Moments ago, Tiger Woods issued his first in-depth statement on his website on the growing sex scandal that continues to dog him.
He writes:
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology."

Men care more about their perverse sex drives than the women they claim to love and their children. CASTRATE them all! (just freeze their sperm for reproduction). That will make the world a better place!

Creep. Loved to watch him. Won't now. Hope all married women take note and remember to use condoms with their husbands. You don't know when they stray. How long and how many women has he been with? I don't care anymore.

There's a disease out there called HPV--google it! We know a thirty-six year old man dying from a rare cancer caused by this--there is no cure! HPV or AIDS why take the risk....

You know his wife can't begin to heal if their names stay in the news. Close it up and let them have privacy. I haven't cheated but i'm not perfect either .

The sad part if this whole situation is that he spent money and time with all these other women, had sex with them when he should have spending time with his family. After he screwed these woman he went home and loved his wife.
