Tiger Who?

So for the past couple of weeks we have heard the reporters, and every news outlet go on and on about Mr Tiger Woods.  And after weeks of him hiding.  The search was been on to find Tiger.  Was he in South Africa?  Was he in really in sex rehab?  At some point a picture of Tiger was valued at $1,000,000.  A picture of some man who decided to "step out" on his "old lady" mmmmm.

So after 80 some days of being untraceable Mr. Tiger woods resurfaced on Friday 20th 2009 and held a press speech lasted 15 minutes. He controlled who  attended the press conference and no one could ask any questions.  And during the press conference the American stock market dipped to it's lowest daily trade and then picked up after the speech, showing that everyone was watching Tiger repent.

So I ask the question should the actions of one stupid man really impact our lives so much.  At the end of the day he does not pay a single one of our bills.  He does not care whether or not we succeed or fail.  Why should anyone care whether or not Tiger apologizes or not.  Who is Tiger, but some golfer.  Is this what our society has become that we thrieve on other peoples failures so much that even the stock market ceases to function efficiently, because Tiger is having a press conference to show how sorry he is.  Whether or not he apoligizes to his wife is that really anyone's business.  We should all mind our own business and deal with our own issues.  Just a thought.
