Tiger Tiger Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods made his grand apology to us today for cheating on his wife. The whole thing is ridiculous. Why does he need to apologize to the public? What does cheating on his wife have to do with his golf capabilities? The guy is a fantastic golfer. That should be all anybody judges him on.

Oh, that's right. We must think of the children. Those poor, innocent kids that athletes are created to protect.

Well, unfortunately, this isn't even something kids should know about. For multiple reasons.

Reason 1. It's nobody's business. It's a non-story. It shouldn't have been reported on in the first place. This should always have been kept between Tiger and his wife.

Reason 2. Even if it's reported on, the kids don't need to know. Any child with the ability to read the paper or watch the news see things that are a lot worse than some athlete who cheats on his wife. Any child younger than that should have parents who can turn off the TV or take away the tabloid or maybe even sit down and talk to their kid and explain why some golfer should not be who they take their life lessons from. Sure, look up to his work ethic and how he got to be as good at golf as he is today. But he is not a role model for how to live your personal life.

And I say this all as someone who loves her celebrity blogs and US Weeklys. But that's because I'm a nosey gossip. And an adult. Who understands that whether Tiger stays faithful to his wife or not, has nothing to do with his golf skills. It's not like he was swallowing steroids all these years. Now that would be an issue. With his golfing abilities.

So, Tiger, I do not accept your apology. Because you don't owe me one.
