A Media Event

Tiger Woods was the hot topic on this morning's Soft Rock 106.5 Wakeup Club. Callers seemed unanimous in their belief that the media has given the story far too much attention. Some were disgusted by his behavior and wished he would just fade from the spotlight for that reason alone. Others figured it was none of our business. Neither appear to be the case anytime soon, judging from the attention given to his public statement this morning. Will the fans and sponsors come back? Last night on CNN's Larry King Live, the guests seemed to agree that Tiger will make a strong comeback despite all the scandal. What about the disppointment many who looked to him now feel? I have always said that celebrity should not instantly be viewed as role models. How sincere was his apology? That's for his family to decide. I agree with NewsChannel 8 sportscaster Noah Finz when he says Tiger Woods "doesn't owe me anything." There are other more pressing issues that actually affect our lives.
