Tiger Woods Speech

Okay let's start with the basics.Tiger woods made a speech apologizing to the public about his actions.Now, what I don't get is why is it such a HUGE deal if he's cheating or not.Sure he's the"world's greatest golfer" but does the public really need to be in on his business? During the speech he asked the media to stop following him and his family.He also said that they had a stake-out on his wife and, followed his younger children to their schools.What bothers me the most is that all the news channels stopped all of their shows just to play a 15 minute speech, but really so many articles about a 15minute apologizing speech?please tell me...........What's so great about it?I meen when Britney Spears shaved her head shiny she wasn't on the 3 O'clock news.She made headlines but not television shows......And by the way, who is he apologizing to? He asked the 'media' to stop following him and his family. He apologized to his 'friends' in the press room. I personally couldn't care less, you made a slip up....What am I supposed to do?I don't even watch golf personally...........So what's the big deal?

  1. I also wondered the same thing - why was Tiger Woods' speech so "newsworthy"? Sometimes I wonder about what the media considers "news" that everyone needs to know. Who decided to make Tiger's apology so important? I am glad that you watched this speech asking so many good questions about the role of the media in our lives.
