Ick's Corner

I was not going to post anything about whats going on with Tiger Woods, but I have had enough. For all of you fans out there that think Tiger Woods has handled this completely wrong, and your entitled to details, go buy a tabloid magazine to get your gossip fix. Tiger Woods doesn’t owe the fans any details.  The fact of the matter is this story has blown up because for years no  one had any dirt on Tiger, and now the media is going to ride this story as long as they can.

The fact that ESPN has brought up Micheal Vick, and Kobe Bryant as comparison points to what is going on with Tiger Woods is a joke.  Micheal Vick funded an ILLEGAL dog fighting ring, NOT EVEN CLOSE to the same thing. Kobe Bryant was accused of RAPE, once again NOT EVEN CLOSE!  Tiger Woods made mistakes, and has finally proven to the world that he is human.   Tiger Woods is handling this in the way he should, behind closed doors with his family.  When did we as a society get this sense of entitlement to know everything going in every one’s life?  People complain about how much the Government knows about each of us, but in the same breath complain that they need details about a private matter?

For all you fans who feel Tiger Woods sponsors should drop him as their spokesperson, you would be FIRED if you had to make that decision for any of the companies that he endorses.  In these tough economic times no C.E.O or corporate big wig is trying to be without a job.  I could give you 100 different reason for why Tiger Woods will not be dropped, but I will let this video below speak for itself.

If the powers that be from say NIKE dropped Tiger Woods,  don’t think for a second another major player in the sports equipment game would pick him up in a heartbeat. NIKE looses Billions, while the company that picked him up adds Billions to their bottom line.  Besides if you think for one second that some of those C.E.O’s can’t sympathise with what Tiger Woods is going through right now, then I have a bridge I’ll sell you!

This to will pass, just like it did for Micheal Vick and Kobe Bryant, fans still cheer for them. Kobe Bryant has the number one jersey sales in the world, and Micheal Vick is back playing football. Fans have a short memory when it comes to their favorite players.  Fans will be yelling for every ball Tiger Woods hits to *Get In The Hole*, as they always have.  Big companies like NIKE and Gatorade will still make billions off products, and Tiger Woods will most likely remain the greatest golfer to ever play the game.
