I golf. I watch TV. And sometimes I watch Tiger Woods golf on TV. This absolutely qualifies me as much as anybody to blog about the Tiger Woods affair. (No pun intended.)
Let's first get the obvious out of the way. Tiger has become a morally bankrupt person, as it seems are many other celebrities and politicians. Apparently this is what fame and fortune does to some people - it corrupts them to the point they think they can do anything with little or no accountability. They lose their moral compass, if they had one to begin with. Tiger is a dispicable person.
That said, there is at least one angle to the story that I think has been under-covered by the media, related to Tiger's many alleged mistresses. Specifically, if their allegations are true, then why aren't they being called out for their part in all of this? They're getting a lot of attention, but not much disdain. They knew Tiger was married, and more recently with children. Why didn't they just say no?
Because they are whores.
Literally, Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines a whore as 'a promiscuous or immoral woman' and 'a venal or unscrupulous person'. And literally, some of his alleged mistresses were adult film stars. Either way, the definition fits.
Let's get real - these aren't nice girls. They don't say no. It's their job to profit from others' fame and fortune. They might end up selling their story, or better yet, have an illegitimate child and then they've really got it made. They might be called many other names, but they are, accurately, whores.
Saying this doesn't make Tiger a better person. Saying this doesn't make what Tiger did right. But saying this does put some perspective on the kind of people - immoral people - Tiger hung with. (This time, pun intended!)
