As
I was reviewing different stories in the media this week one thing really stood
out to me. That is, with all that is happening in the world I am amazed with
what can actually be a headline. Just this week there were murders, gun control
debates, and even an unveiling of a presidential candidate's tax plan. Along
with these, Tiger Woods is still making headlines. The interesting part about
this is that he is still a headline, but for his continued lackluster
performance. At one time he was the best
in the world at golf. Now, he is hardly competitive in the major events. This
shows how fixated the sports community has become on him and even a level of
ambivalence from non-sports fans. Since the news of his infidelity came out
several years ago, his golfing performances have steadily declined but the
attention hasn't. At this point, the media just continues to highlight his
average rounds of golf and has made him into a negative caricature.
These headlines seem to continue just to make him look worse and worse, like
the media wants him to pay for how he treated women in the past.
