Okay, so I watched the last few minutes of Mr Woods’ speech. Lots of ppl on Twitter think it’s irrelevant. But I don’t and here’s why.
In the economic times we’re living in, we have a sportsman – not a plumber, not an accountant, not a low-end worker – who can’t even be bothered to realise that he was being paid for a “core” image. Meaning that Who You Are is central to the sponsorship. His extramarital cocksmanship was surely not part of those discussions. That this slivering toad of a celebrity with great hand/eye coordination and a sense of long distance shots is such a charlatan to his sponsors and to his own bejeezus family is just showing everyone else that celebrity is an illusion. These people – despite how talented they are – are not role models and shouldn’t be assigned the fat contracts they’ve been given.
Watching the Woods conference insulted me as I did so. Of course I didn’t have to watch, but it’s like a car wreck… As I saw the YouTube video, this guy, the balls on him, had the nerve to address everyone as if he were effing Martin Sheen from the West Wing! How much of a chocolate starfish can you be???
No one is beyond redemption, but there are a few people whose redeemers need to go into boot camp in order to save the itinerant sinners. Bless the therapeutic specialists who Tiger Woods is leaning on.
