Tiger Woods Cheated, but How's Your Love Life Doing?

Tiger Woods will make a statement on Friday, Feb. 19, about the marital infidelity news that the media has dragged into the ground. His millions of wives around the world will listen for his explanation to decide whether they forgive him. Or, wait. Isn't he only married to one person? Didn't he only make vows to one person? So why does the rest of the world feel like they're entitled to judge Tiger Woods? Am I the only one who could care less about his personal life?

I've heard about women coming out of the blue talking about how they've cheated with Tiger Woods. Unfortunately I couldn't get to my remote quick enough to change the channel before the recordings started of him identifying himself on his mistresses voicemails. I've shaken my head and debated with women who are offended that Tiger Woods didn't have any black women mistresses, which makes about as much sense to me as Snoop Doggy Dogg rationalizing why he made a black version of "Girls Gone Wild" to make us feel included. No thanks. I'll pass on wanting that much assimilation and am definitely relieved about my support of interracial dating for this issue alone.

Yes, Tiger Woods made a terrible mistake to cheat on his wife with that many women. Yes, Tiger Woods broke his marital vows. Yes, it was against the player handbook to identify himself on the voicemail messages. Yes, I laughed a little at Ludacris' latest song with Nicky Minaj "My Chick Bad" when he said, "She knock a b---h out and fight/Coming out swinging like Tiger Woods' wife." But the coverage is out of control.

America doesn't get this bent out of shape when our own significant others cheat, so why are we so worried about what Tiger Woods is doing? Tiger Woods has never been much of a socialite with the press. His purpose is to play golf. The press may have painted him as this great family man who is the most talented golfer in the world, but I don't recall him ever confirming or denying that he didn't make mistakes too or even discussing his family life outside of the basics.

Some of us who are wagging our fingers about Tiger Woods cheating are also cheating-or have cheated in the past-before, during and after Tiger Woods' press conference. Some of us have already forgiven family and friends, people who actually do effect our personal social gatherings and our lives, for cheating. But how many of you all who are attacking Tiger Woods actually know the man? How do you have this many opinions of someone who you don't know and who doesn't know you? You know his persona, but if you walked up to him on the street, could he tell you your first and last name while you're saying his? If not, then it's really none of your business what happens in his personal life.

I won't act like I'm above being fascinated by someone's personal life. I may discuss a gossip issue here and there when it's interesting to me. But I was over this scandal the same day I heard about it. Sometimes celebrities will do things that are interesting to us all in our own dull lives, but come on. Enough is enough. I feel extremely bad for his wife because this golfer put her in a compromising position by cheating on her with many women, allegedly without condoms. I don't respect that, but that's still her business. Tiger Woods (and his wife) should have a right to their privacy and not have to feel like he has to explain himself to thousands of people acting like his wife when the only person who he shared a promise with was his wife. If you weren't at the wedding, stop acting like you were. Dedicate this type of energy to your own relationship and stop worrying about Tiger Woods.
