I’m not going to write about if the Tiger Woods saga should get coverage.
He’s a public figure. Done deal.
But I did start thinking about the type and amount of coverage his cheatng ass is getting. Is it too much, or too overblown?
Who cares? But what does upset me is the sudden cry for privacy in an otherwise public world. Have people just now started to pay attention to celeb news?
We live in a society where a rich, ditzy blond girl is a superstar because she’s rich and ditzy.
Some jackass on the latest reality show can’t walk down the street without getting mobbed.
So how is it surprising to anybody that arguably the most famous active athlete in the world gets major coverage?
Deal with it people. Public figures are fair game regardless of the topic. It might not be the best system in the world. But it is the one we all helped create.
“Overblown” is an understatement. I can’t visit a major site, Yahoo, MSN, etc., without finding the Tiger update of the hour. But honestly, If he was my sponsor, I’d have his ass out there promoting me left, right, and center.. not dropping him!
