Nike, Tiger and The Use of a Dead Man Words - Earl Woods Scolds Son from the Grave

I am not too sure what to think about this. 

Guess Who is Going to the Masters - Porn Star Joslyn James Still Looking for an Apology from Woods

Like she has not caused enough pain to Elin Woods; porn star and adultress Joslyn James has decided that she is going to go The Masters, where Tiger is due to make his return to golf.  She feels that she has not gotten a proper apology. 

Let's see, you have sex on camera for money and had an illict affair with a man you knew to married.  You also knew that his wife was pregnant twice during your affair and you think that you are owed an apology? 
Hmm, I think you should go crawl into a hole and never come back out.  The apology belongs to his wife, not to you.  He never owed you anything.  If you were stupid enough to think that he was going to leave his wife for you, that is your problem.  Seriously, what is wrong with this woman?  You took a chance on a married man and lost.  Be a big girl, admit your mistake and get on with your life.

The Porn Star Wants an Apology - Allred, James, and Tiger

Gloria Allred is at it again. After Tiger Woods made his first public comments after his indiscretions became public, one of his many mistresses held a press conference of her own. Joslyn James, the porn star, with the tears flowing, crumbled into the arms of her attorney, publicity whore, Gloria Allred. Again, this woman is a porn star. Joslyn has spent her adult life having sex with men on camera for money. She then involves herself with a married man who has two very young children. This is a man who is famous, so she knew full well that he was a husband and a new father. Yet, she expects not only an apology, but a in person apology.  Like Tiger doesn't have enough problems, he should be trying to calm down his porn star mistress.

 Gloria Allred then appeared on Fox News to say that; wait for it – "Porn stars are women too". Ok, yes they are women too. They are women who use their bodies to make money in the most intimate of ways. I have never watched porn. So, I can’t say with any sort of honesty what exactly you see and don’t see. But, it seems to me that sex is a pretty intimate thing that really isn’t meant to be shared with strangers. I understand that porn is a huge industry that makes billions of dollars every year. But, just because it makes money doesn’t make it right.


So this porn star, who can rightfully be called a slut, wants an apology. Where is the apology to Elin Woods? This relationship was taking place while Tiger’s wife was carrying his children. One comment that she made I can agree with, you can’t help who you fall in love with; but you certainly can help who you sleep with. I also don’t understand why she needs an attorney. Oh yeah, the almighty buck. Allred is exhibit A of what is wrong with our justice system. What happened to the days that when a person’s shameful behavior becomes public goes into hiding?


Ms. Allred, let me clear up a few things for you. When you knowingly get involved with a married man, he is lying. That is what they do, lie. They are lying to you, they are lying to their wife, and more than likely they are lying to themselves. They also are betraying the trust of their children. They cannot possibly be trusted. If you get involved with a married person, you deserve what you get. Tell your client to take responsibility for her own actions and get over it.

Tiger and Personal Responsibility

I had not planned on talking about this topic, but it doesn’t seem to be going away. Tiger’s bevies of mistresses keep coming forward. They have been on all the network morning shows. The majority of these women don’t seem to be remorseful in anyway. One decided to come forward because the press was reporting that she had taken money from Tiger. She wanted to clear that piece of misinformation up. Ok, she wanted to make sure that everyone knew she didn’t take money, but did not care that she had sex with a man she knew to be married? Is it ok because you didn’t take money? But of course the media is not asking these questions. People make mistakes, we have all done it. Let the person without sin be the first to cast a stone. But to put yourself out in the public to say that you are bedding down with a married man is a different thing.



The AP has given him the athlete of the decade award. I suppose one can make an argument that his professional life and his personal life are two different things. One of the issues that I have with much of the press coverage is the “disappointment” and “outrage” that everyone seems to be having.

What he has done to his wife and his children is awful and more than likely unforgivable as far as his wife is concerned. That is really between the two of them and no one else’s business. Affairs can be worked through, but serial cheating is another animal altogether. But is this the business of the rest of us? One of the stories that you keep hearing about is how he hoodwinked the public. But did he?


I am huge sports fan. So I do pay attention to the sporting world. Has Tiger ever come out and say that he is a role model? That is an issue that comes up in the world of professional sports. Many top athletes are very troubled human beings. They happen to be good at a particular sport that has thrown them into the public eye and in many cases gives them a great deal of money at a young age. Having a nephew who competed at the college level I do know for a fact that student athletes are treated differently than the rest of the student body. While they are not paid, they get many perks that other students just don’t get. This allows them to have the attitude that they are above the rules, because in some ways, they are. They are treated as a commodity.


Charles Barkley, former NBA player, has said on many occasions that he is no role model. His belief is that it is the job of parents to provide role models for their children. I agree with him. While there is no harm in your children looking up to a star athlete, to dream of becoming the next Kobe or Tiger. It is up to us to guide them and teach them how to become good human beings. It is not the job of some sports star that they more than likely never meet.


Tiger has a foundation that gives a great deal of money to charity. He has taken his time to promote some of these various charities. But with this comes the facts that he has taken sponsorships from companies that have issues, such as Chevron, that has a history of abuses in Nigeria. He has never questioned what his sponsors do; he has just asked when the check was going to be cut. He, like every human being, has both positives and negatives about him and his history. Michael Jordan has done the exact same thing. When asked about human rights abuses in China, he will only say that the Chinese buy sneakers too.

Athletes have a history of taking the check and keeping their mouths shut. If we as a society keep looking to strangers to guide us and our children we will continue to be let down. It is up to us to give a role model for our own families. Not the Tigers, Kobes, or Jordans of the world. So maybe it is time that we let Mr. and Mrs. Woods work out their problems in private where they belong, and we get to business of raising our kids to treat their spouse much better than Tiger treated his.
