Tiger’s (carefully choreographed) and (much ballyhooed) public apology
Ruth Institute Staff post
We were all transfixed this afternoon as Tiger Woods took the international podium to follow in the footsteps of countless other men in the public eye who got caught
inflagrante delicto by offering his heartfelt apologies both to us and his (absent) wife.
So….what? Do we believe him? Do we not? Does it matter? Was he actually contrite about what he did or just for getting caught?
This man is arguably the most visible athlete in the civilized world; his trail cuts and leaves a wide swath in our society, and hence in the minds of our children.
Should Tiger be held to a higher standard? What do you think, Ruth supporters and blog readers?
We put up a short poll about this to the right of this page, but we want to know how you feel beyond the numbers. Weigh in here and tell us what you think the ramifications of this marriage scandal are, or will be?
