“Tiger Woods hit a tree then a fire hydrant with his car”. “Tiger Woods’ car accident is looking more suspicious every day”. “Tiger Woods’ wife broke the relieve windows of his crashed car with a golf club to catch him out”. “Where was Tiger Woods going at 2:25 in the morning? ” These are all statements I’ve heard on assinine TV shows for the last two days. CNN has been spouting off ad infinitum about Tiger Woods and his car accident, the BBC had a story (albeit less sensationalistic than the American shows) about Tiger Woods, his car accident and his supposed affair with another woman, and Yahoo has the Tiger Woods story splashed all over their ‘news’ pages. Seriously, who cares! And why are we all being forced to listen to this stuff?
I’ve always been irritated by the public’s insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip. Celebrities like Tiger Woods can’t state one foot wrong, do anything that a certain percentage of the public might disapprove of, or do something even in the privacy of their own homes without some idiot finding out and broadcasting it to the world. Then half of the rest of humanity wants to read about it. Why? What possible difference could it manufacture to your life that someone like Tiger Woods has had a minor car accident? Why do you care that his wife had to break windows to find him out of his car? And, for pity’s sake, what business is it of yours where Tiger Woods was going at 2:25 am?
For the most part, Tiger Woods has had a pretty squeaky clean public life for all of his very public career. Married, a proud parent, and the most famous golfer in the world, Woods has just gotten on with his life, his job and his business dealings over the years. But, with this minor traffic accident (and yes, it was minor, with Woods’ injuries even being minor, although they too were blown out of all proportion by the news media) so-called ‘experts’ are now crawling out of the woodwork to give their ‘expert opinion’ on how this might affect Tiger Woods sponsorships and business opportunities. Newsflash. It won’t.
What’s nothing more than a minor traffic accident in which Woods states he “lost control of his car” and was “completely responsible”, that should be the end of the story. After all, if the truth is that Tiger Woods was having an argument with his wife and lost control of his car because he was angry (something which many news outlets are hinting at if not outright saying it), that’s their business and not ours. Most couples have arguments. Most couples leave in anger. And most couples do things they might regret later. Tiger Woods isn’t God. He’s human and allowed to make mistakes, objective like the rest of us.
So, to all those Nosy Noras who have nothing better to do with their lives than listen to TV ‘news’ about Tiger Woods and his car accident. Please. Get…….a……….life! Stop wasting yours gossiping about someone like Tiger Woods and a minor incident that won’t be worth anything a week from now. I don’t care that Tiger Woods had a car accident and, seriously, neither should you.
