A domesticated Tiger Woods asks for forgiveness for being a man. Woods who could have thousands of women had a mere 14 women over a period of many years. Tiger’s mistake was to agree on a non-open marriage and to project the good boy image. Like most men, Woods got into the typical vicious cycle of false promises and deceit, instead of being honest and standing up for his rights as a powerful and highly desirable alpha male. And to add insult to injury, he now does “sexual addiction therapy” to rid him of normal male feelings and impulses. Maybe he ought to get castrated
What good is it for a man to earn US$ 100 Million if he cannot have fun? Here is Tiger’s truth:
I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn’t […] have to go far to find them.

But then he went on asking for forgiveness. He disappointed his wife, his fans, his business partners.
I am also aware of the pain my behavior has caused to those of you in this room. I have let you down. I have let down my fans. For many of you, especially my friends, my behavior has been a personal disappointment. To those of you who work for me, I have let you down, personally and professionally. My behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners.
He has not caused any pain to me. Actually, I found his behavior endearing. Of course, his business partners who profit from Tiger Woods’ squeaky clean image, they have reason to worry. Maybe Woods should settle for earning a mere 50 million a year and having fun, instead of making 100 Million.
Woods’mother put things into perspective:
Afterward, Woods’ mother, Kultida Woods, spoke to reporters, saying how proud she is of him.
“Golf is just like life, when you make a mistake, you learn from your mistake and move on stronger. That’s the way he is,” she said.
“I am upset the way media treated him like he’s a criminal. … He didn’t kill anybody, he didn’t do anything illegal,” she said.
“They’ve being carrying on from Thanksgiving until now. That’s not right.”

Sure, Tiger Woods did not keep his agreement, his vow of faithfulness. Maybe he should not have agreed to these condicions in the first place. Why does a rich powerful man abdicate his freedom and vow to be “faithful”, to never look at another woman again?
I’ve had a lot of time to think about what I have done. My failures have made me look at myself in a way I never wanted to before. It is now up to me to make amends. And that starts by never repeating the mistakes I have made. It is up to me to start living a life of integrity.
Don’t make vows of faithfulness, and you can live a life with fun and enjoy integrity. Did he not take good care of his family? Fed them well. Earned a lot of money for them? Just he was foolish enough to get trapped in a vow of “fidelity”.
Now here is a rare positive example of another famous “pervert” husband’s wife supporting a husband’s freedom:
The wife of Portsmouth manager Avram Grant has hit back at allegations her husband was caught in a ‘Thai’ brothel by claiming: ‘He can do whatever he likes with his body.’

Tiger should have gotten himself such a wife. I envy Avram Grant, he got himself a great open minded liberal wife.
