Imagine yourself as an elite athlete, ranked number one in the world. You have just be named the highest paid athlete of all time. You are on top of the world.
Then one night you get in a fight with your wife. You decide to leave your residence because your frustration is not best suited to be inside. Then the worst happens, you crash.
Welcome to Tiger Woods today.
Friday November 27, 2009 Tiger Woods left his residence at 2:25 a.m. in his Cadillac Escalade. He then smashed the vehicle into a fire hydrant, followed by a tree. His wife, noticing Tiger was injured, came out with Tiger's golf clubs and smashed the back window. She then pulled him out and took him to the hospital.
Since Friday morning all of the sports media networks have been broadcasting the accident on an hourly basis. Tiger today released a statement about how he is handling the situation, and why he hasn't spoken with police. His lawyer has been handling the situation professionally, and has stated that Tiger is concentrating on getting better.
It's unfortunate that Tiger is being bombarded with different media outlets on a daily basis while trying to recover to concentrate what's most important to him, golf. I completely understand where he's coming from, and maybe we as a society should just give him a little more recovery space. Then we wouldn't need an answer, he'd probably just give one.
