Tiger Woods' "I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry" Speech

Now that the top golfer and top professional athlete in the world finally came out of his silence, people are reacting to his speech. Slicing and dicing every single word that came out of his mouth... putting a microscope on every vowel and syllable said.

Tiger Woods cheated, everyone will have an opinion. I understand that.

After watching and listening to the speech numerous times, it took me awhile to collect my thoughts on the entire situation.

The speech was filled with what religion he prefers, not using steroids and attacking the media... and the "I'm sorry" trickled throughout... it came off odd, Tiger.

Woods had help writing it. We all know that is true. He stumbled throughout and seemed very mechanical. But remember this... he is a golfer. He is trained to be like a robot... that is what makes him the best in the world, repetition. So I can understand why he would have a hard time coming off emotional and sensitive. With that said, even if he had true emotion... we would NOT have seen it anyways.

Overall, Tiger is sorry he is sorry. He REALLY is sorry though, BUT for all the wrong reasons. He is sorry he was caught and lost millions of dollars in endorsement deals. He is sorry his wife knows about his infidelity and will have trust issues. He is sorry he won't be looked at the same by the youth around the country and world.

Tiger is in a league of his own. Possibly becoming the first billionaire athlete in the world. He will be looked at differently, and rightfully so... A classic situation of someone getting so much bigger than the world around him... right before getting knocked down back to reality. Pride before the fall.

But hey, you see this time after time... A big time athlete being told day in and day out how great they are. After awhile they believe it and think they are untouchable. But in all actuality, that just isn't the case.

Get back on the golf course, Tiger. Whether the golf world will admit it or not, we need you. No, not as a person that cheats on his wife, but as the athlete that is the best in the world at what he does, Please.

I'm pleading this for selfish reasons so we can ALL move along from this sex saga.
