I think it's awfully telling of our media that their only concern in this Tiger Woods controversy is how it will affect his future ability to make money from endorsements. WOW! What about the immorality of the alleged affairs or of the compassion for his wife and kids? The guy is worth more than a billion dollars, and all the media is concerned with is possible losses financially. Gimee a break!
Agreed. I pray for him and his family during this time. I pray they find peace the way God desires them to find it.
I have given up on paying much attention to the media anymore. Though in this culture it is rather hard to intentionally stay away from them.
The circus this created overshadowed some better stories.
Bobby Bowden and his legacy has been talked about by many sports outlets but has now but moved away from.
Tim Tebow and his powerful testimony has been completely missed...though that will possibly pick back up at the bowl season.
The Dubai debt issues needs some serious attention, the possibility of global contagion with this is too significant.
Finding room to speak about the rather sudden expansion of our military forces into Afghanistan is something that needs room.
The health care reform is ramping up for a decision.
And plenty of other things.
I was glad to see that TW did ask for privacy. He should be given that, because we owe it to all our people. In our churches when someone falls we owe them privacy for the sake of their lives and our church. We can deal with fallout effectively from a pastoral level, but there is something about "old wives tales" in Scripture that should be minded. The arrogant intrusion of the media into someone's life to try to ferrett out the truth is just the tip of a larger iceberg.
I hope healing happens and pray that I am strong enough to resist the Devil in my life.
