Tiger: It’s Not The Crime, It’s The Lack Of Style

Tiger Woods was unfaithful, and so what: well over half of all marriages involve infidelity, and that’s just reported infidelities. He was repeatedly unfaithful; again, bad, but not shocking. Adulterers the world round would consider double digits a mere foundation.

↵The real crime in this is that Tiger, blessed with fame and money, chose such weak targets in his wandering. A lion should try to take down majestic cape buffalo, not the weak, limping antelopes he found milling about in Vegas nightclubs. He should have at least challenged himself like champions do and assembled a formidable group of mistresses instead, a group befitting a man of his status and stature.

↵Imagine the press release said something like this:

↵↵“I have had extramarital relationships. These included Crown Princess Masako of Japan, actress Monica Belluci, Kari Byron of Mythbusters, a blue whale named Precious currently swimming 350 miles south of Bora Bora, Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, Olivia Munn, Alicia Keys, Senator Olympia Snow from Maine, and former Golden Girl and legend Betty White.”

↵↵See? Entirely different. Instead of trying to steal the crown jewels, Tiger settled for knocking over a slew of easy convenience stores. The crime is bad, but the lack of execution is what makes it look so, so much worse.
