Tiger Woods Car accident

On Friday around 2:25 am Tiger Woods was in a 1 car accident in his driveway. At first this was just a small story until the media got ahold of it and then the frenzy ensued.
The Back window was shattered and the story is that his wife pulled him out of the car and was taking care of him when the paramedics showed up. This story has grown legs and it's running like Jessie Owens in the Olympics.
Tiger tried to depart his home in a gated community outside of Orlando and managed an almost impossible driving trajectory – a 120-degree turn – and wound up hitting a fire hydrant and a neighbor’s tree.
Of course Tiger is fine but the media has questions and they are demanding answers. The police department has gone to Tigers community to ask him a few questions to no avail, they can't get any information from him. Come on now, you know that Tiger's rep was at his side shortly after this thing came to light and he was informed that all he should do is give a statement and leave it at that. Well Tiger gave his statement:
“The only person responsible for the accident is me,” the statement read. “My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble.
“This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.”
The rumors of an extra marital affair starting this whole drama are being cycled throughout the sports world and on the Internet. I don't know the truth to the allegations but it is a little fishy that the story broke the day before the accident and he had the car trouble the following morning.
As more and more reports come to light about that night more and more questions are being asked. There was no blood found on the steering wheel of the car and that in itself has cast some doubt on the story.
I personally Love the fact that Tiger is the best golfer in our era It gives my son a role model to strive for. Because of Tigers achievements every child of every color can dream to be the best in their field and that part is wonderful. The down side of the fame is that everything that happens in your life becomes part of the spectacle and could potentially be blown out of proportion.
I hope this thing passes for Tiger and his life will move on from this point. What do you think?

  1. Now, if this was someone of less celebrity, would everyone be going through all this trouble? I say stop speculating and wait for the truth to come out!

  2. That's true I think the speculation should stop but the fact of the matter is that people will still talk and if Tiger has some good atributes then they should be highlighted and brought out.
