The parallel world of Woods

Tiger Woods is now a marked man. But one wonders about this legal parallel nocturnal world that Woods frequented. No one paid attention to it till his car crashed. Marriage is a tricky situation. Now that he is black sheep for family ads he can do the night spot ads for Las Vegas. He makes a compelling case for such ads. An honest to good family man is comforting like apple pie. A night club visiting swinger is good for something like James Bond movies. I suppose it is fair enough if people brand themselves as types: Family person at this point of time, Family person forever, Not a family person, Temporary break from family life, etc. Public lynching of Tiger Woods for infidelity is weird in this era. Its bad enough he loses his wife and family. Nothing warrants that he lose his golfing career or honors related to golf. There are no connections to matters of golf and matters of family. In fact a lot of talented people have pathetic family lives in history. Expecting sports people to have a sparkling family life is unrealistic. Its not elections for there is no public appeasement involved on basis of personality but more so on basis of talent. At least we hope so.
