“He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount.”

This Chinese proverb reminds me of Tiger Woods’ scandal and his now dog image being portrayed.       

According to ABC, neighbors of Tiger Woods shared that before the accident, they heard Tiger’s wife, Elin screaming, “You are nothing but a dog!” Ironically, Tiger immediately ran into a fire hydrant. 

He’s now gone from the tiger to the dog. 

Does Tiger have pets?  He just had to lift his leg, not run into the fire hydrant to take a drunken leak.  Ha!

Seriously, these are things that happen in life every day, and they have nothing to do with golf.  The other “dogs” in the sports scene get away with the dog image yet Tiger’s in the dog house.  There was a time when many fans, probably Tiger himself, thought he was beyond reproach.  We often forget that celebrities, and in this case athletes, are people, too, and they make mistakes… they are human.

His role model image has taken a beating and apologizing on his Web site for unspecified “transgressions” is not going to redeem his image.

The golfer said he had let his family down and offered fans an apology. He also seemed to acknowledge his status as a much-admired superstar.  “I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves,” Woods’ statement said. “I am not without faults, and I am far short of perfect.”

Everyone is asking, “What is he hiding?” but he’s already caught so he probably just fears his current draping into the scandal.

 This just goes to show us that even the most confident looking people have insecurities too and nothing is truly what it seems. 

 Maybe Tiger should change his name to Cheetah!
