I feel sorry for his wife and kids

[Sarah Ibarruri]

Here's an Australian article - the UK is apparently unearthing more trash on this a-h.

Tiger Woods 'used bodyguards to lure his lovers'


TIGER Woods used his wealth and loyal friends to conceal his adulterous lifestyle, seducing his mistresses with gifts and confessions of love to keep them quiet.

The billionaire golfer's bodyguards approached women in nightclubs on his behalf and he would turn to close business allies for help arranging later meetings. (rest of article at link above)

1. She should take the prenup money and the kids - and run like hell...

This guy is sick.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. He makes like 1000 million a year and the prenup is $20 mil

I think she should discuss this in detail with many attorneys before accepting any $ :-)

[polichick]

8. It's rumored that he offered her $5 mill. more to stay at least a little while...

...and $55 mill. extra (making the total $80 million) to stay for 7 years and continue to attend events with him as if nothing has happened. Weird.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

11. Very little money compared with what he has and makes - what a cheapskate

He really thinks a lot of himself.

[polichick]

14. How in the world could she just keep attending golf events pretending...

...everything is normal without feeling bought and paid for? I'd take the $20 mill. plus child support and dignity.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

16. I'd probably take the $20 million, make sure the kids are provided for wonderfully,

make sure I get the house so I own it, and that I get the opportunity to write a book to expose everything I know about this a-hole she married

[polichick]

18. Good point about the book. If she accepts more money, he'll have a clause...

...to keep her quiet.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

21. Yep! Heck, all his mistresses (another one just came out of the woodwork) are in deals for books

Why shouldn't his wife write one too? :toast:

[timeforpeace]

43. She has as much courage as Hillary Clinton.

[polichick]

44. But Bill didn't pay Hillary $60 million to stay. nt

3. This is ricidulous for this site. He's not political, this isn't political,

perhaps you should join a gossip site for this crap.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

5. Is this section called, "Political discussion?" I think it's called "general discussion"

You might be in the wrong place.

[AspenRose]

31. I love it when people who don't care about the OP topic

care enough to post about how they don't care about it! :rofl:


Yes, those of you who are indignant, weary and outraged at the topic du jour have proven you're intellectually superior for not giving a shit. And because you couldn't ignore it and let it go without kicking someone else, you should be allowed (due to your intellectual superiority) to take an opportunity to post insults here so you can belittle the person who started the thread.

Honestly, if you don't like the topic, HIDE THE THREAD. Go find a healthier way to deal with your curmudgeonliness and live and let live. :hi:

[AspenRose]

6. Hide thread is your friend

Learn it, live it, love it

[havocmom]

26. Sorry, but economic treatment of betrayed spouses IS political

especially in a time when so many adults are denied civil rights so a bunch of delusional wingers can pretend marriage is being defended. Sanctity of Marriage is their battle cry so they can deny that very thing to a rather big chunk of the population and yet they do nothing to REALLY defend the scantily of the excuse they use to deny rights to some.

And then there is the can of worms of all the facets of legal contracts in marriage, and how, too often, the female partner is not a partner at all and never could negotiate from any position of strength. Yeah, I know, nobody forced her to sign. LOL, but she went in showing a bit more good faith than the chap who can spend a few mil and shit all over the 'scantily of marriage' and their 'partners'.

Basically, there is politics involved in just about any formal human relationship.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

28. Exactly, and as someone else said, the culture of wink-wink, nod-nod has got to be exposed

He has shown a degree of disrespect towards both his wife and kids that is revolting.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. I feel sorry for the family...

of the people shallow enough to give a shit.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

7. This is a good lesson for those who do this, no? nt

[Kalyke]

9. Considering that millions of boys and young men look up to this

asshole, I think that more people SHOULD give a shit.

I certainly don't want my son or the sons of others growing up to think you can just dump all over your wife like garbage because Tiger got away with it with little to no repercussions.

:shrug:

[Sarah Ibarruri]

13. I agree - it came out this man is scum yet the U.S. thought he was awesome

I think it's a good thing everyone learn from this.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. You really think your sons are going to cheat on their wives because of Tiger Woods?

That's fucking ridiculous.

I'm reminded of all the crazy ass republicans upset because Bill Clinton taught teenagers about oral sex.

[Kalyke]

24. Not JUST Tiger, no, but the whole culture that nods and winks

when a man does it, forgetting that he's actually devasted someone who loved and trusted him.

Oral sex amongst teenagers isn't quite the same thing: first, the vast majority of them aren't married; therefore, they did not take a vow of fidelity, entered into a legal partnership and pledge trust to a spouse. Second, they already knew about oral sex and if the crazy-ass Republicans didn't know that, then they're as stupid as we always knew they were.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

27. SO true. The degree of disrespect he showed towards his wife is astounding

A new mistress just came out and is in deals with the media.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

17. Think the Nike "I'm Tiger Woods" add might have...

...influenced the minds of young, impressionable kids.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

25. I think parents of wannabe golfers are now covering their kids' eyes every time

a new mistress gets on TV to expose what Tiger was doing to his wife.

[JVS]

32. But someone is getting sexual gratification! It's evil!!!!

[Kalyke]

36. Sexual gratification is not evil if you're not hurting your wife and family

by cheating on them. Sexual gratification is not evil if you're single and have a series of consensual affairs.

This has NOTHING to do with that.

I love sex - I have it with my husband all the time. What I don't do is go out and have sex with at least four other men since I gave a pledge of fidelity to my husband when we married.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

38. Oh! How nice that you think hurting your spouse is a good thing as long as the penis is satisfied

Great!

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. I don't give a shit

This belongs on the National Enquirer discussion board. Or a sports board.

[Lorien]

39. Agreed. Since I'm in Orlando it's all thet the "news" talks about down here

They really should just have a celebrity gossip channel somewhere and keep this crap off of "news" networks.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

12. Holy crap!

:crazy:

[Deja Q]

19. As do I. It's a pity that

Tiger didn't hire bodyguards to bring down sports shoe sweatshops...

[Sarah Ibarruri]

30. Oh that's another thing, he could give a shit what's going on in the world

He's got money coming out his @$$ but doesn't make a statement against sweatshops, to help homeless, to do anything. He's a selfish a-hole, pure and simple.

[undeterred]

20. I heard he even had someone else ask his wife out for him

the first time. Not a big risk taker, are ya Tiger?

[Sarah Ibarruri]

22. He thinks too much of himself, and he is not a nice man at all

I think what happened is excellent. You play with people's hearts as if they were toys, and sooner or later it'll blow up in your face.

[napi21]

23. I think men & women in that money bracket expect straying.

I honestly don't think it's a big deal. People put way too much emphasis on fidelity. As long as they are personally compatible and the children are well cared for, who cares if he or she has a few flings.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

29. I think cheating on a spouse and particularly when you have kids, is revolting, however....

from what's coming out in this case, this involves countless women and years of cheating, methodical arrangements, the whole nine-yards. You can make a movie about Tiger Woods, NOT about his golf, but about his cheating. It's disgusting.

[Kalyke]

33. Because if you're expecting fidelity and your spouse cheats, it's

emotionally devastating as hell. And, if their mother is devastated by the fact that her husband disrespected their vows and shot the fuck out of her trust, then the children WON'T be well-cared for - at least for a short time while the mother tries to recover from that emotional abuse.

And, yes, I put a great deal of emphasis on fidelity, as do most people. Why? Because straying is a trust-breaker for anyone who agreed to stay faithful in a marriage. If you have an open marriage, then it's not a big deal because there was no breach of trust.

Man, you're kind of emotionally stoic, aren't you?

[Sarah Ibarruri]

34. I agree w/you. Also, it's amazing how many people who think nothing of infidelity

I'd like to know what kind of household they were raised in. Must be scary.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

35. I don't disagree so long as both parties are OK with that going in...

Otherwise, it is a big deal. Her reaction is only newsworthy because he is famous. I'm sure a lot of spouse get hurt, badly, and some react even more aggressively than she.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

37. But cheating is called cheating because one spouse doesn't know it

Besides, forgiving a one-night stand is hard as hell. Most people can't do it. However, this is NOT a one-night stand. This is a huge amount of mistresses he was keeping for years!

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

45. Then let me clarify. I was agreeing with napi21...

...that philandering is not that big a deal. It can't be. It's like saying divorce or contraception is unacceptable. Good luck with that.

I never said cheating, as you define it, is OK. Please read what I said.

[Blue_Tires]

40. i have 55 million reasons not to weep for the wifey and kids

and not to defend Tiger, but the process of using bodyguards/trusted associates/other members of the entourage to pull or negotiate with women (and as alibis) has been in use for a long time now -- NBA/NFL/Hollywood superstars have been doing it for a couple of decades (especially those stars who can't bee seen trawling for women in dive bars...)

[Are_grits_groceries]

41. Tiger was friends with a group of

other famous sports figures. He is in contact with them a great deal. A couple of them are Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley.
As you can see, he is close friends with people who aren't know for fidelity to their spouses. In addition, MJ is notorious for not taking positions on a lot of causes. He wouldn't even endorse Harvey Gantt when he was running against Jesse Helms.
Sir Charles is much more involved in politics and voices his opinions regularly. He wants to be Governor of Alabama. On the face of it, that might seem impossible. However, I don't bet against Sir Charles.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

42. Yeah but hating on Tiger is racist didnt you hear? n/t
