The Tiger Incident

I find it interesting that so many people place certain individuals on a pedestal. I don’t know what anyone could do to deserve such treatment. This week, Tiger Woods has been in the news. A spokesperson for the website, http://tigerwoodsisgod.com, came on air and stated that he was disappointed in Tiger for his actions and thought that he was the type of person that could be elevated and looked to as a role model.
First off, it’s one thing to look at someone as a role model, but calling Tiger a god is going a little far. There is a strong and definite difference between praise and worship. No man deserves worship.
Second, what do you expect of Tiger. Everything is speculation right now and from what I’ve heard, he’s admitted to doing wrong, apologized, and is currently trying to  reconcile his marriage, even attending counseling. No one is perfect. I can’t think of anything more respectable than a man trying to right his wrongs.
I guess the only thing I can really say is this: when you elevated a man the only thing you can expect him to do without fail is fall.
