Tiger Woods should not be allowed to treat the law the way he has, three times he has cancelled scheduled appointments to talk to the police and give his version of events of the crash last Friday night, the obvious reason he is doing this is to give the wounds on his face time to heal.
The police should not be giving him preferential treatment because of his status, I understand their patience is wearing thin and they are threatening to get a warrant to raid his house, Woods has further muddied the waters by hiring a local criminal lawyer to represent him.
It does look as though Tiger has had a bit of a beating of the wife, it seems that he was struck across the face before he ran out and jumped into his car barefoot, which in Florida is in itself an offence, you may not drive barefoot in any part of Florida private estate or not.
If his wife as she claims was rescuing woods from the car, why was she when police arrived in their words “hovering over him with a golf club in her hand” also if Woods facial injuries were sustained by hitting the steering wheel why was there no blood on the wheel but blood all over his face and clothes.
The millionaires estate that Tiger lives on is covered by CCTV not one inch is left exposed there will be footage of the whole incident somewhere, I’m sure Tiger’s own security system will have picked it up, this story still has a lot of mileage in it and will run and run.
My opinion is that Tigers team is now working on damage limitation, bearing in mind the lucrative endorsement contracts he has Tiger should come clean and admit to a domestic problem which he can get over, after all everyone has marriage problems from time to time, but if Tiger ties to play with the law and a criminal conviction is the end result his endorsements will quickly dry up.
Tigers clean living and ideal family life image alongside his extraordinary skill make him the superstar he is in the marketing world, but in America they do like their hero’s clean cut, so lets have the full story and move on.
Two of the three sporting superstars Gillette use to promote their products in global advertising have in the last week made headline news for the wrong reasons.
ReplyDeleteThierry Henry for handball in a soccer match that knocked Ireland out of the World Cup unfairly, and now Tiger Woods in a mystery crash. They say things come in three's - If I was Roger Federer I'd be worried. He's the third guy right?
Federer was already in the news for allegedly cheating in his match a recent points based tournament and getting Murray out, he deliberately lost so many legs so Murray could not progress, but then Justice was "served" (excuse the pun) when he was beaten himself in the next round.
