Treason
I was impressed with Tiger’s ability to remain quiet. And then…he issued a statement that cloaked his silence like a coat of guilt. What was he thinking? Where was his publicist? And did admitting to the media that he was not the token athlete that they’d made him out to be really matter more than his own integrity?
Actually, Tiger Woods is what the media wants him to be. He is the Amerikan Dream. In all actuality, he is nothing more than a rich negro willing to appease his handlers at the cost of his polished, seasoned reputation and the dignity of his Ancestors. Of course, it would take a counsel of his Elders (resembling his father) to explain how caring for the daughters of his handlers and ignoring the ills of his people has attracted energies designed to awaken what he denies and humble what he pretends the knowing do not know.
It is obvious that the multiple affairs have not strengthened his character. Therefore, he has jeopardized his marriage, sated a woman that could not do for him what he has done for her, and allowed avarice corporations to manipulate him with the very thing that he has made billions of for them. Funny…how these things work.

Throw Tiger to the Woods?
Do we really expect Tiger to talk? Should he really talk to the police? C’mon! If you recall the incident of January 2008 on the Golf Channel when the female broadcaster made the “lynch” remark, you will remember that Mr. Woods had no problem with it. And most of Amerika had no problem with his silence or acceptance of such a suggestive and historical term being used by his “friend”. Ouch! Only in Amerika!
Tiger loves his privacy. And though it is unclear as to what happened… no one is dead, complaining or seriously injured. Sure - some emotions have been provoked and questioned. Yet, talking to the police would be the wrong thing to do when you consider that he did nothing illegal. There are so many other infractions in Florida that deserve investigation. Some new - some old. Think!

Tiger will remain the commercial, token athlete/spokesperson for items that offer little to the consciousness or well-being of humanity in a time when going green is paramount. And certainly, his decision to ignore complicities inflicted on the downtrodden and/or choice of complement will continue in a vein that portrays self-hatred.
Tiger isn’t doing anything that Amerika and the media have not sanctioned or manufactured. And though I disagree with a many of his choices, I cheer for him on the green. He is a talented athlete, but I have learned that he will not and cannot speak for me. And now that he has chosen to not talk to the police… I am saluting him. Sure - there will be more incidents that expose those who can and decide not to for their careers. But...he set an example for those threatened by the law and the numerous confusing and corrupt codes.
