By now you must have all seen Tiger Woods’ press conference, where the professional golfer apologized for his infidelity to his wife, children, friends and fans.
He said everything he was supposed to, appearing sorry and regretful for his mistakes, and as the ensuing media firestorm proclaimed, this will be the first step for many in accepting Tiger back into their living rooms.
But where are these feelings of moral outrage coming from?
In the weeks following the car accident that spawned these events, hardly a day went by without another woman of “questionable moral character” appearing and admitting to being a mistress.
Videos of Tiger’s wife, Elin, and the couple’s two children walking from house to SUV have been presented with the tone of a national tragedy.
