Tiger Woods

I admit, it's hard to have sympathy for Tiger Woods. I am not a golf fan, but his celebrity surpassed golf and he launched into pop culture. He was on late night talk shows, he was considered a role model to millions of people and he brought golf to an entirely new audience. I like his video game series-in fact, I'm pretty good at the Tiger Woods for GBA. Now, he's on late night talk shows, but he's a punchline instead of a guest. 

Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. It's not hard to find companionship if you are wealthy and one of the most powerful men in your field. Let that be a lesson-sexual nature is so powerful that it can take down someone who seems to have it all. From congressmen to athletes to businessmen-no one is immune. 

I get it, because of the scandal there is a large group of people that will chalk up any bad thing that happens to him as "karma" or say "he deserves it". For a Christian to think that way is quite nasty, and I've seen Christians say that very thing. First off, what is a Christian doing believing in karma? Second, you deserve it too-we're all sinners. 

He was busted this weekend for DUI in Florida. His mug shot, now worldwide shows a man who has aged horribly. I agree that it's hard to have sympathy for him, after all he called a lot of this on himself-but I think he's a broken man. He needs to be punished for the DUI of course. However his fall from grace is both stunning and tragic.
