True, if you WANT to be promiscuous, don't get married. Agreed. But isn't it entirely possible that Tiger had no intentions to cheat on his wife? Isn't it possible that he still loves her? I just don't like the judgement being hurled at Woods like he's the scum of the earth all of a sudden. Yes, it's a horrible thing to be unfaithful to your spouse - it really is. But it's amazing to me how he's fallen from grace in the eyes of so many because of infidelity and a moral weakness.
I am in no way trying to demean or undermine the instition of marriage by my reasoning, because I'm not. I just don't appreciate how he's being demonized and judged - especially when we don't live in Tiger Woods' shoes.

Well, I'm operating under the assumption that he's been promiscuous for some time. I find it very hard to believe that he married a gorgeous Swedish model and shortly after simply decided to start fooling around. My hunch is that he's been this way for a long time. Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't think Tiger Woods is a bad human being. His charities have been fantastic, and he's done a ton of good on and off the golf course. But he has his demons (a wandering eye to say the least) clearly.
I'm not trying to demonize the man, but come on 12th. You don't like the way he's being judged? The most famous athlete possibly of all time has just been nailed for ongoing, premeditated infidelity and lies. You really think he should be above reproach? I certainly haven't heard him called the scum of the earth, but this is cause (and rightfully so) for his character to be questioned.
