If every America, me included, based there decision to purchase a product or service upon the morale position of the CEO's, executives, management, employees, etc. of those companies, which companies would be morale enough to be patronized?
Even the media, the same people scrambling with excitement to report the Tiger Woods, do not some them commit adulterous acts or fornicate, so what? If you turn on the popular television shows today, these moral acts are apart of the shows for entertainment, right? Listen, I'm not implying that fornication or adultery is OK, nor am I defending Tigers Woods for these wrong acts, but are the stones that many citizens are casting fair?
So, why would I stop consuming products because of any one's immoral acts? What purpose would that serve? What? By my boycotting any of Tiger Woods sponsors, I'm making a strong stance for morality? I'm trying to show the world how moral I am?
This is not an honest position. Call it my opinion and say it does not matter, if you will, but casting stones at Tiger Woods does not discourage or stop sin or sinning. If anything, we should be supporting and encouraging Tiger Woods recovery from sex addiction and the healing of his marriage.
Other than Tiger Woods, the rest of the world must be without sin, right? People should never idolize others anyway regardless of how well one plays a sport, or any other activity for that matter. I respect Tiger for his abilities to perform well on the golf course, and regardless of his immoral acts, that has nothing to do with how he plays the game, and uplifted the sport and inspired millions around the world to play golf. It was not his moral standing that made him a so called icon of golf, it was his talented golf abilities.
With that said, I will continue to patronize services or products I enjoy regardless. Also, I respect the opinions of others that will disagree with me as well. Isn't it great we all see things from different view points?
What Tiger did was without excuse, I concur.
