Honestly, I don't think he should be able to do what he likes - mostly because cheating on your spouse is a bad thing.
He did something wrong and he should get in trouble for it. I don't care if he is a good golfer, he's a cheating man whore.
I agree. Cheating on your wife is something to be ashamed of and he should get in trouble for it. I just don't see why the whole world needs to care. The media grabbing hold of this story and running with it for weeks can only make the situation worse and I bet there's thousands of people cheating on their partners every, day but they're not publicly shamed and humiliated like this. Just because he's "famous" doesn't mean that we should know every detail about his life.
Cheryl and Ashley Cole are rumoured to be getting divorced and that's OK but I'm sure it's going to be all over the news for weeks and weeks. All we need to know is, "Singer Cheryl Cole is set to divorce from football player, Ashly after X number of years." That's it. Move on. Not the next 6 weeks of divorce proceedings.
My argument seems to be about how the media cover these stories rather than what he actually did so I'll just up now as I'm off topic.
Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple.

Just because he's famous I don't believe that makes him more superior to anyone else when it comes down to marriage. On your wedding day you make vows that say you will remain faithful to the person who you're marrying which means that whether you're a professional golfer or an office worker, you don't cheat on your wife. Period. I don't really care what he's done as it's really none of my business but for the sake of his children I really hope that some sort agreement is able to be reached so that they're able to continue to life a stable life regardless of whether their mum and dad love eachother or not.

That's because he's not. You're either one or the other. He's not from Africa, so he's never been African to begin with.
African American (and anything of the sort) are just stupid PC terms and that's it.
You're either African or American. If you are born in America then you are an American. If you are born in Africa then you are an African. If you move to America and are a legal citizen then you are an American. And vice versa.
Honestly, saying African American makes just about as much sense as calling myself a British German French Indian American.
Besides, he's only partially black.
My point is, anyone who's black and living in America isn't an "African American" - you're an American.
Hell, this makes me wonder what black people are called in England - I can assure you that it isn't African American though.
African American =/= race.
African =/= race.
American =/= race.
Those are nationalities. Unless you have duel citizenship with Africa and America then you are not African American. Hell, I used to go to church with people who had duel citizenship - and they are white, but still - under technicality - were Africans and Americans.
Stupidest term to ever come down the pike because trust me when I say that in 50 years, this term will be considered racist. Just like Negro and colored became racist even though black people are the ones who came up with it.

Actually, Colored - Negro / N-word were things the other races called Black people during the times of Slavery. We didn't come up with on our own.
African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans) are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black[en.wikipedia.org] populations of Africa.[2][en.wikipedia.org] In the United States, the terms are generally used for Americans with at least partial Sub-Saharan African[en.wikipedia.org] ancestry.
There's also a people from Africa, that are white who could be considered,
African America.
Tiger woods is African American, Like 50 percent so for him to say he's not African American or have any black in him is stupid, His dad is an African American.

When I first heard about Tiger's scandal, I wanted to kick his ass, but know...is it really news anymore? Another star cheated on their better half....not something we've never heard about before. Although I guess it was a huge shock coming from him....I don't see it as news anymore.

No, you are mistaken. After slavery was abolished the term negro became more common. Then it was colored up until about the 60s.
Oh, you quoted Wiki, good job.
I'm telling you, that's incorrect. All it is is a politically correct term - nothing else.
Black Americans is one thing - that states race and nationality.
No, he is not. It's only because of his skin color.
What do you call a white black man? I've seen one before too. His wife and daughter were both very dark skinned - but he was white.
I never said he didn't have any black in him, I said it was only part of him.
He's half white and half black. He's not all black though. It's only because he's a minority that people say that to raise the minority population.
All I'm saying is that "African American" is a politically correct term - if you are black, you are black. Though if you wanna get technical anyone black is a Negroid. That's were the term negro came from. It's a technical word for one of the 3 races - along with Mongoloid (Asians, Indians)and Caucasoid (whites, Hispanics, middle easterners, etc).
Therefore, the term is stupid. Esp. as it was coined by black people as an alt. to "nigger". Later, they decided that was too offensive so it was changed to "colored".
And, again, this term is only used in America - therefore, it's not a proper term.
If you wanna get real technical, it's still a racial slur as it's confined to one area and is not the widely accepted term.
An American is an American and an African is an African.
By the way, nothing that you said changes anything that I said. What I said still stands as fact -- not made up.

Contradicting statements. Don't you know you can only be African American if you have slave blood?
Oh, wait, every single race on the face of the earth has been enslaved --- never mind then.
