Tiger Woods should've probably taken some time off following his big sex scandal. He could've gone sailing, done some therapy, worked on his marriage, and then returned to the game that needs him so badsly after everything had blown over. Right now he's radioactive. Playing the Masters only keeps the story hot. While the story's hot there are gonna be a lot of people who want to tap into the toxic fame for themselves. Like Tiger's kindergarten teacher.
For years Tiger had been telling a story about how he'd been the victim of a racially based assault in kindergarten. Some kids, according to Tiger, tied him to a tree and then spray painted him with racial epithets. It's the kind of story that plays up the triumph over adversity angle. Just like George Washington and the cherry tree (It was very inspiring to hear about some one making it in politics despite honesty!). It turns out that like the cherry tree, Tiger's school yard assault never actually happened. At least that's what the teacher is telling legal loose canon and Rachel Uchitel council Gloria Allred.
The woman in question has come forward because she feels she is just as entitled to an apology as any of Woods' mistress. No that Tiger poked her or anything. Not even Tiger would've been capable of such preschooler prowess. It's that the story has disturbed her.
The kindergarten teacher must be a sensitive soul. She claims that since Woods started spreading these stories about mischeif in the schoolyard she has become chronically stressed out. She's even developed colitis, insomnia, and a host of other complaints that are either real, imaginary, or totally spurious. So Tiger needs to say "Sorry". Once the mea culpa is out of the way then they can move on to the lawsuit that they seem to be positioning themselves for. That may sound cynical but I doubt that Allred is repping the lady out of the goodness of her heart. Remember that once you say sorry you've accepted liability and can be sued! Just look up an old Rockford Files episode called the attractive Nuisance if you doubt it. Watching lots of TV has made a whole generation pretty aware!
Now here's MSNBC news hottie Contessa Brewer with their resident gossip expert for more details. I guess that Contessa is one of the few that Tiger hasn't gotten around to yet. Hey, the guy is still young!
