Lunch Break: Tiger’s new Nike commercial
To give us a break from the daily grind…
From Examiner.com…
In a new Nike commercial that’s sure to draw both praise and criticism, Tiger Woods stares into the camera while his late father Earl Woods’ voice is overheard. Seeming to directly address Tiger’s sex scandal, Earl speaks as his son stands stoically.
“Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive,” says Earl Woods in the 30-second commercial.
“To promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was. I want to find out what your feelings are. And did you learn anything?”
The camera then zooms in on Tiger’s face, as flash bulbs are seen going off, appearing to represent the media’s glare.
The ad is sure to cause strong reactions on both sides of the aisle. Some may feel that the ad is poignant, an incredible risk taken by a sports star and corporation to attack a reputation marred by infidelity.
Others will clearly see this as yet another shameful move by Tiger. A desperate attempt to clean up his image with the aid of his strongest sponsor and deceased father.

Face it folks, Tiger needs the Saviour as much as Judah did when he had that affair with what turned out to be his daugher in law Tamar (in disguise) and then threw Joseph in the Well to try and cover it up (Gen 37&38).
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

There is no true forgiveness apart from Jesus Christ.
I think this horse has been beat to death. Tiger is in the world and of the world and we should not be looking to him as anything but a lost, rich guy who is at enmity with God, like all non-believers.
I pray that Tiger find the Savior.
Matthew 16:26 (New International Version)
26What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
Looks like this will be one of many commercials…. If it helps other men in the same situation, then it’s a good one. Praying for the Woods family and all families dealing with infidelity.
This is super strange……why would Tiger allow the voice of his beloved and late father to come into this.
I hate this ad. It doesn’t make much sense, doesn’t advertise the product, and doesn’t really explain why Nike still wants Tiger to be the face of their product. It’s a big, fat FAIL as far as advertising goes, IMO.
Hmm, I wonder if I could call a radio station during request and dedications hour and dedicate the song “Womanizer” to Tiger Woods :-D
