[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 326090"] I kinda agree with- what my professor says about it all (see below). The fact that since his line of work doesn't really have anything specifically to do with- integrity, etc....this should not be such a huge issue. That one could make an argument for that if we were talking about a high ranking gov't official, it would be more of an interest, since honesty and integrity is more important to many people in this arena. But...it does not apply to golf. And that those overly concerned about it might be worried about their own problems and this provides a distraction. I agree...I think a healthy thought would be basically some disappointment that he behaved in this way, but also hope that he and his wife could work this out (esp. since they have children) and that he would learn a personal lesson, grow from the experience and change. And of course, that his career would remain intact. That's about it....no more... [U]The Power of the Media[/U] HOWEVER, last night was also thinking that the media has A LOT to do with this.
