T WTiger Woods apologized on his website regretting his "transgressions".

He claims his "right to some simple, human measure of privacy". He continues saying that "the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions".

I have sympathy with his view although the public (often morbid) curiosity and the business generated by these kind of news makes them void statements. What I do not understand personally is why he and other public persons in similar situations have to blame themselves publicly for what they have done recognizing it was a mistake with statements such as: "I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves." "I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves."

It is clear that they are saying this only because their affairs have become publicly known. It should have been probably better to be silent on the repentance issue.
