Tiger's Official Statement+Elin Still Looks Suspect

Nov 30 | by Natasha

While Tiger Woods is now claiming full responsibility for the "minor car accident" that took place a few nights ago, he and his wife Elin Nordegren are still hiding from the Florida Highway Patrol and canceling meetings with the cops. Here's the statement Tiger just posted today on his official website:

As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore. This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again. This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible. The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false. This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.

Interesting. Especially because FHP reportedly went to Tiger's home for the umpteenth time today for another scheduled meeting, and the couple turned them away...again. Some media sources are reporting it's because the scratches on Tiger's face are indeed from Elin and cops will be able to determine the human made marks from "car accident" marks. There was also no blood in the car even though Tiger was found with blood all over his face post-accident. Who knows how all this is going to turn out...but methinks there's some guilty covering up going on...

First of all, the FHP have no

First of all, the FHP have no legal right to speak to Tiger. Although I believe they are hiding info, they do not have to talk to the authorities, at least, these authorities. The FHP have no authority once an interview needs to be conducted outside of a traffic scene. Their job is the highway, once you have to schedule an interview, it is the local police dept responsibility. They are overstepping their bounds so I can a jurisdictional war brewing between the two agencies.

LaLa: Well in Tiger Woods

LaLa: Well in Tiger Woods case he is MORE ASIAN than he is African American. I see that most of you fail to realize that! His father is only half, that makes Tiger 1/4. He is Multiracial so accept it and stop just trying to make him be just African American as if he has to choose 1 Race. that may be true, however, when he walks out the door he is seen as a Black man. there is nothing wrong with embracing your heritage, but it is foolish to think that when the world sees him as anything other another Negro. there is a way to balance those two world, and i think Tiger's lesson may be coming, or will soon be cemented.

"I guess Tiger’s woman is Black, after all. She beat the hell out of his cheating butt and the car is effed up, too. LOLOLOLOLOL" I hate when Black people make a mockery of themselves. You are stereotyping Black people as violent aggressors, and then you get mad when White people stereotype you that way.

and so what if the world sees

and so what if the world sees him as Black. At some point the world saw Black people as monkeys, did that make it so? NO! The man is at least biracial. You expect him to disrespect his own mother by claiming he is Black, as if her heritage didn't contribute to him being who he is ... Just b/c White people invented this stupid one drop rule, does NOT mean everybody has to subscribe to it. Some Black people are so brainwashed. A person can be proud of every bit of who they are.

You don't say no shit like that after getting into a SINGLE car accident, bitch please...Props to the wife for keeping it real and chasing his ass with golf clubs - all my sistas out there recognize that she did EXACTLY what we would've done. So don't give me that white girl shit. Then chicks from switzerland or sweden (or wherever the hell she's from) are GANGSTA! Secondly, the Woods don't need to talk to the police- this was an in house incident and they have no legal rights except for being nosy..real talk

Two Words: COVER UP ... I

Two Words: COVER UP ... I don't know why black ignorant people want those who are multiracial to claim one specific race - how ignorant that is why racism is alive and still breathing life in this country - you all allow and continue the victimization knowingly. My family members who are multiracial choose to accept every part of who they are not just one and I'm sure Tiger has - Cablanasian - means he has Caucasian, Black and Asian in his genes - you people need to get over your stupidity. The fact of the matter is that you are not angry that he denied, i.e. according to you all, that he is black - the problem is that he married a white woman which solidified your thoughts on his dislike for himself - which is has never outrightly stated and I doubt ever thought b/c his daddy is half black and half-white but referred to as black according to American society standards. GET A LIFE PEOPLE and use common sense please I;m begging you all.

I just came from watching

I just came from watching MSNBC, and it DOES fall under the jurisdiction of the FHP (Florida State Troopers). If there was 'nothing' to investigate, like 'only' an unfortunate accident, then they'd be no 'story,' but, as the msnbc piece, I just watched said, the FHP might have grounds for charging someone, obviously HER! If they see scratches on HIS face, as they did, and if it's from her doing, which it obviously is, then they CAN investigate and file charges! Which is seems,as though, they are! But the obvious questions arise: 1.)Will he be forced to testify. 2.)Can they proceed with charging her,and prosecution without HIS cooperation, as per Fla law? So wow, I wonder what a certain young man in Tappahannock Va. will have to say 'bout this? I mean, the irony just reaches as far and has high as the eye can see: two ultra-clean young men at the top of their respective games; now the BS and drama. It'll be interesting to see, since it DOES seem like FHP will arrest and pursue prosecution, as Tiger's noncooperation will ONLY make them come harder, will he NOW 'find his blackness?' Didn't MJ, when trouble found him, showed up, at court with the Nation of Islam by HIS side as protection? Given 'Chrianna Feb 8th' I DO hope they arrest and pursue Elin's prosecution! I hope TMZ 'goes in' as they did with Chris and takes Tiger down a peg,or two, or three.... I hope FHP goes and forces the mistress to 'tell all,' by whatever legal means necessary. And finally, I hope Elin's actions, ALL of 'em, become known, it's then and only then will we get 'insight' into 'Chrianna Feb 8th' and Rhianna's actions! AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!!

Oh Tiger. We are so well

Oh Tiger. We are so well versed in PR spin nowadays we can read between the lines and this does not sound like a simple fender bender. If it was why the need to plead for privacy so profusely, I mean we've all had scrapes in our cars??? I too fear Tiger got busted or at least there was enough to make Elin suspicious so she acted on it. I don't condone violence but if there is truth in the rumours I know if I had just given birth to my second child and my husband humiliated me by playing around I too would lash out.

The story is so sad. Tiger is covering up for his Wife BEATer Elin. I know many guys who get abused mentally and emotionally by there ladies and they never come out and say anything. DOMESTIC violence is huge in the world and it goes both ways. Elin should be ashame. Tiger should be ashame as well. ONCE again, just because they are celebs doesnt mean they arent HUMAN.

I mean, sitting on MY couch, in MY HOME I saw the look of disappointment, embarrassment and eventually the uncomfortable chuckle his father made! I'd never thought I'd say this, but GO TMZ GO!!!!

The difference between him and OJ is if he was to do something wrong or someone was to do something to him, he WILL NOT have the black community's support as u can tell by the comments. We are waking the hell up and I'm so glad. Let them white, asian or whatevever the hell these black men like to fuck support their asses. Tiger "Nigger" Woods Lap Dog of a wife turned on his ass. Something i'm sure he thought would never happen he like other men in his situation are used to their little Lap Dogs staying put but this time he got a surprise and the Lap Dog bit his ass. Now he’s covering for her if he would’ve whooped her ass she wouldn’t cover for him, she’ll be somewhere playing the victim and whitey would be getting ready to LYNCH Tiger’s ass. Lynch, Lynch Lynch away. Ha ha ha ha ha!!

If Rhianna can get away with starting the drama of Feb 8th, Elin SHOULD get away with laying Tiger's silly azz out on the street in front of HIS house with HIS kids, no doubt, watching! But I wonder if, and when, the sh-it get's thick, is he gonna come running to black folk? And are WE gonna be fools enough to accept HIM back? Are we THAT needy to forgive everyone who disowns us? The marriage was one thing (HUH), but going on National TV and disowning your heritage, with your BLACK fahter sitting RIGHT beside you.....for me, THAT is UNFORGIVEABLE! ....And the survey says: "The Tom gets NO love!"

I acknowledge that Tiger is a great golf player but other than that don't really care for him. But just wow that there maybe more to this fishy story. Now lets see if the media blow his wife spot up the way they went in on Chris Brown if this is indeed true. I bet they sweep this so far under the rug you will never even know it happened. It happens all the time with them. They get to constantly get away with things while we are made to suffer until we fade into obscurity. And for the record everyone knows regardless if you have any black in you they consider your behind to be just that BLACK and there aint no amount of hiding it that can take away that fact.
