* Tiger Woods is entitled to his privacy (“I’m a Cheetah,” Dec. 3).
However, it was Woods himself who breached that privacy by hooking up with women who were obviously willing to sell him out.
The firestorm around him can be attributed to his own hubris, wealth and fame.
Like so many other high-profile men before him, he thought he was different and entitled enough to cheat without consequences — but there are always consequences.

* Thursday’s cover, “I’m a Cheetah,” is one of the vilest, crudest and underhanded low-blows ever landed on a public figure — and probably the funniest cover ever in the history of journalism.
I just couldn’t stop laughing. Keep up the good work.

* What is equally despicable are the women who got themselves involved with a man who they knew was married and had young children.
In the secular world of “do whatever makes you feel good,” it is always the innocent (the children) who get hurt.
There are plenty of single men around. Why do these women participate in the destruction of a family?

* Woods has attained fame for his golfing exploits, not for his private life.
Those who have set him upon a pedestal for his contributions to the sport of golf should not be the first to express dismay at his admitted shortcomings in his personal life.
Let those golf enthusiasts who have enjoyed watching him play concentrate on that aspect of his career rather than criticize him for his ethical and moral lapses, so frequent among our athlete superstars.

* We have soldiers dying on foreign soil, with 30,000 more going into battle, and what’s repeatedly on the cover of my Post? A story about the spoiled, whining Woods.
When this jerk’s sex life makes the news, it’s time to stop reading the papers.

* Woods used to be a wealthy sports figure who had it all. Now he’s just another sports figure with a lot of money and nothing else.

* I’m saddened by what’s happened to the pristine image Woods once had. He was such a great role model for America’s youth.
Many people appear to take great pleasure in seeing celebrities toppled from their pedestals. These same people must have such low self-esteem that it makes them feel better about their own miserable existence.

* It turns out Tiger Woods is more Don Draper than Jack Nicklaus.
Sports journalists must be shaking their heads. Here is a guy who controlled all aspects of his professional life and would not trust the media, yet would text, call and “hang out” with women far less private and trustworthy.
I thought Woods was smarter.

* With all the real news in this country, including the two wars and the economy in the toilet, Woods remains the focus of the media.
This doesn’t give me confidence about our media’s ability to report “real” news or our ability as Americans to pull ourselves out of this recession.

* Woods is an icon for the ages, both in the game of golf and beyond.
The sexual indiscretions of a premier athlete have long been part of the sporting universe. Woods cannot and should not be judged morally based on the issue of infidelity when monogamy has never been part of the inherent world of sports.
It seems very few athletes can avoid its trappings of privilege and fame. At the end of the day, how many of us can boast of being faithful to our partners in both body and soul?
