Although Tiger Woods has admitted to being unfaithful to his wife and causing a huge scandal he is trying to continue his career in golf. Woods participated in the Master's tournament, which was his first event after 5 months. At first I thought that his scandal would affect his golf career and cause less people to support him. However it did quite the opposite; there were 5 million viewers that tuned in to watch Tiger Woods at the Masters Tournament! According to ESPN Wood's thursday night appearance had double the number of viewers who watched the opening round last year! The article compared this to a car crash and how people pull over to look at the car crash. "People want to see how he holds up, they want to see the reaction to him and if he can still play golf."
I feel like this is just one example of a situation that happens to a lot of celebrities. When a celebrity does something bad, everyone (the public) wants to hear about it, so their media coverage increases. Therefore instead of being punished the celebrities are almost rewarded for it their bad behavior.
