Tiger Woods SNL Skit Gets Backlash From Domestic Violence Groups
Saturday Night Live recently aired a clip that has since become controversial because of its depiction of Tiger Woods' wife as an abusive spouse who takes out her anger on Tiger Woods between press releases. Here's what some Domestic abuse proponents had to say:
“Saturday Night live” is facing criticisim for a sketch about the Tiger Woods scandal that seemed to make fun of domestic violence. The main problem — the musical guest on the show was Rihanna, herself a high-profile victim of domestic violence.In an article titled “‘SNL’ Lampoons Alleged Violence in Tiger Woods’ Marriage,” the website PopEater wrote: It was another sketch that gave us pause.” We think, had the genders been reversed, ‘SNL’ wouldn’t make light of the potentially violent situation.
While another site said this:
The Tiger Woods SNL skit may have been funny, but only because we’ve trained ourselves to believe that the bounds of chivalry imply that a cheating man deserves whatever punishment he receives. Sorry my friends, it’s not that simple: women know how to kill too and abuse is not acceptable no matter who distributes the violence.
If Elin tried to hit Tiger with that golf club, she should be going to jail. If Tiger were taking a 9-iron to Elin’s head,we wouldn’t want to hear any explanations. No matter how you slice it, stroke it, or hook it, the Tiger Woods SNL skit was fundamentally flawed and irresponsible. Reckless violence should never be rewarded, even on Saturday Night Live.

Of course there's a double standard. A tiny woman waling away on a big man with anything is unlikely to do much damage, unless she sneaks up behind him or tee's off on him when he's asleep. If every women that slapped a man or threw an ashtray, cup, etc. at his head were charged with a crime... As for comedy, nothing should be out of bounds. Comedians point out the absurd reality of truth, e.g. Chaplin's The Great Dictator.
