For all I know, a good percentage of elite athletes ARE faithful. I dunno - maybe Tom Lehman and Kenny Perry cat around, but somehow I don’t think they do.
But yeah, given the opportunities presented, as well as having been treated their whole lives as tho the rules don’t apply to them, I sure imagine infidelity is higher among athletes and entertainers - especially those that travel regularly - than us regular folk.
And throw in the fact that professional athletes are natural-born risk takers.
I wish people would stop saying this stupid meme. It has almost no basis in reality. In most cases it’s exactly the opposite, they are usually under far more scrutiny than most.
I dunno. I would imagine that athletes and celebrities sleep around more than other people, because being famous and wealthy gives one greater opportunities; but being a poor nobody certainly doesn’t stop some guys I know from doing the same …
Well, your experience is considerably different from mine. Can’t count the number of times I saw special rules applied to athletes in high schools and college. I guess I imagined it continued at the most elite level, but you seem to feel otherwise.
And I am very comfortable in my belief that immense wealth confers significant privileges as well.
No, I think that there are several reasons:
“Regular” people like to see that superstars are human too. They like to see that the celebrities can make pretty dumb choices, too. I am not entirely sure why, but they like to see that nobody’s perfect.
Some folks like to see the uber rich or powerfull actually reap the consequence of their actions once in a while.
Some folks live boring lives, and are titulated by other’s misfortunes, especially when they are self inflicted.
This whole thing is nice, I always had great respect for Tiger’s playing ability but the non-stop slurping has always annoyed me. With any luck people will back off that a little and I can cheer for him again. I’ve always enjoyed cheering for people who have had a little trouble in their life, even if it is self-inflicted.
Also, I just listened to the message on the cocktail waitresses answering machine (it was on TV so I don’t really have a link) and it was really quite funny. It’s nice to see that Tiger is just like the rest of us - and I mean that sincerely. I can honestly imagine myself making that exact same phone call.
There is a sick male part of me that is also pleased that Tiger is taking advantage of his fame…boy I hope I’m never famous, I’d be a horrible human being.
You a bookie, doll? Third woman surfaces. It’s a little shifty to place the number at 3.5, but you bookies…
re: Hedging bets, who knows, Tiger might have a hermaphrodite fetish. Or girls that are height challenged.
What will Nike’s new slogan be?
Just Don’t Do it or Just Do Her ?
He should change his name to Cheetah.
I’m going to have to agree with this - elite athletes get away with things that would have your average Joe in jail, facing serious charges, for another example of their special treatment. You and I get caught doing illegal drugs, we’re likely to go to jail. An elite athlete gets caught, he gets a rap on the knuckles and maybe a fine from his league. The idea that these guys think they can do as they please makes perfect sense to me.
Just don’t be stupid and get married or become “exclusive” with one girl. Build a rep as a “bad boy” and you’ll have a near limitless amount of women that get off on knowing you already have been with a ton of girls before her.
My life is my cite. 
And to be marginally on topic, Tiger really should change his name to Cheetah. That would be awesome.
At this point, my money would be on the over. Payday has arrived! Rachel must be regretting her denial now. She’s already been bumped to ho #3.
Classic.
Don’t read this article if you are a Tiger Woods Fan.
More tasteless Tiger jokes (not mine):
Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole in one.
Tiger Woods wasn’t seriously injured in the crash, but he’s still below par.
What were Tiger Woods and his wife doing out at 2.30 in the morning? They went clubbing
Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron.
Perhaps Tiger should be using a driver?
This is the first time Tiger’s ever failed to drive 300 yards
Apparently, Tiger admitted this crash was the closest shave he’s ever had. So Gillette has dropped his contract.
After a wayward drive, Tiger Woods found water before nestling behind a tree
Apparently, the only person who can beat Tiger Woods with a golf club is his wife
The African-American in him bought the Escalade and the Asian in him crashed it
Ah yes, the oh so predictable “and I never liked him anyway” column from some nobody. Who gives a crap?
I heard Phil Mickelson called Elin on her cell phone today. He wanted to ask her how to beat Tiger.
Eldrick?
