Tiger Woods

Here's my question about Tiger Woods and other so called role models....When people do stupid things, i.e., like cheat on their wives with a numerous women, use racial slangs when arrested for drunk driving or just use poor judgement that results in
bad behaviors, they always use addiction or abuse as an excuse? In Tiger's Woods situation, is he a sex addict or opportunist? Actually I don't care that he cheated on his wife. Just don't tell the world that you did it because you're a sex addict. I truly think that Tiger Woods just plain cheated on his wife because he could, and he did it as often as possible until his wife busted him upside the head with a nine iron.

What about Mel Gibson? He was arrested for drunk driving and then he proceeded to use racial slangs while practically falling out of his car. And what his excuse? "I'm an alcoholic". Racist, drunk or both. I don't really care.

So now they all go into rehab to clean up their images and all will be great with the world again. Tiger Woods will recover from this and in a year from now, he will be back on top of the world with his forgiving wife, beautiful children, the sponsors and the media at this feet.

The world will be his oyster.

Ask Mel Gibson. Beside the whole drunken tirade bit, he later cheated on his wife (married over 20 yrs w/adult children) and had a child out of wedlock (after he claimed that he's a devout Catholic). But his image is fine.

I'm not sure what lessons this teaches the world...but I know this certainly encourages me not to let Hollywood or any athlete become my children's role model. That's my job!
