What if Tiger goes Rogue ?

As the world learns more about the Tiger Woods incident this last weekend, they all wanna know more. Sure enough the causeways that are human avenues of communication, intrigue and idolatry will fill that vacuum. I've golfed about two times and never understood the sport as more than an amusement for incredibly dull people. But I like baseball and they pay those guys a lot too. calvin.jpg

My question is not whether things like infidelity, smashed windows, scratched faces and potential DUI charges are filed. Not whether his endorsements at risk, his swing effected or the squeaky clean image gone. Rather, I wonder whether he will take off the skirt on go all Agassi while he's still top of the heap. That is, just admit that golf is something his dad made him do and now that he's liberated from the burden of expectations, do as some great personalities in history and forge a blazing new path beyond the previous shell of existence that they were before.

Suppose he just kept the window smashed for a few weeks. Started getting brazenly drunk sputtering whatever came to his mind even while the paparazzi still followed him. Pissing on the Nike endorsements and backing Joachim Phoenix's new career as a rapper. All the while still showing up to major events and kicking everyone's ass anyway. That would be a truly GREEEAAAT Tiger.

It's doubtful any of this will happen. His advisers (handlers) and lawyers will protect and re-image him. He'll do Oprah before she calls it quits. He'll donate millions to some worthy cause. Commentators during tournaments on TV will talk solemnly about his recent troubles as he gets one birdie after another. Sports Illustrated will have all the best writers scrambling to adorn their pretty pictures. Ugh.

Tiger is not being persecuted for being a man. Tiger is simply being exposed due to the actions that he brought on all by HIMSELF. He is being exposed as a complete fraud. The whole Mr. Nice Guy, family loving my wife and children stuff was a complete lie. The international world and especially American public are offended. Worst still, Mr. Family Man Tiger has totally exposed his wife and children to sexually transmitted diseases including HIV-AIDS. If Tiger hadn't been caught he would have continued with his contamination. Tiger has nailed himself on the cross--not the public.
