Fine, but you never know which sports star is going to become the next Tiger Woods. 2 months ago Tiger was the golden boy; a hero to millions for no other reason than being good at hitting a little ball. You have to assume that all sports stars are one step away from becoming toxic for one reason or another.

Tiger is probably the reason for thousands of parents having to explain to their 8 year olds what infidelity is.

The quality of a person’s character is the best reason for being a role model, and being good at sports says nothing about character. It simply says that person happens to be good at some game.
