The issue is not that Tiger Woods is a role model, rather that by selling his face, his name and his endorsement, he has basically sold himself to the public's scrutiny. Having done so, he should not contend that something such as this accident is not the business of the public. Whether it is or not, when he signed on the dotted line for all those bucks, he also signed for all these prying eyes. No one was digging up his mistresses until he ran over the fire hydrant.
