There is no way that anybody can defend Tiger Woods and claim that these are just "allegations", because Woods has ADMITTED to his "transgressions".
Now, I'd imagine there will be women claiming they had "relations" with Tiger Woods that will be lying, but Tiger has finally admitted he cheated on his wife.
My feeling is what happens in his personal lief is between he and his wife. However, I never understand why celebrities( and Tiger is a celebrity) think they can get away with this type of thing. Especially in the age of the internet, cell phone cameras and shows like TMZ, let alone all the tabloids. Heck, this will probably even be a huge story on ESPN(I don't have cable) since they now have so many station and plenty of time to fill with mindless chatter about the lives of professional athletes.

That are fallible human beings just like everybody else, the only difference is their job puts them in the limelight and enable them to make large sums of money doing something they love. But, I've never understood the whole "role model" thing when it comes to a professional athlete, and being that I'm 42, don;t think I ever will.
