The Worldwide Leader

The ESPN-brand sportsticker says: "Tiger Woods to apologize for his behavior."

This sets a good example for the kids:  you fuck around on your wife, you say you're sorry to the media.

Hopefully ESPN itself will set a good example with a similar courtesy: 

• Thank you Tiger, for giving us more ratings, as we exposed kids to the idea of a serial-philandering father.  
• Thank you Tiger, for giving us more ratings, as our dullard commentators condemned you for being a bad role model.  
• Thank you Tiger, for giving us more ratings, as we air your apology for being a bad role model.  
• We forgive you.

But as a member of the public, I'm still left to wonder, how do I explain to my (rhetorical) kids why I give a shit about any of this?

 

Is "the potential to be a good mugger" now a part of the alpha-male checklist?
