If you were the richest most well known athlete in the world, you would remain faithful and true? Hell nah. I wouldn't have gotten married though, or would have married someone who didn't care if I cheated.
You explain his actions as "liking women a little too much?"
I was going to write this in the Mayweather/Pacquiao thread but forgot so I'll just write it here.
There's some irony to the fact that Pacquiao and Tiger's game respectively has dropped in the last few years. When Pacquiao was cheating on his wife, drinking, gambling, etc. he was destroying every opponent in the ring. It's only in the last 2-3 years when he became a converted Born-Again Christian that he started slowing down and dominating less.
The same for Tiger. When he was cheating on his wife with 50 mistresses, guy was winning tournaments and winning majors. After he got caught, had to deal with the stress of the public image, etc. his game dropped off. He's seemed to hit a huge mental block since then on the golf course, not converting shots he was sinking with ease years ago.
Now I'm not endorsing they gotback to those lifestyles, Tiger probably can since he "broke-up" with Lindsay, but both athletes had a certain edge to them. Guys like them who are in physical peak shape in their respective sports must have testosterone through the roof. Even some of the media darlings who we perceive as good guys like Steve Nash have been caught cheating on their wives too.
One can say it's age catching up to them, but Mickelson is still winning majors or at least finishing near the Top past 40, Mayweather is 38 and still in pretty decent shape. Bonds, Kobe, even our very own Chipper. There's something about being an elite athlete in your sport, and the ego it allows you to have to get to sleep with all of these women.
