The Two Most Popular Athletes In America Are An Accused Sexual Assaulter And A Habitual Cheater
Welcome to the world of American sports where the fans don't seem to care who they admire as long as the person is good at what they do. For the fourth year in a row, a Harris Interactive Poll (.pdf file) has Tiger Woods as the most popular athlete in America. This year though he did have to share the honor with Kobe Bryant.
Really? These are the two most popular? No one could think of anyone better or more deserving of adoration? Instead we picked someone who cheated on his wife with at least 20 women and probably more. Plus, it was way more than 20 times. But, because of that cheating Tiger did drop into the tie with the man who was accused of sexually assaulting a woman, did admit to cheating on his wife who has her own problems with domestic help and I am ashamed. The question was not who is the best athlete. The question was who is your favorite athlete. Maybe because it was a quick poll, people could not think of anyone else, but there has to be a better alternative.
