Tiger Woods: Is He Deserving of Our Sympathy?

Lately, the Tiger Woods drama only seems to be multiplying. His nagging knee problem has left many people questioning Tiger's game, mentality and heart. 

Most people point to his downfall last year as the source of all evil and refuse to forgive Tiger. He has gone from the superman of golf to the villain. People have finally started to realize that Tiger is a self-centered, arrogant (I say confident) and disrespectful person.

That means he has emotions, and those emotions are very much strong. He isn't a good public speaker, much like the rest of the world.

There's plenty more faults I could assault Tiger for verbally, but let's face it: He's no superhuman. In fact, he's about as human as th...
