I myself have two sons and two daughters. And as I told them, just like you said, had he stopped at one indiscretion, you might call it a mistake. But at the same time, I'm not here to judge him. But I am disappointed because I thought he was one of the good guys. David Blaine,

I'm getting a little tired of people defending Tiger in that way (implicitly or explicitly). What Tiger did doesn't fall into the category of making a mistake. If he had stopped at one indiscretion then maybe, but we all know now that it went far, far beyond that. I'm the father of two young boys and what I hope to teach my kids is the fundamental difference between right and wrong. What Tiger did in a very systematic way over an extended period of time to his wife and family was just wrong. Good guys sometimes make mistakes and deserve forgiveness and understanding. But its pretty apparent Tiger isn't one of the good guys.
