NBA's Artest: "Tiger the Perfect Role Model"
Ron Artest, of the Lakers, Tuesday pledged his support for Tiger Woods saying he was "the perfect role model for his sons..." Really? My question is a role model for who, aspiring porn stars. Artest has had his own personal problems in the past and my guess is, Woods makes him feel better about himself. The fact is, before any of us were ever aware of Woods off the course escapades, I never saw him as a role model. Not for my son. The truth is, Tiger never conducted himself on the course in a way I was comfortable with. Swearing, spitting, throwing clubs and dropping F-bombs. Not exactly reminiscent of loved golf personalities like Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. I understand that Woods is not the only athlete to pervade these undesirable attributes I have mentioned. That is why the message sent to our kids should be to "play like Mike" not "be like Mike".

Ron Artest's stance is nothing more than Tiger's a brother, and a brother can do no wrong! Wonder where all the white athletes stand on this issue? NO!! Where do the Professional Golfers stand on this issue? I haven't seen much from them....wonder why? Notice how on ESPN, or any other sport talk/show, there isn't a professional golfer representing their sports view on Tiger? All I've seen is a black man sportswriter or athlete, that has and never has nothing to do with the sport golf!!! WHY!?!??!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Ron Artest is correct in saying Tiger is "the perfect role model for HIS sons." Compared to Ron Ron Tiger is a saint!!!
