Pimpin' Aint Easy


"Pimpin' aint easy, but it's necessary," the famous quote by Ice Cube, Tiger Woods knows what he's talking about. Tiger Woods used to be one of my favorite athletes, up there with Casey Hampton and Evgeni Malkin. But after his wife bashed in the back window of his SUV on Nov. 27 2009 because she found out about his 10+ mistresses, he was only solidified at the top of my favorite athletes list.

What's not to love about Tiger? He portrays what every man wants to be. He golfs all day, He brings millions and millions of dollars, and he gets as many women as he wants. Sounds pretty sweet, right? Well he does have to deal with not only the loss of thousands of fans but also the loss of his high paying endorsements like Gillette and Gatorade, but at least Nike is staying strong and supporting Tiger, the new Just Do It campaign is just way too fitting.
Something To Think About

The next time you judge an athlete after a scandal like Tiger's erupts, try to see the situation from both sides of the spectrum. I'm not saying that Tiger is innocent, but the tabloids blow things like these way out of proportion.
