The drama of Tiger Woods has almost climax .The script as it has read like many other black athletes before him. They do very well in the athletic area of their choice, made many sacrifices, lots of money and lots of friends.One would say that they achieve the goal that many black people only dream of the money, the big house ,many cars and of course the trophy of marrying a white woman. Many people might not admit that this is the case but most blacks will not hesitate to agree that this is the norm for many black athletes.
I am glad that this chapter of Tiger Woods life is complete my only disappointment is that the divorce judge did not give 90% of Tigers asset to his wife and her children, in that way his slate would be clean for a fresh start and she would be set financially for the rest of her life.
One might say why I come to such conclusion but as I say Tiger would be at a place where he would have to do some gut searching and review his life and what he really wants out of life. What is the legacy that he would like to be remembered for? I hope he is the one who will break the cycle and not end up like OJ Simpson who after being on top of his game where most desire to be ended up being just another black man locked away.
