Mickey Mantle? Frank Sinatra?
players and loved for their playing. Tiger created an image that he couldn’t live up to.

Compare and contrast with Wilt Chamberlain. Nobody really cares about Wilt Chamberlain never marrying and sleeping around.
Tiger’s ultimate crime in the court of public opinion is being a phoney. If he never married and carried himself about in the very same manner, nobody really would care.

Millions and millions of kids had Roy and Dale as role models. You are apparently too young to realize what an influence they had on kids of the 40’s and 50’s. Roy would not do things that might have a negative influence on his fans. How many actors do that today?
