Say it ain’t so! First John Lewis, now Tiger?

In fairness, while I tend not to believe Tiger’s story, the teacher did wait 5 years after the book was published, to refute the story, and just happened to do it at a time when all sorts of people are crawling out of the woodwork with Tiger stories. Because of that, I’m not sure who to believe.

This is the type of thing that can easily be fact-checked, if anyone really cares. He didn't grow up in 1950s Alabama ... the sort of incident he describes would have made the news and potentially the courts.

The teacher's delay makes sense to me.

The media would have covered up for Tiger and, she would have reason to believe, attacked her. I recall how the media fawned over Tiger. And if you cry racism, there is a special sympathy expressed by the media.

Also, she might not have wanted to get involved. Here is the most wonderful man in the world, beloved by the media, and he is super rich. Finally, as he was exposed, she just had enough.
