Letting Tiger Be Tiger

All this talk about the need for Tiger Woods to speak out and take a stand on certain controversial issues such as Augusta not admitting women seems a bit ridiculous to me. I actually find the fact that Tiger usually limits his public comments to the world of professional golf, in particular to his play, damn refreshing. Do we really another Meryl Streep or Alec Baldwin testifying on issues of the day before a fawning Congress, being allowed to do so solely based on their celebrity status?

I don't really care what Tiger thinks about racial profiling or vouchers. I do care what he thinks about his chances of winning a Grand Slam or how he feels the links at Muirfield will play. How about a little credit to Mr. Woods for keeping it real (sticking to the subjects he really knows about) instead of criticism for not speaking out?
