At 30 years old, Tiger Woods has enjoyed 13 years of worldwide celebrity. Recently, he became the first billionaire athlete in sports history. That meant his net worth is over a billion dollars!
But, he learned a valuable lesson yesterday. All the money in the world never changed his color or ethnicity. Black people HAVE to talk to the police when asked to!
He hasn't navigated his way through last weekend's traffic accident controversy. He decided to put off giving complete disclosure to the Florida Highway Patrol despite their three, uninvited appearances at his gated residence.
Understand what I just said. If Woods wasn't REQUIRED to give an interview to authorities BY LAW, then why did the cops come over three times uninvited?
In traffic accidents, drivers are required to provide name, license, registration and proof of insurance period. Woods has provided that. So why are the authorities attempting to get a search warrant for his medical records after the fact?
Tiger probably thought his celebrity would buy him a shield to scrutiny. Well, that shield had holes poked in it because his "alleged mistress" was already exposed. And, authorities didn't believe his facial cuts and lacerations were consistent with a car accident. Was the golf club Tiger's wife used to extricate him, used in an "offensive manner" before the accident?
The story sounded fishy from its outset. For one, he married his golf buddy's nanny. He didn't marry a woman with a powerful career, a rich family behind her or social status. He married a nanny and part-time model. The alleged mistress was a hostess at a New York City nightclub. Apparently, he flew her down for the Australian Open.
Tiger should've come clean when asked THE FIRST TIME. Now, he has hired a six-figure, mouthpiece that won't help him much. His billion-dollar, net worth didn't protect him from a police investigation.
Hopefully, he'll do much better in trying to save his battered reputation.

I'm sick of celebrities who use their status, money and/or connections to get away with crap.
If you break the law, pay up (the fine, not to cover it up).
If you have nothing to hide, then abide by the laws and do what is expected of any citizen.
Did you read the part, "Understand what I just said"? By law, Tiger Woods provided his license, registration and proof of insurance. The accident took place only steps from his private property. He didn't have a wreck in downtown Orlando.
The police came over three times uninvited. They should've not ASKED him for an interview. He should've ordered him to come down because THEY SAID SO. You don't ask or request and then show up on a person's front lawn. The law is the law and Tiger obeyed the law.
It's funny though.
Nick Schuyler was involved in a boating accident months ago. Three men died. Where was the police REQUIREMENT to come down for an interview? Schuyler wasn't a billionaire athlete married to a Swedish model/nanny.
And his incident killed three men. Tiger had a one-car fender bender. Why the pursuit of justice? Shall we say racism? Hmmmmm....
There's no story. There's only fishing. There's only let's "pin the case on another successful, black man". The game is old and tired. Get off of Tiger and harass someone else, TMZ and National Enquirer!
