Tiger Woods should be castrated

~

Writing in Britain's "The Independent" in UK, Brian Viner seems to suggest that Tiger Woods should be castrated.

Of course it only seems that way if you squint at the article in the correct manner.

He's talking about horse racing of course and notes that many of the most famous stars of the sport were in fact geldings.

If you think about the mechanics of jumping over fences you'll realize why there aren't that many stallions in that part of it that does go over fences.

The comparison with Tiger Woods comes in when he points out that horses can't and don't disappoint us in the way that human sports stars sometimes do: cocaine, sex, drink, gambling, they're prone to the human vices just as much if not more than others.

Sometimes it seems as if we'd prefer our human sports stars to be geldings. I don't condone the way Tiger Woods has behaved but epic promiscuity in the world of sport is nothing new.
