Clemens and Woods both admitted that what they had done was wrong, apologized and have since shown themselves to be good men.
Yet, the only that has been truly vilified is Woods. WHY? Because he was a great golfer? Because he’s so rich? Because he didn’t fawn to the crowds? Because he was young and of mixed race? Sorry, I don’t get it and truly would like to know what he has done to be so vilified. Even an admitted rapist doesn’t get this type of vitriol.
