...::When A Tiger Turns Into A Cheatah
Read how the media helped turn Tiger Woods' image from Good Guy to Gangsta.
Did he just come off the prison yard??
Then read this insightful piece that puts Tiger in a larger media and cultural context. What’s striking about Tiger, the piece says, is the colossal gap "between this golfer’s public image as a paragon of businesslike discipline and focus and the maniacally reckless life we now know he led. What’s equally striking... is that the American establishment and news media... fell for the Woods myth as hard as any fan and actively helped sustain and enhance it."
