In the strongest terms possible I am not lumping Tiger Woods with the Peterson situation except in one way I will mention a little latter. Ray Rice is the better comparison to Peterson and not Tiger.

There are a lot more people that have a problem with what the two running backs did than what Tiger did. In Peterson's case he disciplined his child in such a way that the State of Texas felt the need to get involved because Peterson broke a state law as far as I remember.

Ray Rice and that video, that did not show everything by the way, also had committed a criminal crime but he got off by marrying the person he did the act to.

Now Tiger did some property damage, involving a fire hydrant and some trees mostly that was his neighbors, around the time of Thanksgiving in 2009. Tiger was ticketed for reckless driving for this incident. But I am pretty sure there was no acts of violence, when I think about it there could have been, involved or we would have heard it in the news for sure.

The last thing I want to mention is that all three of these athletes most certainly had their public image changed by the incidents I have mentioned. But as I mentioned Tiger's situation is very different to me than the other two situations.
