Was never despised.


Oh?

Tyson was arrested in July 1991 for the rape of 18-year-old Desiree Washington

Tiger is regaining favor too. I guess I am just a very unforgiving person.

But I also am not the biggest Artest fan right now, and I'm unaware of the hordes of people who love him now.


I remember him being on Jimmy Kimmel and he was infatuated with him. He couldn't stop singing his praises. Wasn't George Foreman hated too?

I'd say there is a good amount of people that never stopped liking Tiger. He did what pretty much all athletes and celebrities do in sleeping around.

I guess since he was a boxer, it only seemed to enhance his image. I'm not saying he was going to be able to run for president or do a guest spot on Barney at the time but he wasn't really despised.

Now Tiger, on the other hand, took a public image beating like I've rarely seen.

It's pretty funny that people consider Tyson guilty but when an athlete today gets accused of rape usually under the same scenario it's always chalked up to a lying woman.
