Wow. I seem to be in the minority here. Okay, think about it this way. Say you are a soldier stationed in Iraq for two years. You come home and find out that your wife is in deep yogurt. Really serious trouble. Which of these two alternatives would upset you more:
1) She ran a dog fighting club and was responsible for a dozen pit bulls getting killed; or
2) Your wife had multiple affairs, screwing a dozen different guys over the past couple of years. Without condoms. Some of the guys were male prostitutes. And stories about it appeared in every newspaper in your town and every website you read.
I would be more angry with #2.
Only won of them broke the law!!!!
The public shame that tigger has caused his family and his friends is immense but I don't what he did broke any laws and he wasn't charged and sent away for doing anything wrong.
He was probably under the influence of drugs when he left his house and crashed his car but he wasn't charged with a serious crime on that. So in terms of breaking the law and doing worse, you would have to say that Mike Vick did much worse but tigger is guilty of having no morals. Not a crime in my opinion. He has to deal with the damage to his marriage but no jail time.
Ahhh, morals versus the law. Not always so clear.
Consider a guy sitting on a park bench who passively watches a toddler wander away from her mother, fall into the fountain and drown. But the guy does nothing to save the toddler. The guy would not break any law, but would certainly have questionable morals. But if that same guy walked his dog through the park without bothering to clean up his dog’s poop, well then he would be a lawbreaker, although not necessarily an immoral person.
Even though Vick broke laws and served jail time, I still think Tiger’s actions were worse because the people Tiger hurt most were his own family. But that's just my own opinion.
