This article writes about how Tiger Woods still has a huge fan following despite all the controversy he has been associated with. Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago at Bay Hill in Florida and is now getting ready to compete at the Masters. Despite the fact that woods has fallen out of the top 50 ranked golfers in the world in the last two years, many are predicting a comeback for the former long-time number one golfer. One fan stated "whether you love him or hate him, the sport needs him."
I think this article uses a lot of logical appeal to make its point. I believe superstars are needed in every sport and Tiger Woods is definitely still a superstar in my opinion. There are plenty of superstar athletes that have been forgiven by fans for things they did off the playing field. In my opinion this isn't how it always should be but sports fans tend to forget the things athletes do off the playing field because they get caught up in the excitement they experience while watching them perform.
