Tiger vs. Taser

Of all the things Tiger has said since his Thanksgiving Day dust-up, his statement that "I don't get to play by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me," just might hold the least amount of truth. Inquiring minds are starting to unravel what happened in the aftermath of the much publicized car crash. Subpoenas were requested and denied by the powers that be, leaving it all for tabloid fodder. An excerpt from a book detailing the fallout surrounding the incident can be found here. It's no surprise that this information is in direct contradiction with Tiger's statement above.

Compare this treatment to that of a 17-year old who ran onto the field during a Phillies home game, and was tasered by police for doing so. There's no defending the fan's actions, but the taser seems excessive. Here's a video of the incident, it appears that the boundaries certainly applied to this kid:
