Twenty years ago this week, Tiger Woods won the Masters -- at a place that has decades of racism. The co-founder of August National, Clifford Roberts, once said, "As long as I'm alive, golfers will be white, and caddies will be black." So Woods' win was met with predictions about how Tiger would change the world -- off the course, as much as on. His own father predicted that Tiger would be bigger than Gandhi. Turns out, Tiger is more interested in passing his hours playing video games.
Our panel discusses whether it's fair to expect athletes and entertainers to become agents of social change. Did Tiger have a responsibility to do more? Should we care? Our guests:
- Mohammed Ahamed, director of the Nazareth College Office for Diversity and Inclusion
- Chris Thompson, engineer and social activist
- Irene Kannyo, creator, executive producer and co-host of No Labels Included on WAYO 104.3
