As a woman who was involved in the sports world — working as a nanny for golfer Jesper Parnevik for almost 4 years before her marriage to Tiger Woods – how is it that Elin Nordegren was so unaware about infidelity and the game?
Is a wife always the last to know or the last to admit that it could happen to her?
Lemondrop asked the pointed question just last year:
“When former NFL star Steve McNair was shot to death by his 20-year-old mistress, his wife and mother of his four children claimed she knew nothing about his infidelity. But after reading The Secret Code of Sports Mistresses, which quotes a CNN statistic that 80 to 90 percent of pro athletes cheat, we wonder if any woman could be totally ignorant of the possibility.”
