I thought this was an interesting list. Manziel was not confirmed when the article was published MARCH 8th so I included a link that confirms him.

Tiger Woods managed to keep his.

Tiger Woods managed to keep his.

He never cheated or did anything illegal

 

[dogbazinho]

Well he did cheat but yeah not at golf.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Pacquiao said something bad about gays. That wasn't anything illegal.

Pacquiao said something bad about gays. That wasn't anything illegal.

He was the lone exception of someone who didn't cheat. But when it comes to endorsements having a homophobe on your roster is much worse than having an adulterer.

Neither is using racial slurs. But would you want a bigot working with/for or associated with you?

tiger woods slept around a bit (a lot)

pacquiao is a bigot

subtle difference, but it is there

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Saying you're against gay marriage is worse than adultery? What?

It's not that he said he was against it, he said gay people are worse than animals because "animals generally do not have same-sex mating"

well, that and his second comment, which was so abhorrent, i won't even honor it by posting it

 

[Belamorte]

I think a big omission is David Duval who lost his by suddenly becoming a lousy PGA player.

What Pacquiao said, could possibly be construed as a hate crime. What Tiger Woods did was terrible, but no where near as bad. Replace what he said about LBGT people with something about people's skin color or religion or something. It's just as bad.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Adultery is actually a crime in some countries. Pacquiao apologized for what he said about humans being worse than animals. He said he doesn't condemn gay people, he's just against gay marriage.

You saying nowhere near as bad is laughable IMO. Tell that to Elin.

i already said that what tiger did was terrible, don't put words in my mouth. but yes, imo anyway, adultery is not as bad as saying that a vast, group of people, in its entirety, should be put to death.
