David Beckham and Tim Tebow Are Most Cheat-Worthy Athletes in New Poll

Which athletes would drive a married woman to cheat? The answer abundantly seems to be David Beckham first, with Tim Tebow coming up second. 

Jimmy Traina, who writes the Hot Clicks column for Sports Illustrated, has some interesting numbers when it comes to hopeful adulterers and the athletes with whom they wouldn't mind canoodling. 

The June 27 edition of Hot Clicks features a section Traina titles "Speaking of Cheaters." That's where he delivers some statistics provided by the "discreet" dating site Ashley Madison, for married people wanting to spread their wings and cheat. 

The question asked of these consenting adults was simple. They had 13,500 women sound off on which athlete they would "most likely cheat on their husband with."

Here is the breakdown: 

"

"David Beckham was the winner...with 43.1 percent of the votes. The man, the myth, the legend, Tim Tebow, came in second with 19.6 percent, while Tom Brady...rounded out the top three at 17.9 percent. The rest of the top 10 looks like this: Derek Jeter (16.5 percent), Alex Rodriguez (13.2 percent), Christiano Ronaldo (11 percent), Michael Phelps (10.5 percent), Peyton Manning (9.6 percent), Aaron Rodgers (9.5 percent), Kelly Slater (9.2 percent). Tiger Woods came in 15th (6.1 percent)."

"

The numbers total more than 100 percent because the ladies were asked to give their top three, so the total is based on 300 percent, according to Traina. 

Interesting that a family man like Beckham leads the way, while a humble man of God like Tebow comes in second. 

There is something to be said for wanting what can't be had. 

Of course, Beckham has had his fair share of adulterous rumors, but there is hardly a more tight-knit sports family than the Beckhams. 

Consider how ridiculously famous they are, and it seems rather amazing they have managed to carve out a semi-private life. 

Tebow, of course, is the last man you would think would feature in an adulterous affair. 

Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Cristiano Ronaldo are no-brainers. But Peyton Manning? Am I missing something, ladies?

I will go ahead and say Tiger Woods makes the list based on sheer access. I am interested to hear your thoughts on who made the top 10 and who was left out.
