Gatorade

[Martee]

Tiger

No More...

I must admit I am a bit surprised at all the sponsors dropping him. More than I thought would.

I thought the Gatorade thing was done back in November and was not associated with the current mess? But then again, I drink a lot so you can't always go by me.

I've felt all alone that besides Nike, the best business relationship he ever had was with Gatorade. The Woods team will try to downplay this, but this was a huge, huge hit and nothing signifies the depth of the collateral business damage that he's inflicted upon himself more than seeing this company turning their backs on him.

Too, I'm surprised that it took them this long to cut ties, just a little over a week removed from his mea culpa at that. While I didn't find his speech overly moving, I did figure that it would help shore up his remaining sponsors. Apparently that's not the case. Proctor and Gamble CEO said a few days ago that he was unsure of whether or not Woods would ever appear in another Gillette commercial.

I think that most people will eventually move on from this, once he's taken the necessary steps to show that he's learned from his mistakes... and there will most likely be new sponsors at some point down the road. But for now he's got a lot of work ahead of him, in every aspect of his life. I hope he can make things right.

I'd love to see the market research data that has been collected on him...it must be devastating.
None of this surprises me. What the guy did was scandalous and it is a brutally notorious situation that companies simply can't afford to have their brands coupled to. They'd have to pay him a lot of money to keep him in their stable, rather than out for show, until and if this thing blows over. I'm sure the math simply doesn't add up. Dropping him means they are cutting their losses.

Even Nike, who nobody expects to ever drop TW, isn't using him in any of their new "Oven" series of commercials, which should be view as a very telling omission. Maybe Av8tor can give us the inside skinny..I'm assuming that TW participated in shooting those--that they shot them before last Thanksgiving.

And if you go to the Nike golf intergoogle, you have to click around hard to actually see TW anymore.

He can't speak on the subject due to this lawsuit.

What trash talk are you bringing into this?

Only thing I have heard is that we are sticking by TW through this all just like we stuck by DD during all of his health problems. Just as, Nick if what happened to TW ever happens to your son (God forbid) you will also stick by him as well. I am sure we are moving in a direction that both have discussed and agreed to. Nike's relationship with TW is and will always be different that any watch, car, bank or drink drink will ever be.

You lost me Ray. I didn't bring any trash talk to this thread. I posted the link to a thread that you thought was funny.

I'm confused.

I would never talk trash to Ray. I hope you know that. So let me send you kiss

[AV8TOR]

Please take back that kiss picture I was referring to the lawsuit. Maybe I read it wrong but was it my lawsuit (which there is none) against Tiger because of the commercial not playing?

OK, no harm, no foul. I was just joshin' Blader.

Now as for the kiss, well, it does come from the heart you know.

Gwog posted it shortly after you had mentioned that you wouldn't be surfacing in "The Oven" commercials - we were all looking forward to seeing ya' on the tube!

It was a joke, man. Just a joke. I could have sworn you laughed.

[AV8TOR]

Back at you

[Blader]

Now that we cleared that up....Av8tor...did they shoot any "Oven" spots with TW? Just curious, that's all.

They shot several things with him. I was in one but we are never told what they will be used for though.
