Monte51Coleman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Tiger did not lose this because of his personal issues. http://www.cnbc.com/id/34330134 Yes, thank you. I was watching CNBC when they covered the topic. Critics might say that Gatorade is just reacting to the recent news, but industry trade Beverage Digest actually reported the discontinuation of the Gatorade Tiger Focus line on Nov. 25, two days before the accident occurred.

It says that in the OP too. Doesn't people have to believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte51Coleman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 It says that in the OP too.Doesn't people have to believe it. No. It doesn't include the info that it was reported in a trade magazine prior to the accident. People don't have to believe that, you're right. Being a moron is still not against the law. Oh, I forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 This is the one sponsor that should have kept him. Golfers don't need Gatorade, being that they are simply walking around and generally not even breaking a sweat unless it's a particularly hot day. What we now know Tiger was doing does require you to keep hydrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte51Coleman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Tiger has two major endorsements deals with American Express and Accenture. Neither of the two has made any statement about their current relationships, in any way. Those are companies that Tiger should be particularly concerned with.

Elessar78 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I guess you can't blame them. Gatorade is a pretty entrenched brand and I didn't even associate Tiger with it. Good athletes (as sponsors) are a dime and dozen and arguably wtf does a golfer need with Gatorade? BUT it's just as ludicrous for them to drop him. What's the thinking? You see someone drinking gatorade and from their stable of athletes you pick out Tiger? So Gatorade must lead to womanizing? Maybe the notoriety would've been good for the brand.

Bang Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 You are joking right? I never seen Brad Pitt taken to task for anything he did. He was seen as the sexiest man on earth by women. Maybe it's Tiger's teeth, but for some reason women and our society as a whole are not giving him a pass. As for Brad, he is endorsed by every magazine that puts his face on the cover. We condone his actions, but not Tiger's? What is really going on here? And indisgretion can be interpreted in many ways. Plus what is this blonde hair witch part in this whole thing? She couldn't please her man? He should have never married that *****. This whole thing is a sucker's move. I swear america thinks that people do not see the truth behind these actions....it's good for one but not the other, huh? Do you know anyone who looks up to actors? better yet, do you know anyone who doesnt think actors are by and large shallow self centered people? Who respects an actor in the way Tiger has been respected? They don't hold the same positions with their fame. Kids DO look up to Tiger. Don't make it into something it's not. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Dog Night Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I really haven't rooted for Tiger to win a golf tournament in a long time - I'm kind of an underdog guy. So having said that, I hope he wins the 2010 Masters by 14 strokes and gives the old 1 finger salute to all these vulturesque websites As much as I don't condone anyone for cheating on their spouse - it really sucks - I dislike the TMZ's of the world even more. Leeching of someone else's greatness is nothing to be proud of, and I won't ever register a hit on their website. Pretty soon, we'll have Inuit women from Greenland claiming to have slept with Tiger, and TMZ will report it as fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 E-Dog, TMZ reports it because none of the mainline sports outlets will report on it. I'm not sure ESPN has given any play to this story at all, good for them actually but I think it is something newsworthy for other outlets. Tiger Woods is beyond just a regular athlete. Not only is he "Mr. PGA" but he's also a racial barrier breaker. Do you also boycott ESPN, NFL Network and other news outlets that many times have personality driven celebrities? Do you enjoy listening to sports talk radio? All of those outlets also "leech off of celebrities greatness". Heck, even Extremeskins can be considered a website that "leech's off the name of the Redskins". Now of course I don't believe its that TMZ leech's off of celebrities you dislike, its the fact that they feed the idea of celebrities and people as freakshows or creatures whose purpose is to continually entertain us.... or they simply feed those who find celebrity lifestyles entertaining.

You are trying to tell me people didn't look up to John Wayne? People didn't look up to Arnold? It is what it is, and you know it. Why is Tiger singled out? And every man here that has cheated or thought about it needs to get a check up from the neck up. This whole country is a hypocrasy. Are you people serious with this role model ****? And half you busters probably cheated on your wife, and want a bad guy to point the finger at so you feel better, or more human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
