Nike Comes Through.... Again
Although there still remains speculation on how Tiger got his lips cut up the other nite....some say his lovely little wife did in fact take a 9 iron to his mug as a result of a domestic dispute over another woman.
Other are saying that he did a face plant into the steering wheel or windshield when he hit a fire hydrant and then a tree, because he couldn't sleep that night thinking about the upcoming tourney he was hosting and the problems he has had driving it straight...so he was out practicing bare foot in his escalade!
But, NIKE has once again shown complete support for their prize athlete and have paid for reconstructive lip surgery.
If Michael Phelps can have his mug photoed with a bong up to his mouth and still keep his sponsors, by all means, Tiger should be able to cheat and keep his. I mean, seriously, Bill Clinton did it and there are people out there that still think he's the best president we ever had (they're seriously wrong, but they believe it). We, as the consumers, should choose if we want to support the product or not. My feelings arent' hurt that Nike is backing their star athlete. Then again, I don't buy Nike anyway. I can tell you, though, I refused to buy a box of Kellog's cereal with M. Phelps on the front for the simple fact that the cereal was for my kids. That's my right as the consumer.
ReplyDeleteI saw on CNN that in the 15 days following the car crash, the stock holders of his sponsors lost a combined 12 Billion dollars. WOW!
