AT&T Is Latest to End Tiger Woods Sponsorship

[Will E Worm]

AT&T Inc. said Thursday it would no longer sponsor Tiger Woods, joining Accenture in dropping support for the world's top golfer, who's taking a break from the sport to focus on his marriage after his admitted infidelity.

The phone company hasn't used Woods' image extensively in advertising, but its logo appeared on his golf bag. That deal had been billed as a "multiyear" agreement when it was signed early in 2009, after Buick ended its endorsement one year early because of its financial woes.

Woods has also been the host of the AT&T National PGA Tour event since it started in 2007. Tour spokesman Ty Votaw said that since Woods is on indefinite leave from professional golf, he will not serve as host for the 2010 event. However, his Tiger Woods Foundation will continue to be the beneficiary of the AT&T National, under a contract that runs through 2014, Votaw said.

AT&T said it would continue to sponsor the event.

Soon we won't be hearing anything about him.

Now if we could do that to a few other people. Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Charlie Sheen, Tom Cruise, and a few others.

Whatcha got against Lance Armstrong, Will E?

I'm tired of him and his one testicle.

Watch the beginning of George Carlin's last performance.

The term "hate groups" has to go as well. The only hate groups are the one's trying to take away someone's rights or freedom of speech.

Yeah, Tiger is probably strapped for cash now. I'm sure he'll just be wasting away on the one billion dollars he already accumulated during his career. This isn't even a setback to him. Don't worry, eventually he'll be back where he should be: playing golf. And when he does, watch out. Tiger 2.0 won't be taking any prisoners. That's going to be one focused predatory cat.

Who cares?! Golf's boring as FUCK anyways!

Charlie Sheen has some issues. He'd better get his shit together. If I was Martin I'd bust his ass. Oh...and Mike Jackson is dead btw.

 

[HELLRAISER]

Fuck AT&T

Sheen better clean his act up or he will be out of work.

MJ might be dead, but I still have to hear about him too much.

Memo to Tiger;

Life's ups and downs, first you're up then you're down....make 2 lists..who your friends were and who they now are and keep it tucked in your wallet.:2 cents:

 

[MILF Man]

Fuck Tiger Woods and good for AT&T! :thumbsup:

Exactly. Others sponsors will step in to take their places when he is kicking ass once again. Nike golf(which Tiger singlehandedly created) is his biggest sponsorship gig & I doubt very seriously if they shun him.

The complete self righteousness/hypocrisy I see in this country during incidences like this is mind boggling.

Not airing Tiger Woods commercials ,but Flava Fav has a nationwide commercial campaign :dunno:

This won't last long. Sooner or later they will all come back to him. Take a look at Boris Becker and Franz Beckenbauer

People have short memories. As soon as these companies feel the public has forgotten about this or Tigers starts winning a lot they'll be coming back.

The question is, should Tiger take them back? Sometimes it's not about the money especially if their competitors are interested in him sponsoring their products.

Unless Tiger has secret deals with these firms for the relationship to continue after this settles down (I know, I know...secret deals, relationships...I get there are jokes to be had there)....I would sever ties and say :thefinger if they want a piece of my action when I get back up.

 

[Will E Worm]

If they do take him back I will have to start an email and letter writing campaign to boycott the companies.

Just like the Alamo, never forget what Tiger did. :nono:

 

[meesterperfect]
