Tiger Woods' Gillette Fallout: Sponsor To Limit Woods' Role In Marketing
Commented Dec 14, 2009 at 05:27:23 in Sports
“Gillette's rivals should pounce on Toger now and offer him a long-term contract. Let Gillette suck.
These cowardly companies like Tag, Gillette ,Accenture etc., which have abandoned Tiger without any evidence that their is any negative impact pon their product sales, deserve to suffer. Boycott them.
Tiger will be back in time for the first Major, which he will win, and you will see the suckers begging back!”

“sports sponsors will lose least. that means Nike. they should stand by him till he plays say 5 tourneys and then decide
other companies that sell the image have more to lose. thats why Accenture, Gilette, Tag should drop him.
these companies can find other spokesperson. no big deal. Tiger is not the only athlete out there.”

“Who the hell was it that Tiger killed? What is wrong with him having encounters? Which one of us, in our brief moments of honest reflection, does not say "...darn, I wish I had his money, fame, success at my chosen proffession and the ability to have my choice of female companionship whereever and whenever I want". It is only those who HONESTLY do not think that can be critical. In any event, it is hios choice. He is not paid NOT to have women. He is paid to play golf at the highest level. Has his having many women made him a worse golfer.

As for the Swedish babysitter who struck gold, was she as "shocked" by his wealth and power when she met him and began to feel the feel? She is just a gold digger.
If El Tigre had just married a non white woman, none oif this would have mattered. He chose the wrong club. He is now in the hazard.
But, truth be told, like every other successful black person in America, they are always gunning for you.”

In 2006 I began to pause when Pelosi and Reid took impeachment "..off the table.."
In 2008 I was reeled in by the "Change You can believe in " machine.
In 2009 I was rudely awakened by the Appointments of Sumner and Geithner Hope was a little shaken then. Between March and August when the Republican vast Minority was allowed to fill the Media with unanswered attacks which impacted the People, Hope was down on its knees for the 8 count.
When during the Summer the lunatic firnge were permitted to drown logic with ratbait , Hope suffered four 8 counts in that round.
After Labour day, stillgroggy from the blows delivered from March through August, Hope lay against the ropes being pummelled from the Right and the so called Left!
Healthcare Reform was being stiffly uppercutted by Democats for Change, including the President .
All it took to put Hope down for the full count, after the batterring received for the past 12 Rounds, (months), the assertions of Pelosi and Reid, obviously acting in concert with the White House. No reconcilliation. They leave the Senate 60 vote Rule in place, as undemocratic and unconstitutional as it is. They now remove reconcilliation "..off the table."
Henceforth I vote Republican across the Board. At least they do what they say they will and what their supporters want, however distasteful that might be.”

“Funny.
We have laws that require basic education for all, legal representation for all, freedom of movement for all, privacy for all law-abiding citizens, yet the suggestion that we should have health care for all is considered "unAmerican?"
If everything was run like health care, the only thing that would characterize America is lawlessness. The cost of everything from food to housing would be beyond many people leaving them no other choice if they are to survive.
What kind of society do we want? Our Health care system is not just an expensive joke. It is cruel.”

“Why is it that we think we should dictate to a woman that she cannot make a man, or woman, pay her for the honour of coupling with her? Who are we to impose our hypocritical "values" on others?
If you think about it, every man and woman exchanges money or money value for sex. When you take your date to dinner etc. and you pay the cost, you then have "consensual sex in a relationship". How is that different to a woman or man having a short date with someone they are not in a long term relationship with and, instead of buying them dinner etc., they give that person the money to buy dinner etc.,? Like a spouse giving the other spouse money, gifts, a roof over their head etc., it is a Law of Nature for there to be an exchange related to the sex act.
A woman has a Right to demand money in exchange for the honour of your use of it. Perhaps all the hypocrites who are against that, for whatever reasons they spout, should shut their blather and get on with their own lives, and stop doing anything which benefits their spouses or partners or dates.
