I just don't see how he should lose any endorsements all - the guys a jerk but he's going to sell their product

no matter what.

I just don't get the logic behind it.

if you are using someone whom I don't trust to "say" your product is great, I'm not likely to trust that. If he can do ... - zork Dec 8, 13:24
The Tiger brand is toxic right now. -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 13:22
There are plenty of other sports figures that can sell a drink that don't have the stink on him that Tiger does -- nm - oblique Dec 8, 13:21 1

Agreed. As a public figure, his meltdown is news. But it should not affect his skill or marketability. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 13:19 18
- Well, you're half right. If people go from liking him to not liking him; that's exactly what affecting his marketability is. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:20 17

    - Either he goes in the tank or he decimates the Tour. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:24 6
      - He will invent the "fuck you major". -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 13:24 4
        
        If he gets paired with Jesper in a round by chance, he shoots 58. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:27 3
        
        I bet they won't get any warnings for slow play either. -- nm - Tickle-Me-Diva Dec 8, 13:29 2

    - I'm calling like a 9 stroke victory in his first major back. He goes batshit. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 13:22 3
      - I think he breaks a sand wedge and buries the broken shaft in the neck of someone in the gallery. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 13:24 2
        
        yeah - the first one who yells "GET IN THE HO!". -- nm - Tickle-Me-Diva Dec 8, 13:31
        
        and the officials will overlook the 2 stroke penalty for grounding the club in a hazard -- nm - zork Dec 8, 13:27
  - I suppose that's true. I was inclined to believe that so long as he keeps winning, he can keep selling, but I see what you're saying. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 13:21 4
    - He'll need some time to get back to his marketability levels. Hell, Kobe's a huge seller now and he bent a woman over against her will. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:22 3
      - it's not like he's OJ selling a steak knife set - it's juice for gawd's sake - Epiphany Dec 8, 13:38 2
        
        Doesn't matter what the product is; he's tarnished for a while. People don't like paying those people's salaries. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:40 1
        
        especially when they make next to nothing and he's making millions -- nm - zork Dec 8, 13:41
I think he takes a big hit here; it's not just a singular occurance. They want to distance themselves; fine...but this is awful lying. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:19
it's an association thing, plenty of people now think he's a jerk... you don't pick someone disliked to sell your product. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 13:18
