All those that are claimging "personal life" doesn't matter and just citing that Woods is a golf legend which should be good enough...
Here is a thought...family values.
People that are brought up to the podium of society and are on cerial boxes need to uphold this.
He can go fuck a sheep for all I care and cheat on his wife all he wants, but there is no way I would want my kids thinking that its something that is ok to do.
Half of you are already ok with it...which is quite appaling. |
here is another though..... raise you own damn kids.
If your worried that the messages in the media are bad for your childeren, take the time to talk about those issues with your kids, make sure they know what you feel and why you feel that way. While i agree that the star fucking and living our lives thru cleberties in modern socicity is repulsive, i don't care about the suposed "role models" effect on childeren.
Tiger woods is one of the best golfers in the world, if i have a question about golf he is the first person that i would ask. He's also a hump happy billionarie, who like many other famous and unkown peole alike, ignored his wedding vows and got a pile of strange. that makes him down near the bottom of the list of people i will ask for relationship advice.
See what i did there? i looked at the situation and took what i needed from it, and if more parents would teach their kids to do the same thing the world would be a better place.

I won't have any issues raising my kids. But you really think the most of society has a critical eye like you and is able to do this? The moronic reality TV ratings which are through the roof state otherwise...
Why do we have these role models on cerial boxes in the first place if they aren't an influence on society?
|
Athletes get their images on ceral boxes for the same reason any other advertising exists: to sell a product. No one in their right mind that actually makes any of the decisions regarding athletes on cereal boxes cares one iota about the influence on society outside of "will we make money?" It's the parent's responsiblity and no one else's to make sure their kids get the right influences. If they fail that, it's their failure alone. No one is going to reshape society from the ground up just so a handful of people that can't cut it on their own are accomodated. In fact, it's actually designed from the ground up specifically to take advantage of those very people.

Anywho, all the family talk aside...
From a pure business perspective, I don't think its smart to keep him as a sponsor if you are Coke or Gillette as these companies have a very traditional family oriented image. He can go represent Ashley Madison or Lavalife or something...
I really don't know who his sponsors are at the moment and it makes sense for EA to keep him as they make sports games, but not so much if you have "family oriented company" on the end of your commercial.
