Huge news: Accenture drops Tiger!!

[240 is Back]

"The bodybuilding industry as well as the IFBB should take note on how to handle competitors who give the industry a bad image. You want to make bodybuilding legit, fine or suspend if they represent the industry in a bad light. Same with the sponsors they represent.  "

Excellent point.  More marketable guys move up when you push the thugs out.  You get a felony bid, you are banned for 2-5 years from BBing.

dude, are you high? lol

I posted a link of the Forbes report dum ass.  The stock will drop sharply today.  You must have be high....highly retarded to miss that little blue link you moron....

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

You are *such* an idiot.

Golf and big business go hand-in-hand.  This is why you're hawking bee pollen at flea markets. 

Beats hawking ugly moustached she he's behind the back of Denny's

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

Pretty obvious - Accenture have been helping people get away with shit for years. Tiger no longer fits their mould because he got caught...

Yeppers...... Accenture is one of the most crooked companies around.  Built from the foundation of another crooked company Arthur Anderson, incorporated in Bermuda to avoid paying US taxes and accused of a long line of rule breaking activities.

Most of you people may be talking shit right now defending Accenture but they are responsible for a vast number of jobs being brought out of country.  They've taken away more American jobs than you can imagine so shut the fuck up if you don't know who you are actually rooting for.

Tiger may have done wrong but Accenture has done far worse

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

Well it kind of shows you why you aren't in this industry and you have no idea how or why sponsors sponsor certain individuals.  Better keep your day job cleaning the locker rooms at the local Y cause you will never ever be involved with marketing

Be quiet, Butterball.  The only stock you're concerned with is how many doughnuts Krispy Kreme have "stocked" on their shelves.....

[MuscleMcMannus]

Not really.  They simply do tasks for companies who can't afford it or have laid off workers.  That's not excellence in my opinion 



Monday morning, their stocks are going to take a enormous dump.

Down 0.01.  You should stick with what you know big guy........schmoes and oily male bodies in thongs.

From the start, this was the one I was most worried about and looks like my concerns were valid.  Most GetBiggers may not know Accenture, but this is a *huge* blow to Tiger, because he essentially built their company.  In terms of importance to their brand, Tiger's relationship with Accenture is right up there with his relationship with Nike Golf.  It's going to be weird traveling now and not seeing Tiger all over the place, as they had some cool-ass ads.

Global consulting firm Accenture Ltd. has ended its relationship with Tiger Woods, marking the first major sponsor to cut ties altogether with the golfer since his alleged infidelities surfaced and he announced an indefinite leave from the sport to work on his marriage.

In its first statement since the Woods' scandal erupted, Accenture said Sunday the golfer is "no longer the right representative" after the "circumstances of the last two weeks."

Diminishing Returns as Pitchman?

The move ends a six-year relationship during which the firm credited its "Go on, be a Tiger" campaign with boosting its image significantly. Accenture has used Woods to personify its claimed attributes of integrity and high performance.

"After careful consideration and analysis, the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising," Accenture said, adding that "it wishes only the best for Tiger Woods and his family."

The firm plans to immediately transition to a new advertising campaign, with a major effort scheduled to launch later in 2010. An Accenture spokeswoman declined to comment further.

Accenture's advertising campaign was almost entirely built around Woods and his success by portraying his greatness on the golf course by making a key putt or chipping out of the rough.

If Woods had acknowledged mistakes and said he would be back in a month, Accenture might be able to ride it out, said Rick Burton, a professor of sports management at Syracuse University, in an interview.

But Accenture can't afford to wait for what could be a long time before Woods returns.

"They had tied everything in their campaign to Tiger Woods it appeared," he said. "If he's not golfing, those ads don't make sense."

Burton noted that Accenture's billboards and airport advertising need to be replaced quickly. Without a backup plan, the company might will fall back on something simple and conservative that could highlight its logo.

"It is probably prudent to take a low-key, conservative approach until they determine what their next message is that they want to send," he said.

Going forward, Accenture will have to determine whether it wants to stick with sports or whether its been too burned by what happened and will go another route, Burton added.

"Accenture has made a decision to not continue with their sponsorship. We are disappointed but respect their decision," said Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent at IMG.

The PGA Tour said it would have no comment.

Accenture has been title sponsor since 2001 of the Match Play Championship, a lucrative World Golf Championship event that draws the top 64 players from the world ranking. Accenture earlier this year renewed its sponsorship of the tournament through 2014. The contract is separate from its business endorsement with Woods.

While not terminating their relationship completely, another major Woods sponsor pulled away this weekend. On Saturday, Gillette, which uses the slogan "The best a man can get," said it won't air advertisements featuring Woods or include him in public appearances for an unspecified amount of time.

Woods was hired by Gillette in 2007 and has been in ads for Gillette Fusion Power razors with titles like "Phenom" and "Champions" with other stars including tennis great Roger Federer and soccer player Thierry Henry.

However, other sponsors continue to stick with Woods for the time being.

Electronic Arts, whose EA Sports division has been selling Tiger Woods video golf games for a decade, said Sunday: "We respect that this is a very difficult, and private, situation for Tiger and his family. At this time, the strategy for our Tiger Woods PGA TOUR business remains unchanged."

The game's next edition featuring Woods comes out in six months.

AT&T said Sunday it continues to evaluate its relationship with the golfer. Watch maker Tag Heuer did not return a call Sunday, but its Web site continues to display photos of Woods' wearing the Link and Golf Watch models.

Nike Inc. said late Friday it supports Woods' decision to take time off. Gatorade, a unit of PepsiCo Inc., said previously it supports Woods.

accenture= 23 billion dollar co.

  I love how you have nothing to say because you know I am right as is everyone else on here.  You have no business dealing with the public.  You are a menace and a scammer who can only feed off people who don't know who you are.  It is hilarious how you come on here trying your best to sound smart but your real intelligence comes out and you are exposed as the dumb-fuck you really are.  How embarrassed your mom and dad (brother and sister) must be of you.  And you wonder why you are invited to your family reunion (date night)

[The Showstoppa]

Vince G is just pissed that Tiger didn't throw him the ole 5 wood.

shhhh!  if I wanted any shit from you I would squeeze your head.  And it is appropriate how you defend Goodrum (a fellow big talker with nothing to back it up)

Im not defending gpoodrum, I just think its fucking ironic how you can sit on your fatass and tell goodrum that hes family is ashamed of him.

LOOK AT YOUR OWN FATASS for fuck sake.

Hahahaha what are you going to do you fucking fag moron get your Pre-Paid legal after me.  you fucking dipshit you are hilarious.  You mislead people by putting up credentials you didn't earn but paid for online, you pretend to know so much shit but yet you know nothing.  You give stupid advice and have been proven full of hit on here many times.  you know what put a link on your website to Getbig and let people you peddle your site to read about you on here and see how you really are. You are a fucking scumbag simple as that.  You tried any of the shit you pull in my time you would have been beaten daily.  You are a joke and unlike you everyone knows it

What is ironic is how you put people down who actually do something with their lives and their bodies.  That is fucking ironic.  You don;'t do shit but post on Getbig.  I am 50 and any kind of competition in anything is far from gone.  I don't need to be in the shape I was.  I was a national and world champion.  I did something with what I had.  You are doing nothing.  You can call me fat all you want but the fact is I have had my day and I have accomplished some pretty good things in my life.  I don't care as much as I did 10 years ago what I look like.  I am getting back into shape and I am doing it at a pace that I am happy with.  Financially I am fine,  I don't need anything else.  I do what I want when I want.  I have been doing that for 30 years.  When you do 1000th of what I have done then you are good to me.  Until then you are just a bitter young kid from a small country who is meaningless to me except to hound every now and then.  And honestly, you do not want to go down the same road as Goodrum.  He is an embarrassment to his family and race.

Those a real personal questions.  Swede.  Unless you plan on wineing and dining me I don't want to give away any of my secrets.  But I gotta to admit the getting laid part has been way to long.  The funny thing is even with such a huge dry-spell I can guarantee you (even counting all your self-admitted gay experiences) I have been laid many many many times more than you have.  Even if you count your relatives.  But, hey you are the one with the Napoleon Complex not me.

Well yes, I'll have to admit that I paid for my credentials for the schools and colleges I attended.  You really got me there...

Keith, my business is prospering and yours is dead in the water.  Your gym in Las Vegas is a flop and you have not sold even 1 on your franchises in the past two years

The worse part is that your still grossly obese and have done absolutely nothing to improve your life whatsoever and as a result, you just lash out at everyone like an angry walrus. 

I don't laugh at you...I just pity you..
