Tiger Woods loses another big sponsor

Telecom giant AT&T Inc. announced Thursday that it is cancelling its sponsorship deal with Tiger Woods, becoming the second major corporate sponsor to cut ties with the embattled golfer.

AT&T follows consulting firm Accenture in dropping Woods, who has been engulfed in a marital-infidelity scandal for a month. "We are ending our sponsorship agreement with Tiger Woods and wish him well in the future," AT&T said in a written statement.

Maybe Goodrum will pick him up

Its only becuase he is not playing, If he was still playing everything will be ok, heaps of stuff has happened since his incident, terrorist on the plane, charlie sheen, brittany murphy.

He just needs to keep playing golf and it will work itself out.

when kobe had a rape charge, he just played through it and all the sponsors came back.

Not only did Tiger screw everything with two legs and boobs, he screwed himself even harder.

AT&T never needed Tiger and I don't even know how he was used.

How much was this deal worth?

I agree. He needs to get back on the course. Keep his mouth closed. Win. Keep winning. And a few years down the road the sponsors will slink back and write the big cheques again.

That's the irony. Paying someone to do nothing. Yet, it shows up on your bill....

Anyone know if Lana's egg whites are looking for a new pitch man? Someone should send Tiger over a contact name...

Spoken for truth. These fucking companies disgust me. They are just climbing on the woods bashing bandwagon.

As soon as the guy starts playing and winning again - they will be straight back to bed with him.

Would you hit it?

Tiger Wood.

I wonder if it was an AT&T phone which tiger was using for all his "sexting" needs.

Perhaps Verizon will ocme out iwth a phone that allows you to hide numbers belonging to hot NY escorts. Now that's a phone every guy should have.

All will be forgiven with winning.

At some point we're should really consider discussing the possibility of admitting we (Americans) have very few morals, if any, beyond whatever is immediately convenient.

When he returns his sponsor will be a porn site or escort service.

Yep, he does need to get back on tour. But I think one of his problems is that he HAS been keeping his mouth shut. Dude needs to make a live statement and just not a posting on his website.

Very true, doc. Never is this more evident than American's attitudes towards drinking and sex. Very twisted with Puritanism. The Japanese have got it right.

What do the Japanese do?

Well, their attitudes towards sex and drinking are very civilized. You wanna drink and pass out at 8 am on the the train platform? Fine. You wanna read a magazine called 'RapeMan' on a crowded subway? Fine. You do those things in America and it's seen as some kind of moral turpitude. Very Puritan, and I really mean Puritan in the theological sense.

/i have it too. guilt-wise.

We're quickest to claim moral superiority or put a value on people's humanity.
