Obama is in - Tiger is out.. |
|
Buick has fired Tiger as their spokesperson - they aren't sponsoring him any more on the golf tour after 10 years.
Interesting..

20. That is why you will never make it in management... |

3. Bet they can't afford him any more. |
|
I'm sure Buick isn't doing too well and they're slashing their ad budget. Celeb endorsements of the Tiger Woods caliber don't come cheaply.

10 year deal... ending 1 year early.
I don't have a problem with them either seeking his endorsement, paying him $7M for his appearances, or cutting costs by terminating it early.
There is a good chance that he will not appear at any PGA events this year as his various surgeries heal and he has to learn to swing a club again.

10. This is such a moronic "conspiracy" thread... you do realize GM owns Buick.... |
|
And GM is broke. Buick is a completely dead brand. America doesn't make anything good anymore. That's the DU meme.

13. He was "fired" about as much as anyone at his level ever is... |
|
college or pro football coaches, cabinet secretaries, movie stars, CEO's etc...he wasn't hauled into Buick's head offices and given a card board box...they just aren't completing his contract.
