The problem with celebrity endorsements is that a lot of times the payment is up front. Thus, if an athlete “goes astray” the company simply pulls the ads, but the athlete already has his money.

I just read this article and it’s left me speechless. Horrified. Disgusted. FURIOUS. Quietly furious.

Michael Vick has endorsements with Nike and Coca Cola. I will be writing to them about what I think of him. I think he has one with EA Sports, too, but I have to check. I would love to see them drop him like a rock!

What a questionable representative and spokesman for the Atlanta Falcons and a multitulde of major sponsors. This guy makes a ton of money and yet he can only seem to make the headlines with negative publicity. This is why I no longer enjoy professional sports.

It’s time for team owners to raise the bar on public image for their players. And it’s time for sponsors to have a clause in their contracts that dumps the athlete with no payout who cannot maintain an appropriate public image.
