New Nike Ad with Earl Woods' Voice

[Catty1]

I wonder if doing an ad like this was the only way Nike would give him another chance.

Boo

We were asked to comment on the AD, not about 2nd chances.

That's crummy.....the worst ad I have ever seen in my life.

I wonder if anyone on the planet believes in second chances?

A few million recovered alcoholics and addicts do, because they had one and made good on it.

It can happen. And does happen, every day.

I hope Woods and others like him hang around people that are 'winners' - who have made good and/or can encourage him to stay on the right path.

Being around bashers and naysayers would make taking the right road all that much harder.

And if the world made it easier for him to take the right road, how long before he took the wrong road again ???

I think the video is creepy. I would love to know their thinking behind it.

But, they have stuck by Tiger where his other sponsors have dropped him.

wom - I have 14 years in...and I know that I am just one drink away from a drunk.

Addictions are never cured. One can recover - and the condition can be managed - but that takes a LOT of work. Recovery has to be a way of life.

Tiger's in the first few months...at least if he goes out of town, he can find meetings to go to!
