Tiger Woods Trading Cards Featuring His Mistresses?
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Sports-memorabilia retailer Upper Deck Co. said it is standing by Tiger Woods, as other sponsors scale back their relationships with the star golfer following revelations of his alleged extramarital affairs.
'Tiger and his family have our full support,' Richard McWilliam, Upper Deck's chief executive and founder, said in a statement. 'We look forward to his eventual return to the PGA Tour.'" EMILY STEEL/Wall Street Journal
Shame on Upper Deck Co. for standing by the disgraced golfer, they should have kicked Tiger to the curb and replaced him with a golfer who isn't a low-life scum.
If another trading card company markets a deck featuring Tiger's bimbos, they will make a killing. Tiger's list of mistresses as of 5:08 this afternoon stands at 14, by the end of the year there will be enough Tiger's ho's for a standard 52-card deck.
To avoid paying Tiger any royalties they can forgo using his image, and instead label the Joker as the Tiger.
Richard McWilliam may be looking forward to Tiger's return to the PGA Tour, but most Americans wish the philandering sports star would disappear off the face of the Earth.
I will never again watch any golf tournament featuring Tiger Woods, and I will never again buy any Upper Deck playing cards.
