You guys can't be serious?
Boycotting deodorant because of billy slater?
Yes - very serious. We boycotted Bonds when they sacked several hundred workers and set up shop overseas. I would suggest a lot of women would boycot anything Tiger Woods may be promoting at the moment - that is why sponsors have dumped him.
All comes back to public perception old boy. No-one knows Billy in Melbourne and anyone else who does know him tend to realise he is a great player but has been called a grub by many many many people.
I can cite the instance at Brookvale last year in the second round. He was tackled by Robbo and when he got up he let one go on Robbo that knocked him out right in front of the touchie and ref who DID NOTHING.
The leading with the boots in 2008 grand final etc etc etc. I need not cite anymore examples.
But to reiterate - I am very serious I will not buy Rexona as long as he is promoting it.

What you're actually saying is that you're affected by advertising.
Not really the sort of thing that makes people take you seriously.
Even though it's a negative response, the advertising has reached you.
I would not want to be thought of as one of the brainwashed masses from the commercial mainstream like that.
If women want to boycott Tigers brands because of what he did then they should pretty much boycott everything on the market. If the sport star/actor promoting the product isn't shagging around then the CEO of the company the profits go to probably is.
Lame.
