EA Sports Continues To Stand By Tiger Despite "Some Mistakes" He's Made

Despite being dropped by several major sponsors, Tiger Woods still has the support of EA Sports.
In a statement released on their official website, president Peter Moore says that the new game, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online "is a breakthrough experience" and they're proud of it, so they won't be pulling the plug on the pro golfer anytime soon.
On EA Sports' official blog, Moore writes:
- "Our relationship with Tiger has always been rooted in golf. We didn’t form a relationship with him so that he could act as an arm’s length endorser. Far from it. We chose to partner with Tiger in 1997 because we saw him as the world’s best, most talented and exciting golfer. We struck that partnership with the assumption that he would remain near or at the top of his sport for years to come.
By his own admission, he’s made some mistakes off the course. But regardless of what’s happening in his personal life, and regardless of his decision to take a personal leave from the sport, Tiger Woods is still one of the greatest athletes in history. At EA SPORTS, we make authentic sports simulations. When we say “It’s in the Game”, it is not just a tag line but a statement about the quality and authenticity of the game experience. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online is truly representative of that rallying cry, and a game that all of us at EA SPORTS are proud to be delivering this month to sports fans around the globe."
What would he have to do to get dropped to EA Sports? Kill someone?

EA Games you make me proud. I stand by your games & your loyalty. Humans make mistakes. There's nothing wrong with that. We all make mistakes.
personal problems are nothing do with sport!
Here is to 11:29am, EA Sports made there statement very clear but if you didn't understand it them let me clear it up for you! THEY SAID F*CK YOU!! EA Sports I stand with you and Tiger too!!
Probably more fisable for them to sell it - after all it cost them MILLIONS to make!!
BUT what the public needs to do is: NOT BUY IT!
And who knows - maybe their hands are dirty too!! The Enquirer will have us knowing soon enough!!
Why didn't Chris Brown get this kind of sympathy?? Oh yeah right, he was a "physical" abuser not a MENTAL ABUSER LIKE TIGER!! B.S.!!
Tiger is a LITTLE PUSSYcat!!!
Chris, you should've played white my friend, or had a bunch of people gambling on your talent!! ONLY WAY FORWARD IN AMERICA, eh?? geez...:(
EA Sports, we all wish you luck in hawking your products.
TIGER = THE FACE OF A CHEATER.
They must not have Anything else to sell! lol
Excuse me but it's not a "mistake" when a person does it repeatedly over a long period of time. It's intentional! He's a sleazy whoremonger who had a nice wife and children at home. Hopefully his wife won't return to the dirtbag.
Love EA Sports! CBS is standing by Charlie cut wife throat Sheen!
Yes!
People should stop looking at CBS and Two Men. Why don't they pull that show off the air.
Finally! Someone out there that acknowledges they didn't sign him up as some moral compass, but as a sports that, and that his personal life has NOTHING to do with his talent on the course and is no-one else's business but his and those directly involved. Common sense finally prevails
people should mine there own buisness
