The image above is an advertisement of Nike featuring world famous golf star Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods once was considered the world's best golfer, but since late 2009 he has not been the same player. Tiger was caught in a big sex scandal which eventually affected his play.
Till this day he has not been the same player.
Nike is recognized by the swoosh. Nike has also been one of Tiger's biggest supporters over the years. Back in early 2013 this advertisement was posted on social media accounts, when Tiger reached the ranking of number one golfer in the world (a title he did not have for almost 3 years.) The ad itself is trying to intend a message to people. A message that received a backlash for trying to promote just win and the world will forget all about your wrong doings.
Nike's idea of trying to promote that winning takes care of everything is a solid advertisement. Most people will tend to disagree since it causes controversy, however we live in a society where many people are like that. Sports wise, if you are a convicted killer but still can play some ball, people will still buy your jersey. There will always be people calling for your head on social media accounts, but at the end of the day winning does take care of everything.
