It’s going to take more than sexual assault allegations originating from a nightclub’s bathroom and an NFL suspension for Nike to drop Ben Roethlisberger as an endorser.
The shoe company confirmed last week that Roethlisberger remains part of their “roster of athletes,” according to the New York Times. Roethlisberger has previously been used to sell the company’s unfortunately named “Marauder” cleats.
No matter what you think happened in Milledgeville, we’re a little surprised the shoe company still chooses to be associated with Roethlisberger. Even in the best of times, Roethlisberger is no Tiger Woods when it comes to selling product. Why bother?
