The hits keep coming for 23- year- old free- agent Johnny Manziel, after Nike decided to cut their ties with him. Nike signed Manziel for a shoe and apparel deal in March 2014 to a multiyear deal, but is no longer an endorser of the brand. The former Browns quarterback had already been dumped by his original contract agent, his marketing agent, as well as his second contract agent. Jonny needs to get his life back on track if he wants to play football sometime soon.Nike wasn't afraid to cut ties with Manziel. This is the sixth contract Nike has terminated in the past three- and- a- half years. Those whose deals were ended prematurely include Lance Armstrong, Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Oscar Pistorius, and Manny Pacquiao.
I agree with Nike and that they cut ties with Manziel because he is not the type of person that a major brand wants to associate with and promote their brand and company image unless he changes his life and priorities.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was very interesting. He could have such a bright future in football.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand Nike making this decision. I mean Manziel has put himself in a position where no one wants to be associated with him, not even the Cleveland Browns.
