One of Robby Gordon's sponsors, Vanguard, wants to to pull its
sponsorship off of Robby's NASCAR uniforms and its multi-year,
multi-million dollar sponsorship off of Robby's Dakar Rally vehicles.
Vanguard didn't like what Robby had to say about the cancellation of
the Dakar Rally due to terrorist-like acts in the race area, and they
want to pull their sponsorship immediately.
If you want to read more then go to scenedaily.com, as I am still too sick to sit here long enough to go into great detail about it - I'm just here long enough to offer my 2 cents, for what its worth anyway.
You know, I think it is more than just what Robby said. Robby has said and done a lot worse in the past than what Vanguard is protesting about. I think they are sour about the cancellation of Dakar this year and they just want to give it up - cut their losses as it were - and are looking for any excuse to get out of it.
Either that or they need to use that money elsewhere, or they have found a more noticeable sporting figure to invest their advertising dollars with - who knows? But I still feel that this has to do with something else other than what Robby said.
