Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 1964560, member: 23910"] So... if Michelin sold a batch of faulty tyres, you'd suggest we lynch the Michelin Man? Do we blame the sports stars on the front of the Wheaties packet if the cereal inside is bad? The public is very capable of telling the difference between a marketing figurehead and someone who makes actual decisions. I think it's obvious to even the most casual observer that Ivey's role with the company was purely a marketing/promotional one. He really did no more (and truth be told, he probably did less) in that role than others like Gus Hansen, Patrik Antonius, Mike Matusow and Tom Dwan. I'm not passing any judgements here on his actions post-Black Friday. I'm just saying that it's not really fair to hold him to a different standard than the other top-tier sponsored pros on the site.
