There are two pieces at MousePlanet I thought might interest the group. They are together (one right below the other). There is also a link to the original article from the Orlando Sentinel. Both make interesting reading.
For both articles (Tiger says no thanks and Free tickets? When will they pay you to go?) Click here (http://www.mouseplanet.com/al/docs/update.htm)
For those of you who defended this move by reason of ESPN and ABC consider the following: Originally Disney wanted him to endorse just about everything they had under the sun, including the parks, and in particular the troubled California Adventure [DCA] You see the way Ei$ner can't stay focused (if anyone needs a mission statement, he does!!!). The way his business plan is rather… pedestrian. And how he hasn't got a clue regarding Walt's philosophy. The plan was for Woods to endorse everything!!! Parks included!!! And as I recall, I think that nearly everyone on this board, both pro and con, were in agreement that it was just a plain stupid thing to do! Everyone except Ei$ner of course!!
What a guy!! :(
