Does JAL's Bankruptcy Mean the End for Ai Miyazato's Endorsement?

Uh-oh, just found out that JAL has filed for bankruptcy. Forget whether they end up partnering with Delta or American: the real question is, does this mean they will no longer be endorsing Ai Miyazato?



Bad decision for them if they stop now, just when she's poised for her best season ever!

Tough for Ai if she looses the sponsor...but Con...she could win every tournament she plays and that won't sell enough seats to get a company like JAL out of the red.

Probably true, unfortunately, but if it's true of Ai-sama for a major Japanese corporation, then I worry about sports sponsorships in general.

I smell an opportunity for Sony! Wouldn't she look great doing a widescreen TV commercial in 1080p?

I like the way you're thinking, Mike!
