A CTE teacher's blog about teaching, sports & entertainment marketing, life, and other assorted topics. A long, circuitous career path has now found me teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing in North Carolina. I was in the Marines and the TV business prior to teaching--told ya it was circuitous! And yes, I do ramble!

Goodbye, Lance Armstrong
After years of denial, Lance Armstrong finally gave up his fight to clear his name. After the 1,000 page report and testimony from former teammates, sponsors also gave up their associations with Armstrong. Even Nike, who has stood by nearly every athlete who has erred, dropped him.
The interesting thing in my class: over 75% of them said they thought Nike should have stayed with Lance Armstrong, and the teammates must have been lying. Yeah....OK!
