I am aware that even posting this is giving her publicity.
I try not to be negative but I hope she goes out in the 1st round.
Am I just a grump or does anyone else think this is ridiculous?

She's a sell out, in the worst way.
What else will she do for extra cash?

Posted: 8/20/13 at 9:29amA forward-looking athlete would take money from -- and change his/her name to -- Equal. Still poison shilling but more of-the-moment. No good Germans would do it, though.

Posted: 8/20/13 at 9:35amAwful as in tasteless, vulgar, absolutely devoid of anything resembling class. It's like Federer changing his name to Rolex Federer to play at Wimbledon.

Posted: 8/20/13 at 9:40amSoon there will have to be a rules change forbidding this. Not that "Infinite Jest" didn't predict this should happen.

i think its fun. its not like shes sponsoring vibrators or cigarettes. NAMO is right, it certainly isnt as bad as Alec Baldwin railing against big banks and doing Capitol One Commercials which he has every right to do, even if its hypocritical

Not only tasteless and vulgar, but childish.

Dear Mods, could we please get an ignore feature which would stop chosen posters from showing up on our screens? BWW would be such a nicer place!
Back on topic. I find this publicity seeking promotion truly tasteless.

Posted: 8/20/13 at 10:58amRoscoe couldn't have said it better. I thought this was a joke, I guess it's real, she's so absurd. If one of the Williams sister tried to pull this, imagine the outrage from the tennis community.

truly tasteless
Of course it is, especially considering one of the flavors is "Sporty".

PULEEZE. If the williams did this all we would hear about is how groundbreaking it is. At least maria doesnt bully teenage ballgirls, judges or blame rape victims for getting raped.

Posted: 8/20/13 at 11:08am"Sporty" is not a flavor. It's at best a deodorant scent; at worst a Spice Girl.

Sporty Mix
The "taste" of victory
There's also Sporty Pink
We should play a game! I'll post a picture of the candy, and you guys have to guess what the name of the flavor is.
