I am still asking the question, whether this was Digicels idea or O'Haras?
Either way I think they should make a statement on the issue.

Last night while watching Champs, quite spontaneously I tweeted comments that would appear to endorse ambush marketing. My initial thoughts were that Digicel pulled off a marketing coup with its endorsement of Michael Ohara. But it clearly amounts to ambush marketing and is unfair to the legitimate sponsors who have spent millions to have an exclusive right to market their products/services. It also may create a dangerous precedent where competitors retaliate against each other by employing this type of strategy.at future events.
Digicel's sponsorship of Ohara is a good thing as they did with Bolt from his high school days but doing it a LIME sponsored event, crossed the line."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass

Do you really need to ask that question? Ok, let me help you out, Sicko posted on his facebook page that the pool journalist were aware that Digicel was planning something 'extra ordinary' at champs...The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.

But Thats an idiot statement.

Well if that is the case then why should we crucify O'Hara and why should he be punished? Which high school youth is going to tell his sponsor that he is not doing what they tell him to do? First he would have to understand the consequences which I doubt he did.
Save the outrage for Digicel and their unethical behaviour. It should be a teachable moment for O'Hara yes, but he should not be the one blamed for this."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass

Digicel does not need to engage in such blatant ambush stunts. They can take a look at some creative ways Nike has tried to big up demself during World Cup football, an adidas event for some 40 years.

Maybe it doesn't matter to them, but still any outrage about the issue should be directed at them and not the high school youth that they have used as a pawn in this."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass

At what point does the school and the athlete realise that they should not allow themselves to be used as pawns for exchange of some dollars?
