Tavares, what are you doing? Endorsements?

[Fogelhund]

Whomever his business advisors are, should probably be fired. What the heck is he attaching his name to these crap products?

Some of us have heard about the Amulet crap, these purports to protect you from electromagnetic radiation and the evils of 5G, as well as having magical healing powers.... well, I run across this one today too.

If he keeps getting these deals and signs for 900K his next deal, he can have advertisements with whomever he wants lool

Dude is slow and cooked but at 1-2M he can give you PP net front pffense and a solid 3rd line winger

Dont give him another payday is all

Gwyneth Paltrow's goop eggs are probably next.

Probably got paid an attractive enough sum and doesn't care that much about what the thing does or doesn't do

Will red light therapy improve Tavares' skating speed?

 

[ACC1224]

Isn't this what we always see as a perk for players signing in here?
I don't get what the big deal is.

I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole of which products are most effective, but there are athletes who pushed something like Gatorade for years as a healthy way to stay hydrated while playing, and that is not the case, so I am not sure how this is much different than pushing sugar water other than it is a less commercialized product.

Tree saw Tavares handing out amulets in the locker room game 7 last year and decided to change the captain.

I hope you're kidding.

Resigning JT will be the litmus test on whether this team is serious about winning or extending the playoff appearance streak.

If I understand correctly, when it comes to the amulet, he's promoting a scam. He's embarrassing himself and as a past captain indirectly the team and it's fans.

 

[SprDaVE]

His wife is in the medical field so this is rather a bizarre avenue to venture in.

It's a scam? I'd be surprised if his Agent doesn't vette everything before bringing it to him.

Dude, it's a Russell Brand-linked $239.99 amulet claiming protection from Wi-Fi & evil energies.

I wouldn't buy one but there's obviously a market there. Not my definition of a scam, people buy all kinds of wacky things if they believe in them.

protection from evil energies.

It's quite possible he believes it to be true. Who cares if he does?

Red light therapy is a real thing that works. That is a legitimate product. The amulet thing is just dumb.

I've had ultrasound therapy, guessing that's similar.

I feel zero second-hand embarrassment from the things Tavares believes/promotes. There's zero logic at all in this.

I don't either but it certainly might embarrass his teammates, friends and family. At best JT might lose other endorsements because they don't want to be associated with a flake. He should just know better or have people around him that do.

Not likely, but slow as he is, he should try it all. Stem cells, roids, woodo, do it all John!!!

 

[Sypher04]

More than anything I’m shocked these are the best endorsement opportunities his team can find him in Toronto of all markets.

The only logical conclusion I can come to us that he actually believes in these things
