\"\"Is Tiger Woods an Endorsement Magnet Again? Seton Hall Sports Poll Suggests He Is. <\/strong>Poll Also Queries Attitudes On Nike, Kaepernick, Trump, Urban Meyer and Serena.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>South Orange NJ, September 28, 2018 — Tiger Woods\u2019s first PGA victory in five years was generally considered a feel-good event for the sport, but can it translate to a return to the endorsement world in which he was once prominent? 70% of respondents said yes, they would expect Woods to get more endorsement opportunities now, to only 16% saying no. Only 9%, however, said they would be more inclined to buy a product bearing his endorsement, while 8% said less inclined and 82% said it would not matter.<\/p>\n

Those were the findings of a Seton Hall Sports Poll conducted this week among 780 Americans on land lines and cellphones, with a margin of error of +\/- 3.6%. The Seton Hall Sports Poll is conducted by the Stillman School of Business and its Sharkey Institute. Rick Gentile is the director.<\/p>\n

NFL Anthem Ruling?
\n<\/strong>Meanwhile, on the issue that started it all – the kneeling for the national anthem – 56% said the NFL should leave things as they are as opposed to issuing a ruling on the issue, which 39% favored. Younger respondents – ages 18-29 – by a 3-1 margin, said the matter should be left as is without the issuance of a new rule.<\/p>\n

President Trump Tweets on NFL Protests Divisive?
\n<\/strong>Asked whether President Trump\u2019s tweets about player protests were helpful, 56% said they divided people, 21% said they united people, and 10% said they had no effect.<\/p>\n

The Urban Meyer Suspension at Ohio State
\n<\/strong>Ohio State\u2019s head football coach Urban Meyer suffered a three-game suspension for mishandling a case of domestic abuse by an assistant coach. 34% felt it should have been more severe, and 9% felt it should have been less severe. 32% felt that was an appropriate punishment.<\/p>\n

Asked if race was a factor in her being penalized, 25% said yes, 58% said no. and African-Americans were split evenly.<\/p>\n
