    Thumbs Up CenturyLink "politely" terminates Brandon Marshall endorsement

    “We completely respect Brandon Marshall's personal decision and right to take an action to support something in which he strongly believes,” the company said in a statement. “America is anchored in the right of individuals to express their beliefs. While we acknowledge Brandon's right, we also believe that whatever issues we face, we also occassionally must stand together to show allegiance to our common bond as a nation. In our view, the national anthem is one of those moments. For this reason, while we wish Brandon the best this season, we are politely terminating our agreement with him.”--CenturyLink news release.

    Anytime you sign a contract to accept the position of "Celebrity Endorsement" you check your personal political whatever at the door. There is language in the agreement that protects the company or product from such "non-aligned" behaviors.
