It all boils down to this...

"Hey aren't you the company sponsoring the dude that cheated on his girlfriend which lead to girlfriend murdering the other woman with a gun he bought for her?"

Not something any company wants to hear about someone they're sponsoring.

At the bare minimum, it's tough to sell the image of "Privateer Pickup Artist" to the sponsors in 2022

Totally agree on the image part. The second part is a nod to "guilty until proven innocent" and speculation.

Cancel culture isn't a fantasy. I'm a liberal. It does exist. I just vehemently disagree with the right with when they choose to be upset about it versus when I do.

Particularly when it contributes to someone getting murdered.

I feel dumb now as I hadn't heard about the gun ownership implication part prior. I kept seeing it in the last couple comments and thinking "what is all this about".

The articles I had read had not included that, yet. That changes things more than a little bit.

If you read the police affidavit that was floated around he bought a gun for himself and a gun for her. Granted I get it's Texas, but man he knew his girlfriend was calling and harassing her.....and he was still running around with her.....and then he buys her a gun.

I'd be shocked if Wilson's family doesn't try to go after him in civil court over her death because he was just asking for something to escalate.

If only there was a good guy there with a gun

Where Texas or Vermont (I think that's where she was from)? I think that might have an influence on the outcome.

This sums it up.

Every time his name gets mentioned it will be bring up thoughts of this case not his sporting achievements. Nobody wants their brand linked to that. Rightly or wrongly I’d be amazed if any marketing department ever go within a mile of him.

I'm not a lawyer but my understanding you have to serve and try a case in the jurisdiction of the defendent for civil cases. He lives in Texas so it would be Texas.

Sure. But right or wrong, it’s a no brainer for sponsors. They’ll just sponsor another athlete who is not in the spotlight for something negative.

the sponsors probably paid Colin the penalties, provided by the contract, in the event of early termination

Holy Sh*t... I knew that Hilton died, but I didn't know the rest of it.

Not necessarily. It's not uncommon for sponsorship agreements to have a morality clause which would allow for termination without penalty.

I can confirm this

Although it wasn't the husband that came after me*, it was my ex-girlfriend, herself, blaming me when her husband wouldn't take her back

I guess she figured that if I was gone, he'd trust her again? I don't know; I didn't ask



* I know, I know - should've stayed away from the married person; been around that all before ... no need to rehash it here

The US Marshals Fugitive Task Force is very good at finding people. They would have already known if she hopped on another flight so not likely given the article.

I wonder if she took a drive to Canada.

Her passport would be flagged so she would have to cross outside of a border crossing.
She would still get arrested and held, but I'm pretty sure Canada doesn't extradite unless the death penalty is taken off the table.

There was no warrant for her arrest yet.

Fugitive wanted in killing of elite cyclist traveled to New York City, authorities say - CNN

US Marshals just have to ask the CBSA if she crossed. They would already know if she was in Canada and article does not say that.
So, if she's in Canada, she didn't use a border checkpoint.

If you’re crossing in a vehicle they don’t always put you in the system. Often times they just look at the passport and wave you through.

Just spitballing why they may not know she’s in Canada. Most likely she’s somewhere in the NYC area and didn’t risk a border crossing.
