40. Tiger woods gets special treatment
because those companies think (and rightly so) that having him wear their stuff will get more people to buy it. There is no corporation that thinks having you or me have as much influence as Woods.

Now to avoid buy products from a company because you don't like their business practices I can totally get behind. I would just ask that those "generic" clothing items you do buy you check into those companies as well, my guess is you'd dislike those companies for some very similar reasons.

Not all companies that have products prominently displaying their logo treat their workers like Nike. Under Armour is a great example, and generally I like Under Armour products better anyway.
