Alex Morgan, Hope Solo sign deal with Bank of America
A. Isaac Alex Morgan, Hope Solo, and Abby Wambach are capitalizing on their newfound fame in a big way. The three have signed a deal to endorse Bank of America in conjunction with Chicago’s October marathon.
“The Bank of America Chicago Marathon touches many people who never lace up a running shoe because of the funds participants raise for charities each year, as well as the economic benefit the race brings to the city of Chicago,” says Anne Finucane, Bank of America’s global strategy and marketing officer, in a statement.
“It takes a tremendous amount of partnership to make all of that happen, and right now, nobody better represents the spirit of teamwork than Abby, Hope and Alex. That’s why we are so excited to have the opportunity to be working with them.”
Because of Bank of America’s somewhat poor reputation with the general public (they foreclosed on the wrong house and ruined this couples’ lives), it’s being met with mixed reviews on Twitter.
Here’s what our friend from Midwest Sports Fans had to say:
Whoa: Hope Solo & Alex Morgan signed a Bank of America deal? Does this mean they’re going to screw everyone? (Score!)
Indeed sir, indeed. But yea, back on point, good for these lovely ladies. Even though Bryant Gumbel thinks you’re being coddled (and I agree with him), it’s nice to see someone take money from Bank of America as opposed to the other way around.
