Donald Young to Lotto

El Nino · 01-25-2013, 02:20 PM

Looks like Nike dropped him once & for all. I wonder why Lotto signed him? The only reason I can think of is to target the African-American crowd as he's still as a popular figure for them (including me.)

He needs to win the Lotto.

I know, horribly lame joke.

I'm sure it's just a sponsorship (providing clothes and accessories) and not an endorsement where they're paying him (unless he has some "big" result and gets a bonus).

But, would DY sporting Lotto really impact sales among African-American tennis players in any sort of significant way? I guess it can't hurt to find out.

Is there anyone lotto won't take, they seem to have half the draw at the ao.

It doesnt surprise me, where is he in the rankings now? He must be outside of the top 150?

Yeah we really don't know terms of sponsorship. I mean it could be routine offer to those around top 100-150 ATP level. If you were going to throw a lot of money at an African American tennis player in hopes of influencing people, I would throw it at Sloane Stevens.
