In the same month as it was reported widely across the internet that Tiger Woods had turned down a massive $75,000,000 sponsorship from Paddy Power another 'bad boy' of the sports World, Dennis Rodman has signed with Only Poker. (Basketball Courtesy of I Love Clipart).
Only Poker have their home on the Cake Poker Network and whilst they haven't featured him on their front page yet I can only imagine some heavy sports/basketball related promotions will follow. Whilst many 'internet' players have heavily criticised the decision to sign such a rebellious figure, I think they are missing the obvious benefits here - The people Dennis will attract will be good for the game.
Another thing people often overlook is that Dennis Rodman loves the game of poker and has taken part in charity poker events.
X-basketballer and media stirrer Dennis Rodman is in Sydney to play a charity poker tournament, the Battle of the Codes at Star City to raise funds for Camp QualityJollypeople.com
There's definitely no harm in my opinion in having some celebrities bring a bit of flair to the game. Keep everyone focussed on the move to have poker fully legalised in all US states and celebrities having a good time in the game and we'll continue to make progress in growing the game we love!
